Inheritance ~ Bruce Wayne (1)

Cassie Montclair was raised to protect the family name, not to question what it was built on; her father had carefully curated her and her brother's lives to ensure it. When Gotham's systemic rot becomes exposed by a sadistic serial killer, the Riddler, her family's name starts to burn.

Bruce Wayne had always kept her at arm's length, even though they had known each other their entire lives. He had spent years overwhelmed in grief by his parents' murders, and only two things gave him purpose anymore: the Batman and the woman he wasn't allowed to have.

As they try to find the Riddler and the rat in a drug bust case, the truth burns hotter than either of them can survive, only making clear one truth: in Gotham, secrets never stay buried.

Based on The Batman (2022) and the Bruce in that story.
