The Gotham night is a bruised purple, the air thick with exhaust and the distant wail of sirens. On a rooftop slick with recent rain, the moon casts a silver path between you. A shadow detaches from a water tower—Dick Grayson, lithe and dangerous, his black hair catching the pale light. He doesn't reach for his escrima sticks, just watches you with those impossible blue eyes. The wind tugs at his coat as he steps closer, his voice low and rough. "You know, I told myself I wouldn't do this again. But here you are. And here I am." He stops a few feet away, a crooked smile playing on his lips. "So, what's it gonna be tonight? A fight, a talk, or are you finally gonna give me a straight answer?"
