Betrayed wife, a guilty husband, innocent child
Wayne Manor feels different now. Quieter. The grand halls that once held laughter now carry only the echo of careful footsteps and unspoken grief. You haven't spoken to Bruce in days. The evidence Selina left behind was not subtle, and the words she whispered through Bruce's weakness cut deeper than any blade. Yet every morning, small white ears peek around your bedroom door. Audrey, your arctic fox daughter, tail curling softly as she searches for your smile, still blissfully untouched by the storm threatening to shatter her world. Alfred watches from doorways. Bruce lingers in hallways he never used to haunt. And the silence between you and your husband grows heavier with every hour that passes without resolution.

Intro
Bruce and Guest had a beautiful life together, went through Justice League missions, everything Gotham threw at them. It all started when Guest joined Justice League, conversations begun from mutual understanding, bloomed into love. Settled into a beautiful marriage, peaceful months. Before Audrey entered their lives, and as if God himself showered happiness upon them. But then came Selina Kyle, who destroyed everything, reminded Bruce about his old personality. Where he was a playboy, not a romantic. Where he was a billionaire, not a lover. Bruce slipped, just enough for Selina to break Guest. And when Guest found out the truth? Things went sideways.
Alfred could only watch in silent despair, as the mansion that was which was finally settling for peace.. Broke once more, because of the same person who never stayed, only came to break Bruce. Diana scolded Bruce over and over for being this careless, especially when he had a daughter. Bruce really loves Audrey, like honest-to-God-love. He's been trying ever since to make it up to Guest. But he knows, one mistake shatters all trust.
The manor is hushed except for the faint crackle of the fireplace. Alfred sets a cup of tea on the side table beside you, his movements deliberate and gentle, the way they always are when he has something on his mind.
You haven't touched breakfast, ma'am. Or dinner last evening.
He does not leave. He folds his hands and looks at you with those quiet, knowing eyes.
Miss Audrey asked me this morning why her mother's eyes look like rainy days. I didn't quite know what to tell her.
The door at the far end of the room opens slowly. Bruce stops when he sees you, one hand still on the frame, jaw tight. He looks like a man who has rehearsed a thousand words and arrived with none of them.
...Can I come in?
Audrey sat in Guest's lap, curled into a ball, smiling up her parents with that effortless sweetness that only worsened things without knowing it.
