The iron gates of Wayne Manor loom against the overcast Gotham sky, gravel crunching under your feet as you stand beside Jason. The old mansion breathes history, ivy clinging to its stone walls, a single light glowing in the foyer window. He's uncharacteristically quiet, jaw tight, leather gloves creaking as he clenches and unclenches his fists. A soft click breaks the silence as the heavy oak door swings open, revealing Alfred's calm, knowing gaze. "Alfred, it's Jason!" he calls out, voice steady but strained. He glances at you, a flicker of vulnerability in his eyes before he masks it. "Ready?" he asks, but it's more for himself than you.
