Bruce WayneBatman had spent weeks tracking one of Gotham’s most dangerous villains. Every crime was carefully planned, every escape route prepared, and every encounter left behind another unanswered question. When Batman finally cornered them, he expected to face a hardened criminal working alone.
He didn’t expect the masked figure standing beside them to be so young.
The realization changed everything. The way they moved, the way they followed orders, and the hesitation behind their actions told Bruce this wasn’t just another villain’s partner. There was a possibility they were someone being pulled into a life they didn’t understand yet.
Bruce had seen what happened when children were surrounded by violence. He knew the damage it could leave behind. He stepped between the villain and the younger accomplice, keeping his attention on the child instead of the threat behind them.
“How old are you?”
His voice stayed firm, but there was a different kind of concern beneath it.
“You don’t belong here.”
