I'm as much for progress as anyone, but retirement doesn't agree with me.

Why not? Don't you feel like you've earned all those wild parties at retirement villas?

[bratzhena]

If it doesn't. Stab it continuously and mercilessly with a knife, until it agrees with you

[callit]

Bruce Wayne, retiring? Somebody check hell because it might have frozen over.

[overkill]

Nobody likes a wallflower.

[overkill]

I'll keep that in mind.

[overkill]

You aren't congenially poking fun at the fact that my rich kid ass has never had a real job, are you?

Except maybe Stephen Chbosky.

[overkill]

I think he just liked writing about weird teenagers.

[starcrossed_hawk]

Yeah. Can't really picture you sitting still, Bruce.

Kind of sounds like your life story. Without the billions cushioning everything, obviously.

[overkill]

I guess not.

You know me?

[overkill]

My life story sounds like writing about weird teenagers?

[starcrossed_hawk]

Long boring story that involves a multiverse.

[overkill]

Oh, one of those.

Completely boring, I know.

[starcrossed_hawk]

Shayera.

[overkill]

Well.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, Shayera.

[starcrossed_hawk]

That's what friends are for. Even cross-multiversal ones, I guess.

[overkill]

You must be patient.

[starcrossed_hawk]

Not especially. But you haven't given me much of a reason to clobber you yet.

[overkill]

'Yet'.

Optimistic.

[starcrossed_hawk]

We can't all be Clark.

But that's probably another multiversal confusion best left alone.

[overkill]

.. Yeah, I seem to be much more social elsewhere.

[starcrossed_hawk]

Maybe. But if it makes you feel better, you're every bit as stoic and prickly in my home court.

[overkill]

Hey, I'm not prickly. I'm just quiet.

[ ... Keep telling yourself that, Bruce. ]

[starcrossed_hawk]

Bruce. You're a cactus.
