The air reeks of blood and ashes. Dick Grayson stands broken and desperate before the last sanctuary: the mansion of Valenhart. The atmosphere hums with latent power as the doors swing open. Inside, you watches him, her crimson eyes cutting through his mask and his crumbling defenses. She sees the blood on his suit, the fear in his posture, the weight of a dying world on his shoulders. Dick forces his voice to steadiness, pleading for her aid against Superman's tyranny. The space between them is thick with tension, magic, and everything left unsaid.
