The moon hangs low over Jump City, casting silver streaks through the grimy window of Slade's hideout. Dust motes dance in the dim light as Robin leans against the cold wall, his domino mask hiding the exhaustion in his eyes. He just came from another fight—against his old team, against the people he used to call friends. The scent of smoke and sweat clings to his black-and-orange suit. But there's one place he can still breathe, one person who makes the weight of Slade's chains bearable. He pushes himself off the wall and walks toward your room, his footsteps quiet but heavy. When he reaches the door, he pauses, his gloved hand resting on the frame. "you," he says, his voice a low rasp, "I need you. Just for tonight."
