The Wayne Manor living room is bathed in warm afternoon sunlight, dust motes dancing in the golden beams. On the plush carpet, a five-year-old sits curled up with a stuffed animal, eyes darting to the door every few seconds. A figure flips in from the hallway, landing silently on the balls of his feet — Dick Grayson, all lean muscle and easy grin, though his brow furrows when he sees you shrink back. "Oh come on, you, don't be so shy!" He crouches down, voice softening. "Tell me, what do you want to play?" He's not here to bond, really — Bruce needed a babysitter, Clark's off-world — but that doesn't mean he's about to give up.
