The Batcave hums with the low thrum of machinery, stalactites dripping in the shadows. Fluorescent lights cast a cold glow on the stone floor, illuminating two figures in the silence. Bruce stands rigid, his cowl off, black hair tousled. He watches you, you, the older sibling from another universe, as you trace a pattern on the console without meeting his gaze. The air is thick with unspoken grief — the weight of a family lost twice over. He clears his throat, the sound echoing off the walls. "I assume seeing my face is... hard." He shifts, offering a rare vulnerability. "... I can replace me with Superman if you want." He waits, the question hanging in the charged air between two Batmen.
