I don't need this.

I don't want this, and it won't work. You don't understand a single thing about me if you think it even might. I'm not like them. I chose this. I don't need to be fixed. I don't need therapy. I don't need this.

Send me as her Warden if you have to make me anything. I'm not one of your damaged victims. I'm the one who protects the people like them. If you can't grasp that fundamental fact we're going nowhere.

[What? no. no they just got you back.]

You do good.

You're good.

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

If I protect Gotham it's enough.

I planned for being incarcerated. But not like this.

[savedbatman]

I'll write a letter.

I'll write-I'll say something. It wasn't you. it wasn't even Harvey he had his chance there and he got out. He's saved in some universe, somewhere.

...What did you do wrong?

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Nothing. I did what I had to.

[It's reflexive. Defensive. But he knows better, doesn't he?

There's just no way out, not like this. It's never going to leave him.]

Apparently the list is too long to go over.

[He just doesn't want to talk about it.]

I trust you, Commissioner. Keep Gotham safe.

You'll have help soon.

[snaketrap]

Bit redundant there, don't you think?

[savedbatman]

[And his face falls because it was either him or Miss Kyle and Miss Kyle won out and..]

...Apparently my daughter..

One of my daughters..

A daughter of mine is there.

Keep an eye out for her?

[ichoosefight]

I'm not saying you need therapy, and I'm totally not saying you don't... but the barge is totally not the place to get it.

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Eloquence isn't my strong suit.

[snaketrap]

One can tell. What is your strong suit, oh flawless one?

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

[The children. He heard about them. He eyes this one up speculatively and then with a disapproving frown. What kind of psychopath enlists someone this young?]

I agree.

[Pause. A long one.]

What's your name?

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

[And how can Bruce say no? After everything. (A man puts a jacket around an eight year old boy and the world isn't over.) He doesn't soften, but he nods.]

You know I will.

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Apparently, 'misplaced self-sacrifice'. So I'm told.

[Repeatedly, by everyone he knows.]

[ichoosefight]

[ The kind who wasn't given a choice in the matter, thankyouverymuch. ]

Stephanie Brown.

Actually we could use some real therapists. I know an inmate who could really use the help.

Cats do what they want.

[imnotsure]

Please hit him.

Hit him hard. I don't think he gets the message. If anything "Not being a rich tool" is something he could be redeemed for. but.

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

[He should have strapped her to a chair, okay. Unacceptable.]

I understand you had Dr. Crane.

[HA. HA. BRUCE TELLS THE BEST JOKES.] But he's happy to talk about anything but this.

I could look into persuading this woman to replace me with one. I'm sure she could come up with something.

dammit cat get off of my keyboard! oh wait

[ichoosefight]

Well, since you asked so nicely... It's not like it would be the first time.

[ichoosefight]

[ No, that's been tried before. Didn't work. ]

He's still here, actually.

Has she got anyone with experience in PTSD?

Steals your lunch, your toys, and your keyboard.

[imnotsure]

Be honest. Do bats do well on the barge?

that's what my pals here say. [There's a hint of accent on the word pals] Bats on the barge. They go together well.

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

[In a tower, though?

Dear Bruce: consider what on Earth would have stopped you from becoming a vigiloh right you're the only one who can destroy your own life.]

Not yet.

But she could always do a little more research. [A bat pause.] I don't trust Crane's rehabilitation. Stay away from him.

What the fuck, you guys, HE CAN SEE YOU ;_;

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

You both know I'm right here.

[innocent face]

[imnotsure]

Do you like listening in on girl talk?

oh, he has your number, lady

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Encouraging random assault isn't 'girl talk,.

young lady

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Don't.

[/innocent faiiiise]

[imnotsure]

Yes Officer.

you are just terrible today

[pulvisetumbrasumus]

Don't call me that.
