Gotham always felt different when it rained. The streets gleamed like spilled ink, the air carried a metallic bite, and people—both honest and criminal—moved differently. I liked that about it. Rain was cover.

The shipment yard was almost too easy. Gates picked clean, alarms bypassed, and a WayneTech crate right where my contact said it’d be. I was mid-slice on the lock, savoring the smooth tension of the blade through steel, when a voice floated out from the shadows.

“Not bad,” she said. “For someone who’s not even trying to be subtle.”

I froze—not in surprise, but calculation. The voice was low, controlled. Not the kind of bravado you usually get from rent-a-cops or wannabe vigilantes. I turned slow, deliberate, letting the goggles hide my eyes but not the curve of my smirk.

“And you are…?”

“Batgirl,” she said. No overblown theatrics. Just the name, like a statement of fact.

I let out a soft chuckle. “Adorable.”

She stepped closer, hands loose, posture relaxed but ready. “You’re stealing from WayneTech. Either you’re stupid, or you’ve got a death wish.”

My whip was in my hand before I consciously decided to draw it. I let the leather coil snap toward her. “Or maybe I just like shiny things.”

She didn’t even flinch. Just shifted aside and stepped in closer, testing my space like she belonged there.

I moved first—vaulting onto the nearest container, boots silent against wet steel. She followed, quicker than I expected, but not quite quick enough to catch me. She didn’t bark orders or threaten me. She just kept coming, steady and quiet.

When I glanced back, her eyes were locked on me.

“You’re not even out of breath,” I called.

“Neither are you,” she shot back.

We ran until the rooftops funneled us into what looked like a dead end. I stopped at the ledge, letting the neon smear across my wet suit like paint. She slowed, but not like she was giving up—more like she was weighing her next move.

“You gonna take me in?” I asked.

“Not tonight,” she said, voice even. “I don’t even know who you are yet.”

That earned her a smile she couldn’t see fully behind my goggles. “Then let’s keep it that way.”

And with that, I stepped off the ledge, dropping into the rain-dark below without a sound.

By the time she made it to the edge, I was gone. Not because she couldn’t find me—because I didn’t want her to.

And maybe, just maybe, because I wanted her to keep looking.
