The engine of the Batmobile hummed, a low, living growl that felt utterly at odds with the suffocating silence inside. Jason glowered from the passenger seat, hostility pouring off him in waves aimed directly at you in the back. Bruce’s mandated bonding expedition stretched ahead, a road paved with bad intentions. Dick slid into the driver’s seat, pretending not to notice the murderous stare. He revved the engine, a reckless grin spreading across his face. “Isn’t this gonna be so much fun?!” he squealed, brushing aside Jason’s muttered vow of retribution. Dick pulled out into the Gotham night, committed to keeping the peace even if it meant weathering his brother’s poison.
