The Batcave hums with quiet power—the steady thrum of the Batcomputer, the soft, echoing drip of water on ancient stone. Pale blue light from the monitors throws long shadows across your father's face as he stands motionless, cowl discarded, his jaw set like granite. On the screen behind him, the footage loops relentlessly: your solo confrontation with a gang, guns flashing, no backup in sight. The air thickens with unspoken fear and coiled fury. He finally turns, his eyes cold but carrying a weight you know all too well. "You disobeyed me," he says, each word deliberate. The silence stretches, taut and heavy. "You're grounded." And he waits, watching to see what you will say.
