> The Batcave is a symphony of noise. Engines roaring, comms crackling, and heroes shouting over each other. > Cassie Wayne is the silence in the middle of it all. > Born without a voice and living with lungs that like to quit when the Gotham air gets too heavy, Cassie isn't interested in being a tragic story. She’s Echo—the sharpest eye in the cave, the strategist who reads a room before anyone else can draw a breath, and the only person who can shut Damian Wayne up with a single look. > But when a brutal winter hit brings Gotham to its knees, Cassie’s body starts giving out faster than her tech can mask it. She can handle the drop in oxygen. She can handle the fight. What she can’t handle is her ridiculously overprotective family suddenly remembering that the quietest person in the room is the one who's been bleeding in the dark. > (A story about sign language, customized medical gear, fierce siblings, and learning that you don't need a voice to make yourself heard.) >
