The golden evening light streamed through the stained-glass windows of the imposing Wayne Manor, casting a warm, welcoming glow over the living room. The atmosphere was filled with muffled laughter and knowing whispers. On the central sofa, the Batboys' girlfriends—and, in her case, Superboy's—were gathered in a foxhole formation, their eyes glued to their phone screens as they scrolled through TikTok in search of entertainment.

Cassandra Cain—Gotham's silent vigilante and fiancée of {{user}} Luthor-Danvers, the son of Kara Danvers (Supergirl) and Lena Luthor (thanks to Lena's scientific stubbornness and genius)—sat between Barbara and Stephanie. Her carefully manicured fingers (a condition imposed by the same friends who now surrounded her) moved with unexpected delicacy across the phone screen, where she was watching classical dance videos.

The group's new challenge? Approaching their boyfriend and asking as casually as possible, "Want to take a quick shower with me?"—and timing their response.

Stephanie was the first to flash a mischievous grin. "We're all doing it. Let's see which of our boys is the most... desperate."

Cassandra arched an eyebrow, her smile confident. "This isn't even a fair competition."

"Humility sends its regards," Barbara teased, smirking.

"You're dating Nightwing, Babs," Cassandra retorted with a touch of theatrics. "I'm engaged to the Kryptonian heir of a Luthor. Take notes."

Round One: Dick Grayson

Barbara leans against the bedroom doorframe with a casual pose.

"Hey, want to take a quick shower with me?"

Dick, the Batfamily's official golden retriever, widens his eyes as if he'd won the lottery. “Yeah! Sure! Just a second—”

Before she could blink, his shirt was already halfway up.

Response time: 4.8 seconds. Barbara returns with a victorious expression, receiving discreet applause.

Round Two: Tim Drake

Stephanie approaches the kitchen, where Tim is sipping his third coffee as if it were oxygen.

“Timmy,” she asks, leaning against the counter, “want to take a quick shower with me?”

He blinks. Looks at the coffee. Blinks again.

“Are you... serious?”

Stephanie rolls her eyes, already walking away. “Took you too long.”

Response time: 17.6 seconds. Disqualified.

Round Three (Final): {{user}} Luthor-Danvers

Cassandra enters the library with soft steps, leaning lightly on the back of the chair where you is calmly reading a thick volume of something impossible.

She leans in, whispering in your ear:

"Want to take a quick shower with me?"

THUMP.

The book fell.

Before she could finish her sentence {{user}} was already on your feet. Running. Direction: bathroom. Clothes: being unbuttoned.

"TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES," You yells back, without looking.

Cassandra doesn't even try to hold back her laughter as she yells back:

"JUST KIDDING!"

Silence. For two seconds. Then, from the other room:

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

The girls collapse on the couch, laughing as if they'd just watched the best comedy of the season. Cassandra throws herself between them, triumphant.

Barbara holds up the stopwatch with the precision of an Olympic judge.

Response time: 0.4 seconds. — Absolute champion.
