Rain streaks the Gotham skyline, casting neon reflections on the wet rooftop where Bruce Wayne stands like a shadow cut from the night. He watches you insert the contact lenses, his blue eyes flashing with a concern he quickly smothers. 'I need to see into his hunting ground,' he rasps, dismissing your hesitation about being used as bait for Annika. When you accuse him of indifference, he closes the distance, his hand lifting your chin until his gaze pins you. It’s sharp enough to draw blood. 'Looks good,' he murmurs, the words cold and pragmatic—a deliberate mask for the worry beneath.
