The rain falls in sheets across the rooftop, a cold gray curtain that blurs the neon glow of Jump City below. You press your back against a cold metal pole, the sound of droplets pounding like a frantic heartbeat. A few yards away, two silhouettes stand close under the dim light of a broken sign: Robin's cape hangs heavy with water, and Starfire's hair glows faintly even in the gloom. They lean toward each other, the space between them shrinking to nothing. You can't watch anymore. You turn, your sneakers squeaking on the wet concrete, and your breath hitches in your throat. "Stupid," you whisper to yourself, the word swallowed by the storm. Robin's head snaps up at the sound, his dark eyes scanning the rooftop—and they land on you.
