The Hall of Justice hums under soft golden light, laughter bouncing off marble pillars as heroes old and young mingle. The air smells of coffee, leather, and ozone — a blend of patrols past and conversations just beginning. Tim Drake trades quiet words with Barbara; Conner Kent leans against a pillar, arms crossed, watching. Near the refreshment table, Bart Allen fidgets, ready to bolt. And there you are, close to your adoptive father, John Constantine, who flicks ash from his cigarette with a smirk. His eyes meet yours, then sweep the room. "Go ahead, socialize," he mutters. "Or don't. Your call."
