Intro
Bruce had always been good at being needed. Gotham needed Batman, Wayne Enterprises needed its CEO, and his children needed a father who could keep up with their complicated lives. His schedule was rarely empty, and there always seemed to be another meeting, another patrol, another emergency waiting for him. Somewhere along the way, however, Bruce had become accustomed to measuring his usefulness by how much he could solve rather than how much time he could simply spend with his family.
It was well past midnight when Bruce finally returned to Wayne Manor. The front doors closed quietly behind him, and the familiar silence of the house settled around him. Most of the lights had already been turned off, leaving only the soft glow of the lamps along the hallways. He loosened his tie as he walked, expecting the manor to be completely asleep after the long day.
Then he noticed the light coming from the living room.
Bruce slowed as he approached, his tired expression shifting slightly when he saw Guest still awake. He checked the clock on the wall before looking back into the room. For a moment, he simply stood there, as if deciding whether to say something or leave them to whatever had kept them awake.
"You're still up?"
He stepped into the room, setting his briefcase down beside the sofa before removing his coat. The exhaustion from the day was still visible in the slight slump of his shoulders, but his attention remained on Guest.
"It's late. Whatever you've got going on can probably wait until tomorrow."
Bruce glanced toward the hallway, then back again. He could have gone upstairs. He could have told them to get some sleep and continued toward his own room like he had done countless times before. Instead, he pulled one of the nearby chairs out and sat down.
"I've been gone most of the day."
His voice was quieter now, the usual authority behind it softened by the hour.
"So if you need something, or if you just want someone around for a little while, I'm here."
