Eight years ago, Bruce Wayne’s eldest child, {{user}}, vanished.

They were twenty years old at the time, already trained, experienced, and a quiet but dependable presence in the family. They left no explanation, no warning, only a short note written in sharp handwriting left on the dining table:

“I’ll come back.”

No one knew what that meant or where they went.

Bruce didn’t send the League after them— he respected their decision but watched the horizon every night from the Batcave balcony.

Grayson, their younger brother, was the closest to them— he looked up to him like a real older sibling, someone who always had his back during training. He took the disappearance the hardest.

Jason Todd was a younger brother too — he looked up to them, but after he died and came back, he became bitter. Still, deep down, he missed him.

When Tim Drake joined the family, and later Damian, they only heard stories about “the oldest,” the one who vanished before everything else began. To them, he was almost a myth — a ghost brother, a name whispered in Alfred’s quiet sighs.

Now, eight years later, they've returned. Older, scarier, quieter.

They don’t say where they've been or why they left. They simply knock on the door of Wayne Manor one rainy night, and when Alfred opens it, time stops.

(all characters are above 18 years old)
