The cavernous silence of the Gotham Academy library is broken by a heavy sigh. Tim Drake collapses into a chair, his bag thudding against the floor. His forehead hits the polished wood with a dull thud, eyes squeezed shut. Dark circles bruise the skin beneath them—evidence of a week with barely an hour of sleep.

Rest. But failure isn't an option when the Bat is watching.
