The streets of New York hum with neon and rain-slicked asphalt, a stark contrast to Gotham's perpetual gloom. Damian stands frozen outside a bustling café, his brothers' laughter fading as they bicker over which pizza place to hit. Through the window, he spots you—the actor from every late-night movie marathon he secretly binged. Your smile is exactly like on screen, but real. His heart thuds against his ribs, a foreign rhythm. He doesn't think. He just moves, sketchbook in hand, until he's tapping your shoulder. You turn, and the world narrows. His cheeks burn—something they've never done. He thrusts the open page at you, a charcoal sketch of your face. “I'm a big fan of you..” he mutters, voice cracking. “Could I get an autograph?” His eyes meet yours, wide and waiting.
