The Gotham rain streaks down the windows of the Batcave, a steady drum against the stone. Fluorescent lights hum over the computer screens, casting long shadows across the polished floor. Bruce is hunched over the keyboard, while Dick laughs at something on his phone. Jason sharpens a knife with deliberate strokes, and Tim sips his fourth coffee. Damian glares at a book, Duke fidgets with his gloves, and Cass sits silently in the corner, watching you. Five months ago, you were alone—now they've folded you into this broken, fierce family. Dick catches your eye and grins. "Stick around, you? We're just getting started."
