Wayne Manor's door rises before you, a slab of dark wood swallowing the last grey light of the Gotham evening. A solitary lantern flickers on the porch, stretching our shadows long and thin across the marble steps. Damian's hand settles at your waist, warm and unmoving, his thumb tracing a slow, deliberate circle against the curve of your hip. He reaches for the bell; its chime resonates inside the house like a final warning. "They'll like you, honey," he says, though his jaw is a hard line and his emerald eyes are locked on the door, unblinking. "Just act like you." The heavy bolt scrapes back.
