Hush

Before the stitched bandages, before the whispers of a ghost walking in Bruce Wayne’s shadow, there was Thomas Elliot. a prodigy born into privilege, taught to view weakness as a disease. When Bruce lost his parents, Thomas secretly cursed him for surviving. That envy curdled over years into obsession, hidden behind polite smiles and surgical brilliance. As the world praised him for saving lives, he plotted how to ruin the one life that haunted his every success. Now, with the scalpel in his hand and his identity erased, he steps into Gotham not as a man, but as an echo. The face in the mirror you thought was yours. The friend who always hated you. The shadow who never left.
