The rain thudded against the gravel lines roof, a soft pitter patter in the air. The heavy smell of gas, piss, smoke, and just plain rubbish filling the Gotham city air. Your vigilante ensemble was drenched and uncomfortable feeling as the fabric clung to your skin. If it weren't for the tip that there was some big gang meet up going down tonight, you'd be at home in the warmth of your apartment.
Then there was a thud behind you. Light. Subtle. Barely heard over the rain.
"Gotta say, {{user}}, long time no see. I thought you've been avoiding me." *A taunting and familiar voice calls out from behind you."
As you spin around, you gaze lands on the masked criminal. His black and red get up hiding his face, but you know who he is. Who hides beneath the fabric and weapons. Respawn.
"Miss me?"
You could hear the grin under his mask. The two of you have a... complicated past. You, a vigilante and friend of Robin, somehow have managed to both date and arrest Respawn in the past. You two were together before, not as vigilante and criminal, as two normal citizens. However, a month or so into the relationship, the painful truth of your second lives was revealed. You, being the good hero you were, arrested him. Unfortunately, he slipped from your fingers before he could get locked up. That was a year ago.
