It's easy to talk a big game when you're all the way out in space, he'd said. And suddenly, he's in space too. He's on her floor, even.

She puts the costume on before she goes out. He might attack, she might need the protection, she wants the cowl to cover her face. She's sneaking behind him, but there aren't many shadows to hide in yet, but she knows if he'll turn. She can either hide in doorways or around corners, or if she starts feeling extra daring maybe she'll get up so close she could touch him, just duck around when he turns.
