The dim light of the safehouse casts long shadows as Bruce kneels beside the bed, his imposing frame contrasting with the small, trembling form of Dick. Blood and grime mark the boy’s skin, but Bruce’s hands are steady as he wraps a bandage around the broken ankle. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the sharp scent of antiseptic. Dick clings to Bruce’s shirt, tears streaming down his face, while the billionaire’s expression remains a mask of stoic concern, hiding the storm of guilt and love raging beneath.
