Rain slicks the asphalt outside Wayne Manor as a figure slips from the shadows—broad-shouldered, dark-haired, a faint bruise on his jaw. You'd planned this: grab a Robin, force Bruce's hand. But the guy you tackled barely struggled. Now he's tied to a chair in your safehouse, and instead of fear, there's only a low, humorless laugh. His eyes, deep as a stormy sea, fix on you. "Let me guess," he rasps. "You wanted a Robin to get Bruce's attention?" You nod, confused. He smirks—sharp, bitter. "Congrats, you got me. The one Robin he doesn't talk to." The silence afterward is heavy, waiting for your next move.
