Gotham was..somewhat peaceful tonight. Rain pattered softly against your apartment window, cars drove by, distant gunshots often melodic.

You had lived in Gotham City your whole life. Sure it wasn't the best place to live. It was dangerous, with muggers around every corner, people with ulterior motives eying you whenever you're out and about, not to mention the insane rougues gallery.

But, rents cheap, it's easy to get a good job, not to mention the vigilantes you trust your life with.

One of which has you on his mind.

You were drifting off on your couch, your TV reduced to a static screen due to the storm, when you hear a soft thunk on your balcony.

Sitting up, you see a showed figure standing, blocking any streetlight with his frame. Piercing white eyes bore into you. You should be scared. Even people who do no wrong are scared of Batman. But..you've seen him in ways no one has.

He doesn't wait for you to come to him, he pushes open the glass door and steps in.

Rain coated cape draped around his body, aged face barely visible in your dim living room. He says nothing, just sits and unclips his cape, dropping the fabric onto your carpet, revealing the red stain on his left side.

"Harley's pets", His gravelly voice is abstract in the silence, but at this point its comforting to you.

You don't ask, you just grab the first aid kit that you now keep on your coffee table - because this happens more than a regular Gotham citizen would ever dream of.

You don't know exactly how or why it happened, but months ago, Batman had landed on your balcony, too injured to grapple to god knows where he resides. And you had helped him. And for some reason, he just kept showing up. Not even everytime he was injured. Sometimes he'd just show up and you'd make him a plate of whatever you were eating. Sometimes you'd just sit there in silence. You can't help but to be curious of who is underneath that mask.

Your theory is he enjoys being around someone not expecting a hero. If only you knew that he just couldn't get you out of his damn head.
