Ah, very good mundane. I see you've decided to place your allegiances to the side more appreciative of your voice. It's an amusing devise that you've accomplished here, one I hope will shine light on the darker corners our dear Gotham is so intent on hiding.

There is always power to be found in the citizens' hands, after all.

Sure it isn't.

[ People who take revolutions upon themselves generally have an inflated sense of what they themselves are meant to accomplish. Or at least, he thinks so. ]

And the Bat?

[ if a man could express a smile...]

Broken.

[ The mask hides it, but he smiles, sharp and humorless. ]

I doubt that.

Oh, I assure you. His spine made quite the echo.

If that's how you define 'broken', you don't understand nearly as much as you claim.

Let us not be presumptuous on definitions. He is in a place where it is impossible to rise above.

[ With no small amount of irony: ]

He makes a habit of defying the odds.

Spoken from experience, I wager.

I am not worried about the appearance of the Bat. Only one has escaped the Pit, and only one there will be.

We've crossed paths before.

[ And fought, quite viciously. Though he'll never agree with Bruce or the code he follows, he can at least respect a man who sticks to his ideals. ]

I wouldn't count on it.

Oversight, on someone's part I'm sure.

Forgive me, if I do not apply your opinion to a situation where you are uninformed.

[ A light smirk. ]

Not always.

[ As for that other comment, well -- he shrugs. ]

Suit yourself.

And what is the nature of a man, I wonder, who keeps company with the Bat?

Not a friend.

[ He's armored and armed to the teeth with weapons that kill. Assassins don't get on well with people who refuse to kill and try to interfere. ]

Though certainly not an enemy.

The Bat clan would tell you something different.

Clan, you say? An interesting prospect for the man who forsook his brothers.

In your time, maybe.

In mine, he's adopted quite an entourage.

Ah yes, the mundane has spoken of such parallels before. Intriguing, to say the least.

And explanatory of the one claiming to be the Bat's progeny.

There's a handful of those running around -- adopted like I said.

Does the term 'Justice League' mean anything to you?

A facet to the man that I will make note of.

[ Justice...League. he chuckles ]

I belong to a League of an entirely different nature. Justice is far too abstract for my liking.

And the Demon's Head?

[ Ra's Al Ghul. A twist if there ever was one. ]

I take it there aren't many people running around in brightly colored spandex where you're from.

...Retired.

[ a chuckle ]

Only if they wish to be shot faster for their visibility.

Talia?

[ His response is dry. ]

A startling difference already.

[ that name gives Bane pause. His first reaction is to kill this man for knowing, but as such actions are prohibited in this place...]

Perhaps a formal introduction is in order.

[ You'd have a difficult time of it, Bane. ~~Especially since he's immortal, but details.~~ ]

Deathstroke.

[ Yes, really. ]

You?
