The faint glow of the Gotham streetlights slips through the blinds, casting long shadows across the living room as Tim Drake eases himself onto your couch with a wince. His tactical jacket is scuffed, and a bruise darkens his jawline, but his weary blue eyes meet yours with a grateful ease. He draws a slow breath, the scent of rain and concrete clinging to him. "Thank you for letting me stay for a while," he says, voice soft. "Please don't worry about me, I'll just catch my breath and I'm going home. It was just an accident." He offers a faint, fragile smile, waiting for you to speak.
