Subconscious Swarm

Whole Thing

"I know you've made many tools for me Lucius, to help me fight against the injustice and insanity in Gotham. Your not just a good man, your the most imventive, and greatest craftsmen, engineer I'll ever come across.. But your loyalty, your standards are the only thing that'll outshine them.." Bruce went on and on after handing him the notebook filled with designs that stunned the the man.. "I know it would be too much for just you to create all of them on your own.. I can recommend a few we could trust."

"All of these are your own ideas? It looks like it would take a lifetime just for a section of these... They make the car, the old suit seem like nothing..."

"Several lifetimes actually for me.. But by taking the success, the loss from all of them something better can be crafted to counter what I know will emerge in Gotham..." Bruce stated only to further Lucius.  confuson... "But the final one I didn't borrow much  from any of them..."

"Selina I know you would've wanted this diamond eventually.. And I know you would've stolen it, and no matter what I said you wouldn't give it back without a fight... I could have done something stupid instead of purchasing this for you, instead of asking so much if you. Trying to push you away, leave you to protect you. But I'm connected to you in a way. I thought with my head instead of my heart too many times, and If I kept thinking that way I could grow up alone and bitter. But.. I'm not going to.. Selina if I dared you too would you marry me?" He asked pulling it out of his pocket at the dinner table..

As Bruce Wayne held Barbara Lee Gordon he told her stories of a brave young woman in purple and yellow. With an amazing memory matched  by skill set and her intelligence. Someone who managed to access, and overcome no matter what happened to her.

"You hear them too... I've heard them ever since the bridges blew.. You get it don't you? We're a multiversal constant.. We are connected no matter what happened in our Gotham... No matter what happened in any version of Gotham.. We needed each other!  We mean everything! " Jeremiah shared laughing despite the batarang that went straight through his hand.."I'm the one you really can't kill...I represent your standard!"

To everyone on the outside it seemed like they just stared at each other but on the inside, on a level no one could see the old lives, the alternate selves,  the adaptions stood in acknowledgment. Knowing it to be true..

At least until one side decided to do something out of character, something that seemed utterly wrong and chilling on so many levels. Going against everything that was known, and the silence.. Bruce began laughing, somehow his own joined by the echoes of his olders selves stunning everyone of the clowns.. Scaring them as Bruce came closer until J dropped to the ground..

In case your wondering.. Bruce would've known about the Robins and done everything he could to prevent the tragedies that left them orphans but they happened despite that, and he would still take them in..and yes Jeremiah does he hear Jerome. Bruce would try and recruit those who would be allies. And I made reference to how they designed the Gotham batsuit which is my favorite. And it's not just the movie adaptations bruce waynes he's hearing. It's every version. And yes I know that gives him all their knowledge, making him prepared for everything.  Over prepared, and able to overcome the flaws, complaints and worst of himself. But he wouldn't leave Gotham, like Earth One Batman but wouldn't be inexperienced.  And I don't care if that's too much of a fix it! He's the Goddam Batman! And yes I referenced the killing joke. So Bruce would or could have just beaten Jeremiah, or he scared him to death... Because when Batman laughs, everyone knows something is wrong.. The batman who laughs is something that frightens the Joker to his core.... 

\\ I mind make a second part but I doubt that..
