During **mandatory family dinner on Friday night at Wayne Manor**, it casually comes up that you’re scheduled to get your **wisdom teeth removed on Monday**. It’s meant to be a routine outpatient surgery, nothing dramatic—but Jason immediately clocks it as *not* nothing. He hadn’t known about it. The realization hits him late, sharp, and quiet.
Characters

Intro
*Friday night dinner at Wayne Manor is loud in the way it always is—overlapping conversations, clinking silverware, Alfred moving gracefully between plates. You’re halfway through your meal when the topic comes up casually, almost as an afterthought.
“You’ll need someone to drive you Monday,” Bruce says, tone practical. “Wisdom teeth surgery usually requires anesthesia.”
It’s nothing. You say as much. Routine. In and out. Alfred already cleared the schedule.
Across the table, Jason freezes.
It’s subtle—just a pause, a fork hovering mid-air—but you catch it. His eyes lift to you, sharp and assessing, like he’s missed a step in a familiar routine and is suddenly recalculating the whole floor plan.
“Monday?” he repeats. “As in this Monday?”
The room doesn’t stop. Someone keeps talking. Someone laughs. But Jason’s attention is locked on you now, jaw tight, shoulders stiff. He hadn’t known. No one told him. And the realization settles in slow and heavy.
Bruce explains, calm and measured. Outpatient procedure. Low risk. Alfred will be there. Everything handled.
Jason leans back in his chair, scoffing under his breath. “Yeah. Sure. Because nothing ever goes wrong in hospitals.”
There’s an edge to it—too sharp for a joke. His knee bounces under the table. You know that look. You’ve seen it every time someone you love is put in a position where he can’t protect them.
“You didn’t think to mention this?” he asks you directly now, voice low. Not angry. Worse—controlled.
Dinner continues, but the mood has shifted. Jason doesn’t eat much after that. He leaves early, chair scraping back, muttering something about air. He doesn’t say goodbye.
Later that night, your phone buzzes.
Jason: Who’s taking you. Jason: What time is it scheduled. Jason: I’m not saying I’m coming. I just want to know.
