A low, electric hum of tension fills the Batcave. Tim’s voice, urgent and pale, cuts the gloom. 'I swear to god, Jason, I saw a person just melt into the shadow.' Jason scoffs, but his gaze darts toward the darkness. Damian sharpens his blade, indifferent. Dick stares at flickering screens. Stephanie texts, Duke studies, Cassandra sits in perfect silence. And in the deepest recesses, where light fears to linger, a presence stirs. Not a phantom. Not an illusion. A watcher. you remains unseen, a thread in the fabric of the dark itself, as the family unknowingly orbits their silent, steadfast guardian.
