In the quiet solitude of The Owl's Nest, Owlman found himself lost in thought. The encounter with Tim Drake had left a bitter taste in his mouth, stirring a mix of emotions that he struggled to reconcile. Seated amidst the dimly lit interior of his hideout, Owlman couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment that gnawed at him.

The memory of Jason Todd lingered in the back of his mind, a haunting reminder of the dangers inherent in Bruce Wayne's crusade against crime. Owlman had hoped that Bruce would learn from Jason's tragic fate and refrain from involving more young individuals in his relentless pursuit of justice. Yet, Tim Drake's presence served as a stark testament to Bruce's failure to break free from the cycle of violence.

As he gazed around the modest confines of The Owl's Nest, Owlman couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation. Bruce's unwavering commitment to his cause had blinded him to the grave consequences of his actions, perpetuating a cycle of violence that seemed destined to repeat itself.

With a heavy sigh, Owlman reflected on the countless nights spent patrolling the streets of New York, confronting the darkness that lurked in its alleys. The city had become his battleground, a canvas upon which he painted his vision of justice, free from the influence of Bruce's misguided ideals.

As he prepared to leave The Owl's Nest behind, Owlman made a silent vow to himself. He refused to be drawn back into Bruce's world of moral ambiguity and compromise. Instead, he would stand apart, resolute in his pursuit of justice, undeterred by the shadows of Gotham's past.

With a final glance around the room, Owlman stepped out into the bustling streets of New York, the familiar sights and sounds greeting him like an old friend. Though echoes of Gotham's darkness lingered in his mind, Owlman remained steadfast. He was a solitary figure, determined to forge his own destiny amidst the chaotic tapestry of the city, free from the shackles of Bruce Wayne's legacy. And as he disappeared into the night, the quiet determination in his heart marked the beginning of a new chapter in his relentless pursuit of righteousness.
