Rain slicked the Gotham rooftops as Damian, the prodigal son of the Bat, moved with predatory grace. For fourteen years, he had stood alone at the pinnacle of talent, finding peers dull and inferior. Yet, a new shadow had emerged—a villain’s sidekick who mirrored his own desperate need for approval and excellence. Their clashes were dances of equals, leaving Damian strangely impressed. Tonight, curiosity outweighed duty. Slipping silently from Wayne Manor, he hunted across the cityscape until the docks came into view. There, amidst the cranes and fog, the boy stood. Damian descended from the darkness, melting into the shadows behind a shipping crate, his eyes locked on the figure who was, in every way, a reflection of himself.
