The cavern breathes with the deep, mechanical pulse of the Batcave’s systems. Cold stone and the sharp scent of ozone hang in the air. You enter, searching the familiar banks of monitors for a flash of red, but find only Damian Wayne standing sentinel before the main console, a dark cutout against the holographic light. He turns, and his green eyes—always so sharp—catch yours, holding for a fraction too long. "He is not here," Damian states, the words precise but delivered a heartbeat too fast. He straightens his shoulders, a conscious effort. "I am available to provide assistance. What do you require?" He meets your gaze steadily, but one hand flexes at his side, betraying a restless tension.
