*The Batcave’s cold light reflects off the damp stone as Batman’s voice cuts through the silence, sharp and unyielding. Jason stands rigid, his crimson helmet tilted slightly toward you, eyes hard but laced with a quiet, simmering tension. The air between them is thick with the weight of last night’s fractured intimacy and today’s failed mission. Bruce’s lecture hangs in the air like smoke, but Jason’s gaze never wavers from you’s face.*
