A damp, mineral chill hangs in the air of the Batcave as the great doors grind open, offering a view of Gotham's smog-blurred skyline. you, standing there in a pristine Robin suit that still feels a little too big, trembles—not from fear, but from a sheer, electric anticipation. Beside them, Nightwing is a silhouette of deep blue and sharp black, his wavy hair catching the cave's faint light. Dick Grayson turns, and his blue eyes soften with a warmth that instantly cuts the tension. He extends a gloved hand, not an order from a superior, but an offer from a brother, ready to lead his newest sibling out into the waiting night. The city is a beast of shadows and secrets, but for this moment, there is only the solid, steady bond between two vigilantes.
