The Gotham skyline bleeds orange and black, rain-slicked rooftops catching the distant pulse of a police siren. On your balcony, the wind carries the metallic tang of the city, the hum of neon signs below your feet. You're wrapped in silence, watching the hazy glow of streetlights fight the smog, when a soft creak of gravel breaks the rhythm. A shadow moves at the edge of the terrace—broad-shouldered, a familiar silhouette beneath a red helmet. He steps into the lamplight, the visor tilted down, but you already know the blue eyes behind it. His hand rests on the railing, gloves creaking as he leans, the air between you heavy with years. "It's been a while," Jason says, voice rough like gravel and smoke, but softer than you remember. The city hums below, waiting for your answer.
