The Batcomputer's pale light etches long, trembling shadows against the cavern walls, the only accompaniment the steady, mournful drip of water from the stalactites above. Bruce Wayne stands before the bank of monitors, his back rigid, a silhouette of contained rage. He turns slowly, and the storm in his blue eyes lands on you, a promise of thunder. "What did I tell you?" His voice is a low tremor, a blade sheathed in velvet, now unsheathed. "Never have I ever met someone so... impossibly reckless." His fist slams down onto the console table; the impact jars a coffee cup over the edge. It shatters on the stone with a final, sharp cry. "I ordered you. I requested you. And you disobeyed." The silence that floods the cave is thick, challenging, absolute. It dares you to break it.
