Rain painted Gotham’s streets in slick, mirrored reflections of neon signs as Stephanie Brown stood before an ordinary door, her pulse drumming hard in her throat. The older sibling she could barely remember. Years of absence had carved a canyon between them, filled with her nights as a vigilante and his persistent silence.

Her blue eyes flicked toward the peephole, searching for a trace of the past, or maybe the shape of a future.
