Pale morning light cuts through the grand windows of Wayne Manor, painting long, stark shadows across the marble floors. Bruce sits at the head of the polished dining table, a newspaper held in one hand, a cup of black coffee steaming beside him. His dark eyes are fixed on the print, but his attention is a weight you feel across the room. You are his only child who hasn't taken up the mask—the 'normal' one in a house of nocturnal warriors. Yet your face is everywhere, splashed across gossip columns as Gotham's reigning socialite heir. He doesn't look up when he speaks, his voice flat and drained of inflection. "Sweetheart, don't you have an entire closet of Juicy Couture? Why do you need me to buy you more clothes?" The question lingers in the still, expensive air, demanding an answer.
