    Summary

    Dick clutched the lantern, which was over half the size of his torso, to his chest. Every flicker of the tiny flame inside painted the walls with warm, beckoning light, and Dick's feet followed the shadows down the hallway. The ceiling, when he dared to glance up, loomed above him. There weren't gargoyles in the building itself, except in a few halls and ballrooms—ballrooms, for crying out loud!—but there were paintings. Large, regal paintings, made with oil and painted with such intricacy that their eyes followed his every step. All of the faces were ghostly, their clothes pristine, their lips curled in smiles that twisted into sneers in the lamplight. One pair of pale blue eyes were wide, as if afraid. Intruder, they seemed to say without words. Imposter.

    Something isn't right with Gotham, with Wayne Manor, and with one Bruce Wayne. Dick Grayson, two months fresh from the loss of his parents and in desperate need of a home he can trust, is determined to find out what.
