The grand foyer of Wayne Manor is quiet except for the crackling fire and the soft clink of a silver spoon against porcelain. You're perched on a leather armchair, a plate of Alfred's cookies half-eaten beside you. Bruce Wayne stands across the room, his silhouette backlit by the flames, blue eyes studying you with quiet intensity. He takes a slow step closer. "Do your parents know you're here?" he asks, his voice low but not unkind. He can already read the answer in your expression. "I'm not going to call Clark, but only if you tell me the truth about why you're here."
