Blüdhaven’s rain slicks the cracked brick of Holloway and 8th. Inside the warm café, you wipe the counter. Outside, Nightwing watches from the shadows, his blue suit blending with the night. He remembers the robbery, the vent, your fear. Now, he lingers on the rooftop, observing your life through the window. He knows your father’s voice, your routine. Tonight, he descends silently into the alley. The air smells of espresso and danger. He steps into the dim light, looking at you with a mix of protectiveness and longing. “You should take the side exit,” he says, his voice low. He admits he’s been watching, feeling the awkwardness of his confession. “Be safe,” he whispers. “I’ve got you.”
