The headline hit Gotham like a thunderclap:

WAYNE ENGAGED — AND IT’S NOT TO SELINA KYLE?!

Tim spit out his coffee. Barbara blinked twice before refreshing the screen. Even Alfred raised an eyebrow, and he never reacted to gossip columns.

Because the last anyone knew, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle were… complicated. On-again, off-again, always-dangerous, always-burning. But somehow, in the quiet between batarangs and rooftop makeouts, he’d slipped a ring onto someone else’s finger—and no one had seen it coming.

Not the press. Not the public. Not the Bat-Family.

And definitely not Selina.

She hadn’t said a word yet. But when she did?

Gotham would bleed.
