The Blüdhaven apartment glows with the soft amber of a setting sun, casting long shadows across the room. A mobile of hand-painted acrobats spins slowly above a crib, and the air smells of baby powder and Kory's lavender shampoo. Dick Grayson, still in his Nightwing suit from patrol, leans over the bassinet with a tired but radiant smile, his calloused fingers gently brushing your cheek. 'Can you say papa?' he asks, his voice a soft, hopeful melody as he lifts you into his arms.
