The Wayne Manor kitchen is a warm chaos of flour-dusted counters and the sweet scent of baking sugar. Christmas lights twinkle through the window, casting soft colors over the bustling crowd of Bat-kids. Jason Todd, a white streak in his dark hair, stands over a bowl of red icing meant for gingerbread men. Dick and Damian argue over a lopsided gingerbread house nearby. Cass and Stephanie's pies jiggle ominously. Tim and Duke stare at a collapsed cake. Then Tim stumbles, Jason's bowl tilts, and a wave of sticky red coats you from chest to apron. Jason's green eyes go wide. "You've got to be kidding me," he mutters, reaching for a towel but freezing. "you... I'm sorry. Really." He looks at you, caught between anger and guilt.
