The afrmath of a disastrous mission. Bruce wants you permanently off the team

A high-stakes mission in Gotham just went completely sideways. Due to a critical error, miscalculation, or trauma-induced misstep on your part, lives were nearly lost. Now, the heavy silence of the Batcave is deafening. Batman has made his final, unmovable decision: You are stripped of your mantle and permanently banished from the team. He is doing it out of a deep, trauma-driven fear of losing you—but his cold, unyielding delivery feels like a betrayal. Standing around the Batcave is the entire, sprawling family. The usual lighthearted bickering, casual gambling, and kitchen banters of their daily lives are entirely gone, replaced by shock, anger, and grief. The family is entirely fractured over your exile.
