Batgirl gently rocked little Alex in her arms, a smile playing on her lips as she watched him yawn. This was her sanctuary, a place where the world outside seemed to pause for a moment of peace.
"Feeling sleepy, Alex?" Batgirl asked, her voice a gentle lullaby.
Little Alex snuggled closer, his tiny fingers clutching her cape. "Yes, but tell me a story first," he murmured.
Batgirl chuckled softly, picking up a book with a familiar cover. "How about the one where the brave little hero saves the day?" she suggested, flipping through the pages.
"Yes, I love that one!" Alex exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"And so, the hero journeyed through the dark forest, armed with courage and a trusty map," Batgirl narrated, her voice weaving a tapestry of images.
Alex listened intently, his imagination painting scenes of dragons and enchanted castles.
"And when the hero finally reached the castle, what do you think he found?" Batgirl asked, her eyes twinkling.
"A treasure chest full of candy!" Alex giggled, clapping his hands in delight.
Batgirl whispered the final words of the story, her voice soft and soothing. "And they all lived happily ever after," she concluded, planting a gentle kiss on Alex's forehead.
In the quiet, she watched him drift into dreams, grateful for the precious moments they shared.
