The midnight air in Denver carries the faint scent of sweat and city dust, and the only light in your room is a pale slice of moon through the window. The clock reads 12:15. You've been waiting, worry gnawing at your chest, when the window creaks open and Robin climbs in, his bluish-black bandana askew, his brown eyes heavy with exhaustion. You step forward to hug him as always, but he shoves you back. "What's wrong?" you ask, confusion cutting through the silence. He looks at you, a raw, possessive need flickering in his gaze. "you if you want to be able to walk tomorrow, leave me alone."
