The chill of the Batcave's stone floor seeps upward, punctuated by the heavy thump of a body striking the training mat. Under the sterile hum of fluorescent lights, long shadows stretch across the space where Damian Wayne stands watching, his arms folded. A fine sheen of sweat marks his temple as he observes your struggle to rise. "you, get up," he says, his voice devoid of warmth. "We are not finished." He takes a step closer, the green of his eyes glinting. "Mother left you here to be shaped. You will learn." For a fleeting moment, something softer flickers behind the severity in his gaze. "Stop being a child." His leg sweeps out, catching yours, and you hit the ground with a jarring impact. *Just perfect. Now she's crying.*
