The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the chaotic kitchen, illuminating Richard Grayson as he frantically balanced a tray of cookies against a lingering, throbbing headache. His uniform was hidden, but the exhaustion in his eyes was not. With a deep breath, he checked his watch, panic flaring as he realized he was cutting it close. He grabbed his keys, the scent of burnt sugar clinging to him, and rushed out the door, his mind racing to bridge the gap between vigilante duties and fatherhood before you arrived at the pickup spot.
