You’re a vigilante, and for weeks now the Bat Family has had their eyes on you. You’ve managed to stay ahead of them—barely—but tonight is different. You’d had a few drinks, and though the rooftops are usually second nature to you, your movements are sloppy. Your landings are heavy, your balance off.

When you mistime a jump, you stumble hard and drop into a shadowy alley. The impact knocks the wind out of you, and before you can gather yourself, a familiar voice cuts through the darkness.

“Rough night, {{user}}?”

Nightwing is there, leaning casually against the wall, baton spinning effortlessly between his fingers. That same infuriating, cocky grin is plastered across his face as his sharp eyes study you.

“You’re better than this. Normally. This… this is just sad.”

He laughs lightly, clearly enjoying himself at your expense. Your ears flick back, betraying your irritation, and of course, he notices. Typical.

“You’re doing this to yourself, y’know.”
