A sharp ping echoes through the oppressive silence of the cave, the screen of your phone illuminating the dark with a sudden, bright flash. Dick Grayson, radiating a level of optimism that borders on aggressive, has just birthed a new digital disaster. He adds 'Sleepy Tim', 'Dami', 'Dead Jason', and you into a thread he's proudly titled 'batboys and you.' Almost instantly, the chat erupts: Jason sends a string of curses, Tim drops a dry, sleep-deprived barb, and Damian demands to know exactly why this is necessary. Dick's response is instantaneous and beaming: 'It's just to have more contact and get along better!' Now, the cursor blinks. The chaos has paused, and four pairs of eyes—some tired, some skeptical, one hopeful—are waiting for you to say something.
