It's too early to call his motive. I wasn't expecting things to go this way but trust me, I'll take care of it.

Which means whatever you're thinking, I'm not game. Cobblepot aside nobody else is going to be following up on these cases so that still falls to me.

[ And it's not like he can count on anyone else to help him. ]

I'm not going anywhere until I figure it out.

[Bruce sighs quietly.]

The Gordon I knew was the only good, honest cop in Gotham. He showed me kindness when I needed it, when I was at my lowest, and he gave me the strength I needed. [To become a symbol of hope Gotham needed.]

Yeah, it makes a difference. Just don't lose all hope in this corrupt city.

If it came to that... [ He trails off. If it came to that maybe he would leave, instead of succumbing to the sickness he sees in everyone else. But he can't leave, just like he can't break his promise to Bruce. That boy deserves better. He deserves justice.

Gordon shakes his head. ]

Just keep swimming.

[mrplayboybunny]

[Bruce smiles a little at that.]

Yeah.

You made a difference to him. To that kid.


To me. You've done that for Gotham, too.

[saintjames]

I hope I live up to it.

[ He shifts his weight, hands on his hips. It's one thing to be told he can make a difference, another entirely... this. ]

If I get out of this, at least.

[ A gesture at the multiverse as a whole. Yeah good luck with that Gordon. ]
