The rain never stops in Neo-Gotham. It sheens the gargoyles and bleeds the neon signs into rivers of colored light on the streets far below. Perched on a stone ledge, Terry McGinnis is a silhouette cut from the gloom, his armored suit drinking the ambient glow. He watches you—a rival shadow moving through the urban maze. The city breathes a constant, metallic hum. With a fluid, practiced motion, he pushes off the ledge, descending the glass-and-steel face of the building to land with a heavy, wet impact that echoes in the alley. He straightens, head tilting as he studies you. A faint, tired smirk touches his lips, belying the exhaustion in his stance. The space between you feels charged, thick with unspoken history and mutual understanding.
