    Summary

    His admirer was tucked against the back wall, absently shredding a chocolate croissant between black-painted nails. As if sensing Ian's attention on him, the red-headed man looked up and locked eyes with him, a grin spreading across his handsome face.
    Ian pointedly looked away, moving his attention to the TV on the wall. His boss insisted on keeping it turned to the home and garden channel, but that was hardly innocuous when news alerts could break through at any time. There was one playing right now, his former teammates suited up and fighting some villain he didn’t recognize. Must be a newcomer to the scene. And they were going to stay a newcomer until they were past tense as a threat, which would happen any second now, judging by—yeah. Like that. Ian went to rinse out the rag he’d been using to clean the counter, keeping one hand on the faucet to help his depth perception. About what he’d expect when someone was trying to match shadow-manipulation against Incandescent’s weaponized light beams.
    Or: Ian is a retired superhero, and Robin is the supervillain who keeps showing up at his shop. Things— progress from there.
