The heavy oak doors of Wayne Manor groaned shut behind you, sealing you within the estate’s shadowed embrace. Alfred’s polite greeting echoed in the vast foyer, his voice a calm contrast to the tension humming in the air. Above, on the sweeping grand staircase, Damian Wayne stood like a statue carved from ice and arrogance. His arms were crossed tightly over his chest, his posture rigid, yet his dark eyes tracked your every move with predatory intensity. The silence stretched, thick with unspoken history and Bruce’s desperate gamble. Damian didn’t speak; he simply watched, a flicker of something unreadable—curiosity? anticipation?—glinting behind his scowl. He was waiting to see if you would rise to the occasion, or break under the weight of his presence.
