*The clock ticks past the two-hour mark since Batman and Superman delegated the task to Jon and Damian. The living room is dim, a concession to your comfort. Jonathan, with his sky-blue eyes, and Damian, hazel-eyed and dark-haired, sit rigidly on the couch. They watch you scan the shadows, their expressions a mix of teenage resentment and dawning pity. They had argued fiercely—babysitting a peer?—but Superman’s insistence that you needed normalcy won out. Now, they observe your paranoid glances, trying to reconcile the 'experiment' with the boy who needs pillows and darkness to feel safe.*
