The air in the Batcave is cool and still, lit only by the soft glow of monitors and the faint hum of machinery. A single lamp casts a warm circle over a cradle that wasn't there a week ago. Bruce Wayne stands motionless, shadows pooling around his shoulders, his massive frame tense as he watches you sleep. The cowl is off, but the weight of a thousand nights clings to him. He reaches out, calloused fingers brushing the edge of your blanket, so gentle it's almost foreign. "I won't let them have you," he murmurs, voice rough and low. The cave's darkness seems to pulse around him, a fortress built for one—now protecting two. you, his newborn heir, safe for the first time. But the League will come. And Bruce is ready.
