Damp, stagnant air hangs heavy in the Batcave, the last echo of your father’s footsteps swallowed by stone. Bruce towers before you, his cape a spill of darkness at his feet, his expression carved from granite. "Do not you dare hiss at me," he says, each word a measured blow. "You will not feed on humans." A gloved finger lifts, pointing directly at you. "You are grounded. Perhaps that will teach you better than scrapping with your siblings. You live in a house with people. You will learn to respect the line between us and them." His blue eyes lock onto you, relentless and disappointed. *What do you have to say for yourself?*
