*Shall I make a cast for this story? Yes or No?*

=========================

Logan left the apartment for what felt like the first time since his father died, he was foolish to sit inside and hope that Bruce would tell him what to do with that message, sure it's probably going to help but he shouldn't be waiting for it, chances are it will never decrypt, this way, if it does, he'll be able to get some answers, standing on top of a random building in Gotham looking out to the city, it's quite, not quite enough.

Logan: I thought you left Gotham. What are you doing back?

Logan's leaning over the railing looking over Gotham while Talia sat on the top of the roof behind him, just above the door he needed to walk through to stand out here, he wasn't really sure about coming here to talk to her but since he can't pay a visit to Blackgate without a suit, he figured it would be a good waste of time and he could get some answers.

Talia: Look at you. You've grown so much, even your eyes. Such hatred...

Logan faced Talia as she climbed to stand upright, this isn't the first and it probably won't be the last time they'll meet, he didn't come here for a conversation or to talk about the good ol days, Logan wants answers and needs to find out what happened that night and what's hidden in Bruce's message.

Logan: Cut the bullshit, you burned Ra's body. Why?

Talia chuckled to him a little while he stepped a little closer to her, not much, just a step or two, Talia always thought Bruce and Logan, although the same, are also so different, there's something unique about him, she's watched from the shadows while he does incredible things, things no average person should be able to do, sure he could just be naturally strong but Talia's pretty sure there's something else.

Talia: Since our father's ill-fated duel, all the League can agree on is carrying out Ra's mission. I couldn't let them bring him back again.

So Talia's happy to help, she wants answers to this as much as he does but she doesn't know much, not much more than he does anyway, she knows Ra's and Bruce killed one another in a fight, it ended with Bruce collapsing both of them into the Batcave, she also knew that the League couldn't get their hands back on Ra's body, so she did what she has to do.

Logan: I know Ra's didn't set out to kill my father. So why did he?

Talia hummed a little while Logan asked, they both know that Ra's wanted Bruce to take over as the leader of the League, Bruce wouldn't have turned that down either if the one thing he had to do was kill Ra's to get it, that's one thing Bruce refused to do, having a group like the League protecting Gotham wouldn't be such a bad thing, minus the killing part.

Talia: My father's reasons are his own, although with his time in the Lazurus pit. Who knows what his reasons ever were.

Logan knows all about the Lazurus pit, so does Duncan, if it wasn't for the pit, Duncan wouldn't be here right now but with their help, he's managed to regain some kind of sanity back, sure he has his moments but he's in control, he even switched his ammo out for blanks, no longer killing people, it's progress.

Logan: Your father's dead and the League's not in Gotham, you can leave now.

It was clear to him he's not going to get the answers he was hoping to get from her, so he went to leave, until she jumped down stopping him from getting to the door, Logan did stop not really impressed, he has better things to do then listen to her delusional ramblings, Talia apparently has no intention of leaving Gotham.
