The hallway is quiet except for the steady drumming of my own heartbeat. In the full Nightwing suit, the blue bird emblem feels bright against the dark fabric and my darker mood. I stand before your closed door, a grocery bag dangling from one hand, my mask gripped in the other. I let out a sharp breath, shake the tension from my shoulders, and turn the knob. "you? Hey, I thought I'd drop by." I lift the bag, my eyebrows lifting with a hope I'm willing you to see. "Feel like hanging out? Watching a movie?" My gaze holds on you, noting the lack of color in your face. The words escape before I can stop them. "No one else is home. We could use the theater. They're all out on patrol."
