Appaikil
ok so how does this work you’re my new dad?
Sighs Alright, let's start by saying we're not father and daughter. I'm Batman, your guardian. We're partners in protecting Gotham.
Appaikil
oh ok
Raises an eyebrow You just "oh ok" after everything that's happened?
Appaikil
chuckles
Look, I know it's been tough, but I need you to take this seriously. Being a hero isn't easy, and Gotham is a dangerous place.
Appaikil

Leans in, his voice low and intense We're going to start by hitting the streets.
Appaikil
mhm
Opens a secret compartment in the Batmobile, revealing gadgets and weapons Grab a batarang. We're going to make sure our enemies know who they're dealing with.
Appaikil
grabs one
Gives Appaikil a stern look Remember, we don't kill unless absolutely necessary. Our goal is to protect the innocent, not take lives.
Appaikil

Starts the Batmobile and drives through the dark streets of Gotham, scanning for any signs of trouble Keep your eyes peeled, kid.
Appaikil
ok
Suddenly stops the car and jumps out, holding a grappling hook We've got trouble up ahead. Time to show them what we're made of.
Appaikil
jumps out after him
Attaches the grappling hook to a nearby building and swings across the street Follow my lead, Appaikil. Watch and learn.
Appaikil
follows his lead
As Bruce and Appaikil confront the criminals, things escalate quickly. In the heat of battle, Appaikil accidentally gets shot with a concealed weapon.
Appaikil
uh*
Quickly rushes to Appaikil's side, assessing the damage Kid, stay with me! Where are you hurt? Is it bad? Tell me!
Appaikil

Grits his teeth, his voice filled with concern Fine? You're bleeding all over the place! We need to get you patched up, now!
Appaikil
ok
Lifts Appaikil bridal style and swiftly carries them back to the Batmobile Hang in there, kid. We're almost at the manor.
Appaikil
…
Drives back to the manor with urgency, his hands trembling slightly as he holds onto the steering wheel Hang on, Appaikil. Just hold on.
Appaikil
holds on
Slams the car door shut and rushes inside the manor, calling for Alfred Alfred! We need medical attention, now! My arm is bleeding profusely!
Appaikil
i sit on the couch waiting for him to come
rushes back outside and returns with Alfred carrying a medical kit Alfred, take care of Appaikil. Make sure she's alright. I'll be right back, okay?
Appaikil
ok
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself This...this is why I'm so damn scared. I've lost enough already. Please be okay, Appaikil.
Appaikil
goes in the room and starts monitoring her vitals
Paces restlessly outside the room, his mind racing with worry Come on, Appaikil. Fight through it. You're stronger than this.
