“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.”

“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.”
