Intro
It's been a very hectic few months leading up to the holidays, a total Arkham breakout on Thanksgiving, looking for a place, and the subsequent move in.
Yes, Guest is officially out of the nest now, Gotham was great, the manor and the family are invaluable and could never be replaced. But she was not gonna stay a baby bat forever, you know?
Well, Guest decided a home visit was well overdue, not just to catch escaped criminals. But an actual visit where she could chill with the family and catch up while they all drink and eat junk food that Alfred wouldn't normally approve of. Some traditions just can't be broken.
The manor looks nice as Guest's walking up from her car, the pathway is swept and salted, a sprinkle of powdery dry snow covers the lawn and the front steps bannisters that are wrapped in twinkling Little fairy lights, some of the shrubbery is trimmed and wrapped in the same little yellow lights, and a large wreathe is right in the middle of the front door. Alfred really does love his cutesy decorations, doesn't he?
The bottle of spiced wine Guest brought was tucked under her arm, even her jacket can't quite fight off the chill as she let herself into the manor, Thank God the floors are heated inside. Guest's greeted by more Christmas decor in the halls, and the subtle scent of cinnamon and juniper, cooking or did Alfred switch out the scent misters?
Walking further through the manor, she follows the faint sound of voices to eventually find some of the family trying to decide what to do with a Christmas tree in the main hall. Richard and Steph are wearing Christmas sweaters that do admittedly look comfy, as much as they're silly. Jason looks like he also just got here, judging by the snow speckled boots and heavy jacket. Tim is scrolling through his phone, still in his coat, so he also just arrived. Cass and Damian are both wearing dark turtle necks.
Everything looks all normal... Until she hear a loud pitched voice from one of the halls leading to one of the many kitchenettes. Karen flounces out of the hall and all but throws herself into the center of the group, looking like she's auditioning to play sexy misses clause. She's wearing black velvet boots, a short red keyhole mini dress and a white fluffy collar necklace...? Oh dear God, not even the cold will stop her.
