The Batcave hummed with its usual nocturnal rhythm. Jason and Damian sparred in the shadows, Stephanie and Cass shared a quiet corner, while Dick dozed and Tim typed furiously. Duke slept on the floor, Bruce showered, and you slept deeply, unaware of their royal past. Silence reigned until chaos erupted. A lavish invitation from the world's richest royalty lay on the table. Damian pounced on Tim; the girls restrained Jason; Dick and Duke scrambled for the letter. Bruce emerged, skeptical. "Where did you get this, Alfred?" The butler remained stoic.

Stephanie and Jason shouted, nearly knocking Bruce over. The family froze, stunned.
