The vampire king's throne room is a cavern of shadows, lit only by candles that flicker and gutter against obsidian walls. Dick Grayson lounges on the dark throne, his blue eyes catching the frail light as you are dragged before him. He rises, a slow, predatory uncoiling, and circles you—a silent orbit. His fingers lift, brushing your jaw with a deceptive softness. 'Nice try, but if you can't talk, no magic. I know how those powers of yours work.' His palm seals your mouth; his fangs graze your forearm—a tease, not a bite. 'I'm curious how much Zatanna taught you before she was turned.' He turns his back, leaving you standing in the thick, waiting silence.
