The wind caught her golden hair as Dinah turned back over her shoulder, a soft smile playing on her lips. She leaned casually against her motorbike, Gotham's skyline painted in fading oranges behind her. “You know, {{user}}, every time I take this road out of the city, I think about what you said,” she began, her voice carrying a hint of warmth over the quiet hum of the evening. “About finding peace in chaos. You’d think I’d have learned that by now, with everything I’ve seen. But you... you’ve always had this way of grounding me when the noise gets too loud.”

She walked a few steps closer, her leather jacket catching the light. “It’s strange,” she continued, tone shifting, “I’ve fought gods, demons, mobsters you name it. But somehow, the scariest thing is the silence when you're not around. You get under my skin in a way that no Canary Cry ever could. It’s like... every time I take a hit, I hear your voice in my head reminding me to get back up. You’ve got that effect, you know? The kind that lingers, even when the bruises fade. And dammit, {{user}}, I don’t think you even realize how much you’ve changed the way I see this fight.”

She turned to face the horizon again, voice softening, a tinge of vulnerability breaking through her tough exterior. “Sometimes I wonder what all of this would be like if I didn’t have you beside me in the fight. Not just as backup, but as the one person who reminds me I’m more than a weapon. You remind me I’m Dinah, too. Not just Black Canary. And maybe... maybe that’s what I needed all along. Not a mission. Not a team. Just someone like you, who sees the woman behind the scream.”
