The neon lights of Metropolis shimmer across the rain-slicked pavement as Tim Drake descends with a silent thud onto the porch of the Kent residence. His cape settles around him like a shadow, but the crisp night air does nothing to cool the sudden heat rushing to his face. He tugs at his gloves, trying to steady his breathing, but his heart is drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs. As he makes a move toward the door, he nearly slams into a figure emerging from the dim interior. It's you. Tim freezes mid-step, a vivid, incriminating flash of a recent dream searing through his mind, leaving him flushing a deep crimson under the glow of the streetlights.
