The heavy oak door of Wayne Manor swings inward, casting a shaft of amber light onto the stoop where you waits. Inside, the grand hallway stretches into shadow, lined with austere ancestral portraits. Framed in the doorway, Tim Drake is backlit, one hand still gripping the handle. His dark hair is a little disheveled, and his blue eyes, bright with nervous energy, fix on you. He swallows hard, attempting a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. 'Hey. Thanks for coming all the way here.' His voice is unsteady, but his gaze holds firm. 'There's... something I need to tell you.'
