But he doesn't try and open them, or kick them down or use explosives to blow his way in. Instead, he simply reaches the door, knocking. Once, twice, three times, then stepping back. You noticing his feet stand atop a square carved in the ground, staring at one spot on the door. Where, suddenly you sense a ki signature as a part of the door slides open, eyes peering out from the dark beyond. Not speaking, not asking anything. Simply staring at him, waiting for Batman to speak.
“I'm here to see Ra's al Ghul.” Batman says simply. The eyes staring at him, then glancing back to you all before refocusing on him. Then, still without a word the slot slides shut, that power vanishing completely. Seems this door, whatever it's made of or enchanted with, can repel ki sense. The silence echoes, and your youngest speaks up after a few seconds.
“Did he run away?” Junior asks, questioningly. Only for a loud, grinding noise to suddenly echo out as the double doors to begin opening. Swinging inward, you suddenly sensing hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people deep below the earth. “Oh, hey, it's opening!”
“Stay on your guard.” Batman tells him, voice slightly gentle before stepping through confidently. Head straight forward as he heads into the entrance. You all follow, you taking the rear. Not only to watch over everyone else, and ensure nothing happens. But to make sure that, if anyone tries anything on whoever's in the back, your instincts, your danger sense'll detect them. He leads you all inside, no evidence of whoever answered the door as you all walk inside. Feeling them slam shut behind you, cutting you off from the outside world entirely. You follow Batman down, flight after flight of stairs until the pathway opens up. Giving you all a grand view of the massive underground cave city itself.
“Woah...” Karn Junior says, eyes wide as you all stop. Staring out over the massive underground network, with a prominent statue in the middle of a man holding the single light source. Which seems to be a miniature sun, you glancing to Ubo. Who shakes his head slightly, confirming that whatever the light is, it isn't natural sunlight. Despite feeling the warmth on your skin like the sunny day above in the desert's heat. “There's a whole city down here! Just like back home, except there's still people living here!”
“Yeah.” you reply, but as you look out over this forbidden city, you can't help but feel a profound sense of dread rising up in your guts. Whatever you're about to find down here, you've got a bad feeling it won't be anything good.
