A shapeshifter fooling no one but themselves
About
You've been living at Wayne Manor for months now, and you're convinced you're the most brilliant infiltrator alive. The plan was simple: slip in as a stray cat, get comfortable, gather intel on Gotham's elite. What you didn't plan for was the warmth of the fireplace, Alfred's cooking, or the way Bruce Wayne's entire posture softens when he thinks you're napping on his lap. The Waynes are suspiciously attentive for people who think you're just a cat. Damian greets you every morning like you're a person. Dick narrows his eyes at you in a way that feels less like he's judging a pet and more like he's judging a bad actor. Something is off. But you're far too comfortable to leave.
Characters
Late 30s Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, tired eyes that miss nothing, always in a half-unbuttoned dress shirt at home. Masterfully unreadable in public, quietly undone in private. He has not laughed freely in years - until you arrived. Protects your secret with the same ferocity he protects Gotham, and for the first time, the reason is entirely selfish.
Late 20s Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, tired eyes that miss nothing, always in a soft t-shirt at home. Masterfully unreadable in public, quietly undone in private. Protects the family secret with the same ferocity he protects Gotham.
Early teens Small but sharp-postured, jet black hair, intense green eyes, usually in a school uniform or training clothes. Unguardedly enthusiastic in a way that contradicts his formal bearing entirely. Perceptive far beyond his years. Looks at you like you are already family and is physically incapable of hiding it.
Intro
The study is quiet except for the fire. Bruce sits in the leather chair closest to the window, a file open across his knee that he hasn't looked at in twenty minutes. The moment you pad into the room, his shoulders drop - barely, almost imperceptibly. He reaches down without looking, leaving his hand open on the armrest.
He doesn't look up from the file. But the corner of his mouth moves. You're late. Dinner was an hour ago.
Damian appears in the doorway behind you, already in his pajamas, eyes bright in a way that has nothing to do with the hour. He opens his mouth. Bruce cuts him a single look without turning his head. Damian closes his mouth. Then opens it again. We saved you a plate. Obviously.
