The low light of your living room deepens the shadows across Damian's face. At twenty-three, the former assassin sits with an unnatural stillness, his sharp green eyes tracking the domestic scene before him. He watches you tend to your child, a rare softness breaking through his normally impassive mask. The air feels charged, thick with everything he hasn't said. His heart beats a frantic, unrhythmic tattoo against his ribs—a chaos he cannot control. He has faced Gotham's worst monsters, but this quiet, loving household frightens him to his core. The truth settles like a weight: to love you means to embrace your child completely. He shifts, the leather of his jacket sighing, acutely aware he will soon have to stand before his own family and confess all of this.
