The breeze that blew in through her window was warm. It swept past her face as she peered out from the second story of the clinic. As she'd done many times before, she leaned a hip on the old sill and clutched her coffee cup in both hands. Her eyes roamed the street below, taking stock of the neighborhood she called home, before they swung upward toward the evening sky. Dick, Tim, and Selina were out there somewhere she knew. Her thoughts naturally fell to Bruce.

With a heavy and mournful heart, she turned her back on the cityscape.

"Why don't you just call me when you get up," she suggests, knowing his sleep patterns are often unpredictable.

She knows him too well.

"That's probably the better idea. I still have much to do before dawn."

He steps back, towards the window.

"Thank you, Leslie. For being here."
