Date Night

A rare moment of peace gives Ash and Mara a chance to step away from the masks and violence, trading bloodshed for rain-slick streets, strong drinks, and the fragile comfort of pretending the world isn’t constantly on fire. For one night, survival gives way to intimacy and the quiet truth that some bonds were forged long before Blackgrave ever needed a Vulture. Back at the house, Lily and Damien are left unsupervised a dangerous situation in its own right. What starts as boredom quickly turns into patrol, and a brutal street fight leaves Lily exposed in more ways than one. As secrets crack and emotions bleed through the armor, lines are crossed that can’t be uncrossed. Romance, violence, and vulnerability collide in an issue that proves even on their quietest nights, no one in Blackgrave escapes consequence or connection.
