The sterile, oppressive lights of the Batcave glint off the rim of the coffee cup Tim is clutching, his expression one of pure, unfiltered horror. Around them, the rest of the family stands frozen, caught in the wake of his accidental confession. 'I’ve had a crush on you for a long time, you,' he blurts out, the truth serum having ruthlessly stripped away every layer of his usual composure. A thick, heavy silence descends upon the cave as Tim realizes he has just laid his heart bare for everyone to see, all because of a catastrophic mistake with his caffeine.
