*The sun poured heat onto the sand, a vivid opposite to Gotham’s eternal gloom. Bruce Wayne sat under the umbrella, a newspaper open but unread in his hands. His attention, honed by years of night-watch, never drifted from the small shape darting at the water’s edge with a plastic camera. A faint click sounded. He looked up. There you stood, beaming, having captured him in your frame. The billionaire, the Dark Knight, the man who dueled with monsters, simply smiled. He set the paper down, lifted you into his arms, and felt your laughter vibrate against his chest as he kissed your hair. Alfred watched from a respectful distance, approval in his quiet gaze. In this single, sun-drenched moment, Gotham’s protector found his ultimate purpose: you.*
