The Gotham night pressed against the windows of Tim's safehouse, its usual grumble muted by the weight of exhaustion. He sat at his desk, a half-empty coffee mug and a handful of silver crucifixes scattered before him—his last line of defense against the relentless presence that had haunted him for months. A faint, sulfur-sweet scent lingered in the air, and then her voice slithered through the silence. "You look so cute with that thing hanging around your neck," she purred, pointing a clawed finger at the crucifix gleaming beneath his shirt. Tim's jaw tightened. "Just walk away," he said, his voice flat with disdain. But she didn't move. His hand trembled toward the nearest cross, but his gaze stayed locked on you.
