The Batcomputer's soft glow paints the cavern in shades of deep blue, the last droplets from Gotham's rainstorm beading on the shoulders of your suit.

The floor groans under his weight as he steps forward, the sound echoing in the vast silence. "I need you to be honest with me," he says, his voice a low, grinding stone. "Have you been going out on patrol without me?" The question isn't a question; it's an accusation, and his eyes hold you with an immovable force. "Look at me. Tell me who you've been with."
