Hell no.

I have a city to take care of. I have classes to teach. I have...people relying on me.

That's still a strange feeling. But I like it, and I don't want to give it up just so you can toss me somewhere else.

You really don't want to fight me on this.

Why?

I'm Batman.

You should know the answer, Dick. You were there.
batmanschmatman: (You don't have to worry about me.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Tell it to me again.

There's not much to tell. You and Batman number one drop by, we argue for a bit, and he decides he can live with me keeping the symbol. Then he drags me to the family reunion, and we're all given our marching orders.

Then No Man's Land is over, and I'm free to choose whatever I want.

[her voice softens, then, as her hand rises to brush the symbol at her chest] And I chose this.
batmanschmatman: (Bruce is cray cray.)

Oh. [Well, that's not how he remembers it. :U]

[personal profile] nomansbat 2012-03-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[her brow furrows as she peers at him] Did you hit your head or - [oh. wait.] - or you don't remember because it didn't happen for you.
batmanschmatman: (Yeah I'm just gonna go.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't happen for me. You're still the Huntress.

Oh. [she's silent, for a moment] No Man's Land?
batmanschmatman: (Are you sure?)

It was a while ago, everything's more or less back to normal now in Gotham. Or, as normal as it ever gets, anyway.

So I just...went back. [the thought makes her feel strangely brittle]

...What about Stephanie?
batmanschmatman: (I can lineface too.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
... She died. About a year and a half ago.
nomansbat: (Despondant)

[personal profile] nomansbat 2012-03-09 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
...No. [her hands curl until they tremble as her head falls]

No.
batmanschmatman: (Comfort.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Dick is maybe going to be cautiously trying to put a hand on her shoulder. :c] I'm sorry, Helena.

[she jerks back instinctively, but she forces herself to relax, to accept the comfort as she looks up at him]

What happened? What happened to her, Dick?

[she hates that her voice sounds so small]
batmanschmatman: (Unsure.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs, but keeps his hand there, because physical comfort is just how he rolls.]

There was a gang war. She [Started it.] got caught in the middle and was tortured by Black Mask. She didn't make it.
nomansbat: (Now You Listen)

[the growl is harsh and immediate] I'll kill him. [but then her eyes widen, and she bows her head again] ...No. I - dammit.
batmanschmatman: (It's too late to apologize.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2012-03-09 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it won't happen, where you're from. Especially if she's got you looking out for her.
nomansbat: (Determined)

[personal profile] nomansbat 2012-03-09 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[she looks up again, grimly determined] It won't.

[after a moment, softly] Thanks for telling me.
