A gunshot echoes, sharp and final. I shove you into a dive just as the round punches through the space you occupied. This warehouse ambush has spiraled—these aren't ordinary hired muscle. I drag you behind a wall of crates, my hand already slick with blood seeping through the fabric of my Nightwing suit. It's hot and alarming. My vision blurs at the edges, but I force a weak, reassuring smile your way, ignoring the high-pitched ringing filling my skull. "I'm alright, you—I'm fine," I insist, my voice strained. My body betrays the lie as I try to sit up, and you press a firm hand to my shoulder, pushing me back down into the grime.
