Bruce Wayne was many things to the world-billionaire, philanthropist, enigma-but in the shadows, he was the quiet leader of the greatest underground criminal network the world had ever known.
At home, however, he was something much simpler: a father. His four sons-grown, married, and scattered into lives of their own-no longer needed him the way they once had. Their wives, women he'd come to love like daughters, had formed their own tight-knit circles.
Recently, all four couples had escaped Gotham for well-earned vacations. Dick and Chanel were off reliving their second honeymoon. Jason and Isis had followed suit, with Isis, of course, unable to leave the children behind. Tim and Lyric were halfway across the world. Damian and Samaira, freshly married, had launched straight into their own honeymoon bliss. Even Duke had been dispatched on a mission in Russia.
And for the first time in nearly twenty years, Wayne Manor was silent.
So, in a moment of what could only be described as Bruce Wayne's brand of madness-a mix of irrational impulse and perfect logic-he created the Wayne Scholarship. A program for one "lucky" student who would earn not just a place at Gotham Academy, but more than a year-long stay in Wayne Manor itself.
Whether that student would see it as luck... was another story entirely.
Had it not been for Alfred's timely interference, Bruce would have simply gone ahead and adopted.
Now what's going to happen when Athena Blackwell enters this new world? Or is it all another familiar game?
