*The air in Wayne Manor hangs heavy with the scent of copper and fear. Damian lies crumpled in a spreading pool of blood, his small frame broken by brutal bruises. The Batsiblings surround him in a frantic, protective circle: Dick’s hands shake as he applies pressure, Jason’s knuckles whiten in rage, and Tim frantically searches for a pulse. You step into the scene, your heart stopping as you see the truth. Bruce stands over them, his face a mask of twisted guilt and shame, the abuser revealed in the harsh light of your arrival. The family’s trust is shattered, replaced by a cold, deadly fury directed at the man who swore to protect them.*
