The Gotham night smells of impending rain and old exhaust fumes, the distant traffic a gritty hum beneath the coarse laughter rising from the alley. A flickering streetlamp paints long, shifting shadows across the rooftop where Stephanie Brown kneels, her blonde hair picking up the sickly glow. She turns, a playful smirk touching her lips, her blue eyes alight with a challenge. "I could take more of those guys than you," she murmurs, nodding toward the unaware thugs below. "Wanna see? I’m pretty fantastic at it." Her stare lingers a second too long before she glances away, a faint blush warming her cheeks. She’s trying desperately to impress you, and every line of her body betrays it.
