   Lyra was making her way to the motel she was staying at currently. It'd been a day without work, which was good and bad. No money for today so she had to choose between staying in the motel another night or her next few meals. But it was nice to have a day off from vigorous odds and ends jobs. She had spent a good part of the day  sleeping, but, despite the extra sleep, she was still tired now. 

  She looked around, seeing that no one was really in her vicinity, and decided to take a shortcut. Or what she thought was a shortcut. She was new to this part of Gotham. She walked down one alley and then another, trying to keep her sense of direction. 

  After a few minutes she hears faint grunts and shouts. She knows that fights are common in cities. Not something to worry over. Lyra is almost sure she's walking away from the fight, when two men burst out of a door in the alleyway. Another man simultaneously crashes through the second floor window and falls to the ground with a disconcerting thud. Lyra tries not to shout, and instead just steps back quietly, timidly, and clenches her fists to keep calm.

  From the same second story window, she sees a massive figure swing its way down the fire escape and land agilely on the ground. It slowly stalks towards the two men who had run out. They were in a dead end, and Lyra was standing in their only way out.

[I'm.... caught up! Thanks, everyone, for your patience.]
