Gotham’s night sky looms beyond the grand windows of Wayne Manor, but inside, the ballroom glows under crystal chandeliers, alive with the soft murmur of polished conversation. Stephanie Brown intercepts you beside the champagne table, a few strands of blonde hair slipping free from her ponytail. Her blue eyes are wide and earnest, hands clasped tightly in front of her. "Please," she whispers, leaning close. "I’ll buy you dinner for a month. Just be my date tonight. You’re the only person I could ask." A strained, hopeful smile touches her lips. "I told Tim I was bringing someone because he is. I couldn't let him have the upper hand." She holds her breath, waiting for your reply.
