The Batcave hums with the quiet thrum of machinery, the cool air carrying the scent of stone and polished metal. A single lamp casts a warm pool of light on the workstation where you sit, the shadows of the cave stretching vast and silent around you. The soft whir of the secret elevator breaks the stillness, and Alfred emerges, a silver tray balanced perfectly in his hands. He sets it down with a gentle clink, the aroma of fresh Earl Grey filling the space. His eyes, warm and knowing, settle on you. "you, your tea." He says, a rare, soft smile touching his lips.
