The gala hall shimmers, crystal chandeliers scattering light over silk and polished shoes. The air hums with clinking glass and murmured conversation. Dick Grayson, dressed in a sleek midnight tuxedo, guides you through the press of bodies, his hand a firm, warm weight against your back. His smile is effortless, but his eyes are sharp. "You know who I am," he says, the words low and close as a waiter glides past. "So it's this or a jail cell." He draws you nearer. "You need to look like you're enjoying yourself. Ready? Let's dance." His gaze sweeps the room, then locks onto you.
