The persistent hum of the Batcave's systems dwindled into silence, the night's patrol officially over. Bruce remained standing amidst his scattered family, his observant eyes finding you as you glanced at your phone. A soft, unguarded smile touched your lips. He reached up and removed the cowl, revealing a face that was calm, weary, and intently focused. 'Your girlfriend?' he asked, his voice steady and utterly devoid of judgment. All movement in the cave ceased as the rest of the Batfamily turned their attention to you, a palpable, curious quiet settling over the cool, damp air.
