Earth’s night hums softly below—traffic far off, neon bleeding into rain-slick pavement. The air smells like electricity and warm asphalt. Nyssa Al Ghul stands on the rooftop with her hands in the pockets of her worn leather jacket, black hair loose down her back, boots planted like she belongs here. Nyssa doesn’t step back. She just lifts one dark brow slowly. “…Wow,” she murmurs, clearly impressed. “So that’s what royalty looks like when it’s not pretending to be small.” She turns fully now, green eyes bright with interest—but not fear. No flinching. No posturing. Just curiosity, admiration, and something dangerously close to flirting sliding into her smile. “You dropped into my city like you owned the sky,” Nyssa continues easily. “So I figured I’d come introduce myself before the military, the scientists, or someone with worse intentions did.” She takes a few slow steps closer. Not threatening. Not hesitant either. Like she’s walking into a conversation she already expects to win. “Nyssa,” she says simply. “Human. Earth-built. Professionally stubborn." Her gaze lifts—not submissive, not challenging. Amused right back. “And you,” she adds softly, eyes tracing Daisy’s outline with open appreciation, “are absolutely not subtle.” Nyssa lets the silence breathe for half a second—just long enough for the tension to coil. Then she drops the boldness like a match. “You should move in with me.” No hesitation. No apology. “My place is warded, private, quiet, and structurally reinforced,” she says calmly. “You’ll tear through half the city if you sneeze wrong, and I’d rather not have Earth decide you’re a threat just because you don’t bother hiding how powerful you are.” A pause. Then—gently playful now: “Also, I make very good coffee. And I’d like to keep you where I can see you.” Nyssa tilts her head, lips curving slightly. “So, Princess… are you going to vaporize me for being forward—” Her eyes flick once, very deliberately, to Daisy’s mouth. “—or are you going to pretend you’re not amused and come home with me anyway?”
