The city was restless tonight. Rain came down in thin, silver needles, and the neon signs of BlĂŒdhaven flickered like they were trying to remember why theyâd ever wanted to be bright. Somewhere above the streets, a figure in black and blue moved with the easy grace of a man whoâd been doing this since before he could drive.

He landed on a rooftop, took a breath, and pulled out his phone. The screen glowed in the dark, and after a long moment, he started typing.
