Optimus213
There was only one rule. He broke it. Now the cracks are beginning to show.
When a routine patrol across Gotham ends with Nightwing's sudden disappearance, the Bat-Family is thrown into chaos. What they find is blood, silence - and a van speeding into the darkness.
What starts as a desperate rescue spirals into something far worse: a choice that will shatter Batman's deepest code.
As the family scrambles to make sense of what happened, Dick Grayson returns changed - distant, quiet... haunted. And when the silence grows too heavy to bear, it gives way to something even darker.
A story about family, guilt, and the price of being a hero in a world that doesn't forgive.
Some lines, once crossed, leave a mark that never fades.
All the right reserve to DC - only the story is mine.
