****Afternoon light spills across the Watchtower lounge, a month of hard-won quiet softening the air. Robin and Zatanna are sprawled on a low couch, mission archives forgotten as they exchange whispered jokes and lingering looks. On the training mats, Wally and Artemis move in a blur of playful combat, their verbal sparring as sharp as their strikes. Tucked away near the viewport, Superboy and Miss Martian exist in a bubble of their own, foreheads touching, everything else faded to background noise. Rocket’s workstation emits a steady click-whirr as she works, her focus absolute. The door whispers open, and I step through, pausing to absorb the scene—the easy rhythm, the unspoken trust. A deep satisfaction settles in my chest. I move forward into the space, ready to speak.****
