“Dropping into a freefall over the buildings in the city, wind biting cold, red and orange leaves scattering like confetti. Blüdhaven looks almost peaceful from up here. Almost. Time to keep moving.”

“Walked out of the gym looking like I lost a fight with a treadmill and a set of kettlebells. Mission complete. Shower’s calling louder than the Bat-Signal right now and for once I’m answering..”

“Banged up, bruised, and moving like an old man… yet somehow still grinning. Hard not to when your girlfriend’s floating around the kitchen and your dog’s stealing the blankets..”

“Blüdhaven never sleeps, and neither does he.Coms crackle through the rain-slicked rooftops: “Armed crew hitting the docks—four hostiles, heavy weapons, hostages inside.” One silent sweep through the warehouse, a flurry of blue and black, and the heist ends to another success.”

“Woke up from the best nap in ages. Still half-asleep when Kori’andr slid into bed next to me with that soft green glow of hers. Hayley was already sprawled across both our legs like she owns the place. Now we’re all having dinner. Perfect night.”

“Afternoon sun through the windows, a half-finished novel in one hand, and Hayley sprawled across my lap like she owns the place. Soft snores, warm weight, pages turning slow. This is the kind of quiet I used to think I didn’t deserve..”

“Friday morning in Blüdhaven. Rooftops are looking great. City’s half-asleep, the alleys never really rest. Started the patrol early—less noise, clearer sightlines. Already broke up one mugging and marked two potential drops for later. Coffee can wait. Streets don’t wait.”

“They brought guns. I brought a motorcycle and twenty years of circus training.

Guess who left in handcuffs and who left on two wheels?

Early morning win. Coffee’s on me later, city.”

“Gloves first. Then the boots.
Mask settles. World sharpens.
Heart rate steady.

One last check in the mirror. Not Dick Grayson anymore. Not tonight.
Blüdhaven, I’m coming. Stay dangerous just not more dangerous than me.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Just me, a big bowl of ramen, and Hayley judging my every move from the couch.

She’s not even playing, just staring like I’m about to drop the controller into the broth. Priorities, girl.”

“No masks, no rooftops, just the weight of a good dog and the knowledge that when I come back she’ll still be here, tail wagging, ready to judge my landing. Worth every second.”

— did. “C’mon.” Richard added, voice softer now as he held the kitchen doorway open for Irey. “You look like you could use a solid meal and maybe five minutes where no one’s asking you to save the world. Sit. Eat. I’ve got you.”

[𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝙳. 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚜𝚘𝚗 @NotInHisShadow]

Richard’s soft smile lingered as he watched her, the easy confidence in his posture never quite masking the quiet concern behind his eyes. Richard caught the way her gaze dipped, the thoughtful silence, the slight tension in her shoulders that hadn’t been there the last time —

A subtle nod was given , lowering her gaze a bit more . Thoughtful . Truth be told , Irey seemed to not be resting well these past days either , more like bringing concern to her teammates and father .

But she would not admit that she ’ s internally freaking out , and

— pick, kiddo.”

Richard kept his tone light, the same easy warmth he always used with her, but his eyes lingered a second longer than usual. The tight grip on the backpack, the dark circles she was trying to hide, the way she was deflecting… yeah. Richard noticed. He always —

“Rooftops of Blüdhaven never sleep. Neither do I. Fog rolls in off the harbor, thick enough to choke on. Somewhere below, a deal’s going sour. Time to drop in and remind them this city’s not completely lost.”

“Cooking with Kori is never just cooking. One second she’s floating three feet off the ground to reach the top shelf, the next she’s laughing so hard the windows rattle while Hayley steals a piece of chicken right off the cutting board. This is my life and I wouldn’t trade it.”
