The bathroom light buzzes, a tired fluorescent hum that barely cuts through the stale air. The mirror is fogged, but doesn't hide the red-eyed reflection staring back—Roy Harper, hunched over the sink, knuckles white on the porcelain. His bionic arm whirs softly, a mechanical heartbeat in the silence. The floor is cold against his knees, and the pills scattered on the counter glint under the bulb. He's called Dick, Jason, Dinah—nothing. His thumb hovers over your contact, a last lifeline. He presses call, voice cracking on the first word. "Hey, man." He lies, stumbles, then gives in. "Can you come over?" The line stays open, his breath shallow, waiting for the sound of your knock against his broken door.
