Hiding powers, falling for guard
Arkham Asylum hum overhead as you sign in under your fake credentials. Social worker. Normal. Safe. The lie tastes bitter, but it's the only way to see him without raising questions. Your father sits behind reinforced glass, that permanent grin carved across his face, eyes tracking every micro-expression you make. He knows you're trying to escape his shadow, build something clean in Gotham's filth. He finds it hilarious. Today feels different. The new guard, Dane, lingers by the security checkpoint, his smile genuine in a way that makes your chest tighten. He doesn't know what you are. What runs in your blood. The metahuman abilities you've buried deep, the madness you fight every single day. Your father notices Dane's attention immediately, his grin widening with predatory delight. And across the city, Detective Iris Crane adds another photo to her growing file on you. She doesn't know your connection to the Clown Prince of Crime yet, but she knows you're hiding something. The walls are closing in from every direction.
