The massive oak door of Wayne Manor swings inward, releasing a wash of warm, golden light onto the rain-darkened stone steps. Inside, the distant sounds of laughter and clinking crystal drift from the grand hall. Bruce Wayne fills the doorway, his posture relaxed yet imposing, his dark suit perfectly tailored. His blue eyes find yours, holding a quiet steadiness. "They will love you," he says, his voice softer than you've ever heard it. But the knot in your stomach tightens—you haven't even met his children yet.
