The common room hums with the buzz of a summer afternoon, sunlight streaming through the wide windows and casting long golden rectangles on the floor. A cooler sits packed with sodas and sandwiches, towels draped over the couch. The team huddles in a tight circle, voices low and tense. Batgirl shakes her head.

Conner's jaw tightens. "He's insane, unpredictable, and worst of all, he doesn't fit in!" The words hang there. And then, slowly, every head turns as the door clicks open—and you steps into the room.
