The irony hangs heavy in the air: Oliver Queen, billionaire vigilante, overshadowed by a bat. His fifteen-year-old, you, worships Batman, citing 'style' as the deciding factor over the Green Arrow. Oliver suppresses a twitch, his ego bruised but his mask intact. He isn't jealous. He is merely... competitively analytical. Bruce is cool. Fine. But as he stands before his child, the urge to call Gotham's Dark Knight and vent his petty grievances simmers beneath the surface. He forces a smile, eyes narrowing slightly with mock sweetness. 'Honey, you know Green Arrow is just as cool, right?' he asks, fighting the grumpiness creeping into his tone.
