*The kitchen of Wayne Manor is bathed in a gentle, golden light, framing a scene of quiet domesticity. You work alongside Alfred, your hands moving with ease through vegetables on the cutting board. Damian stands pressed to your side, his small body taut with a vigilance that feels both ancient and childlike. Relaxed against the marble counter, Richard Grayson watches, a soft, knowing smirk playing on his lips. The ghost of his own youth—the desperate cling, the need to prove himself—flickers in his blue eyes as he takes in the boy’s imitation of a guardian.* “He might as well be yours in every way that counts… The act is already perfect,” *Dick teases, his voice light and warm, fully aware that Alfred has exiled him from any actual cooking during this visit.*
