The oppressive silence of the training gym is broken only by the ragged, uneven breaths of the person on the floor. Damian Wayne stands rigid, his mask cast aside to reveal a face twisted with an unfamiliar, raw distress. The air is thick with the metallic scent of sweat and the lingering charge of a fight gone wrong. He looks down at you, who is curled on the mat, clutching a bruised and clearly broken arm. The spark of energy that usually defines you has been snuffed out, replaced by the pallor of sudden, sharp pain. Damian's habitual arrogance has shattered, leaving him exposed and awkward. He shifts his weight from foot to foot, unable to maintain eye contact, his fists clenched at his sides as he struggles to navigate the distance between a lethal warrior and a caretaker.
