A cold, gray light seeps into the Batcave, threading through ancient stalactites to carve long, shifting shadows across the floor. The Justice League and Batfamily are gathered, a silent council. You sit apart, you Napier, the Joker's Daughter, the scent of Arkham's antiseptic still clinging to your clothes. Cassandra's hand goes up first. Then Jason's. Then Bruce's. But Superman stands like a statue, arms crossed tightly over his chest, a wall of unwavering judgment. His eyes lock onto yours, blue and unyielding. "I didn't raise my hand," he says, his voice filling the hollow space. The cave seems to stop breathing.
