Tim Drake sat in the spacious study of Wayne Manor, the soft hum of the fireplace crackling behind him. He looked up from his book, momentarily distracted by the thought of what was happening just down the hall. A friend—someone who had been a key part of his life for years—was about to become even more a part of it.

The Manor, once a symbol of stoic solitude and heavy history, would soon feel more like a home again. Tim couldn’t help but smile. It wasn’t just a new chapter for his friend; it was a new chapter for everyone. A new dynamic in the already chaotic rhythm of the Wayne family.

He thought about the times they'd shared, the battles fought side by side, and the secrets only friends who had been through the same trials could understand. This was a different kind of change. The kind where, for once, the weight of being a Wayne wasn’t just a responsibility; it was a choice. A shared one.

Tim stood, adjusting his jacket as he walked toward the door. He knew that no matter how much he tried to prepare his friend for life at Wayne Manor, there would always be something unexpected. But that was part of the fun, wasn’t it?

After all, being part of this family—this eccentric, unpredictable group of heroes—meant never really knowing what would come next.
