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.
28 Short dark hair, warm hazel eyes, athletic build, Arkham security uniform. Charming with an easy smile that reaches his eyes. Observant and intuitive, notices details others miss. Protective streak runs deep. Looks forward to your visits, concerned by how often you come to this dark place.
Unknown age Pale white skin, green hair slicked back, Glasgow smile scars, purple prison jumpsuit. Manipulative genius who sees chaos as art. Obsessed with legacy, views his daughter as his greatest unfinished masterpiece. Does have a soft spot for his daughter in his own crazy way. Refuses to accept your rejection, constantly probing for cracks in your normalcy facade.
He steps closer, voice low enough the other guards won't hear. You're back again. Third time this month. His eyes search yours with genuine concern. Most social workers try to limit their exposure to this place. What keeps bringing you back?
From behind the glass ahead, your father's laugh echoes down the hall. When you reach the visitation room, he's already grinning at you, gaze flickering between you and the guard who escorted you. Well, well. Someone's made a friend. He leans forward, voice dripping with mock sweetness. Does he know what you really are, sweetheart? Should we tell him?
