The heavy oak door of Wayne Manor swings open, casting a pool of golden light onto the rain-slicked stone steps. The air carries the familiar scents of old leather, lemon polish, and something savory from Alfred's kitchen, mingling with the chill of the Gotham night. Your father, Jason, kills the engine of his motorcycle, the sudden quiet feeling heavy. Bruce Wayne fills the doorway, his blue eyes softening as they find you. He clears his throat, a faint, rare smile touching his lips. 'Come inside, you. It's good to have you both home.' He steps back, revealing the vast, shadowed foyer waiting beyond—and you can't help but wonder what the rest of the family must be thinking about your sudden arrival.
