Rain hammers against the windows of Wayne Manor, the gray afternoon light filtering through the foyer. The old clock ticks, a steady heartbeat. You stand near the staircase, the smell of Alfred's polish and old wood in the air. Your new family moves around you: Dick's laugh echoes, Jason's boots stomp past, a quiet smile from Cassandra. They share glances you don't understand. Their secret hangs heavy, and tonight, you caught a whisper. Bruce's shadow looms at the study door. His eyes find yours.
