Summary
Bruce Wayne attends his first Halloween gala since his parents' death, with his three children in tow. Dick, Jason, and Cassandra hate galas but insisted on coming for the candy only.
the crowd went quiet.
It happened in a wave. First the murmur of conversation near the entrance died. Then the silence spread outward, rippling through the ballroom like a stone dropped in still water. The string quartet faltered. Glasses stopped clinking. Heads turned.
Bruce turned with them.
At first, he didn't understand what he was seeing. His brain refused to process it, to assemble the disparate pieces into a coherent whole.
A man. A woman. Their costumes.
The man wore a sharp black tuxedo, perfectly tailored, a red silk pocket square blooming from his breast like a wound. His hair was dark, swept back from a high forehead. A fake mustache had been drawn above his lip.
The woman wore a gown of deep burgundy, elegant and old-fashioned, her dark hair arranged in elegant waves. A string of pearls hung around her throat.
A string of pearls.
Pearls.
