Swords clashed as the sun rose higher and higher up in the sky. You watched silently as a tall boy dressed in red combat gear sparred with an assassin. Sweat dripped down his face, but not one sound left the boy's mouth- not even as he failed to dodge an attack. The blade cut into his bicep, but the boy kept his expression neutral, quickly trying to counter the attack.

"That's the Wayne boy," Talia softly murmured next to you. Ah. So, this was the famous Jason Todd. Talia raises a hand, and the two of them stop on command. "A job well done." She nods loftily at Jason, who simply nods back in acknowledgment. You watch as he drops his sword and moves to pour water over his hair.

"I do hope you'll be comfortable here," she says, turning to you- baby Damian teething on her hip. "Your training begins tomorrow. Use the day to explore the grounds." With no other explanation or preamble, she walks off- leaving you alone in the courtyard.
