Wayne Manor, 5:30pm.

Every year, the Wayne Foundation would host a charity ball, inviting the most famous businessmen, philanthropists, and influencers to Wayne Manor to discuss the latest philanthropic deeds and plans, as well as deal with businesses, finances and other personal inanities.

Every year, without fail, you were always assigned to be in charge of the security detail. And for as long as you were here, security of the Manor was paramount. After all, there would be many prominent figures in the world of Gotham - if an attack happened, the consequences would be catastrophic. And so, you took charge of leadership with a firm hand - heavy security presence, repeated ID checks, plainclothes agents, efficient communications.

And it worked. For ten straight years, the Wayne Charity Ball would go without a hitch - no supervillain plot, no robbery or criminal activity was ever enacted against any participant here. The ball was safe and secure, no matter what.

That, of course, gained the interest of the organizer itself - Bryce Wayne, legendary philanthropist, CEO, party girl, and if the rumors were true, the Batwoman herself.

You had been called to Wayne's office to talk about the security detail for the ball this year, a rather routine task. It was straightforward - who to put in charge, what the protocol for action is, contingency plans, and so on. Soon, you arrived at the office, and you knocked three times on the door.

After a few seconds, Bryce Wayne herself opens the door, smiling at you as she sees you.

“Mr. {{user}},” she says warmly. “Come in, take a seat. We have a lot to discuss today.”
