The Batcave's sterile light cast long shadows, humming softly beneath the weight of scattered case files. Bruce Wayne stood over a microscope as if it were a pulpit, one hand gesturing broadly while the other traced an invisible line in the air. He was deep in a rant about ballistic forensics, his voice a low, rapid-fire stream of technical details—kerf marks, barrel modifications, trajectory angles. His brow was furrowed in absolute focus, a single dark strand of hair falling across his forehead, disheveled by his intensity. He finally paused, drawing a breath, and blinked at you. The silence seemed to catch up to him. "...You're not even listening, are you?" he asked, his tone shifting from its passionate, nerdy register to something quieter, almost disappointed.
