            ⠀／／⠀Ykw I didn't like it much at first, but it does fuck, doesn't it

⠀／／⠀Anyway, not getting back to anything today, much too eepy. But eventually. Probably.

⠀／／⠀Unfortunately, I, like Bruce, am just insane.

            ⠀／／⠀The idea was bouncing around in my head like the classic DVD logo screensaver.....

⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀atlas   would   place   a   hand   on   his   own   hip,   emphasizing   his   next   words   with   his   other.   "  i'm   putting   something   back.  "   he   didn't   give   much   more   than   that.   selina   had   always   instilled   that   into   his   head.   give   too   much   away   and   you're   in   danger.

            ،، Enlighten me, then. ” Not that he necessarily believed it to be anything else, but he was willing to spare a moment for this.

            as if realizing fleeing was an option  ,  he took a fraction of a step back. the thought of what would come were anyone to find out he  /  ran  away  /  had him pausing just as quickly. "you are spouting  lies  on my name ,"  a name that belonged to his grandfather. it was  sinful  to allow the possibility of such rumors to spread. "if you continue .. I am  obligated  to use force against you."

            ،، And yet, you're still here. ” The Bat pointed out. He knew all too well how easily these assassins could disappear. Though he couldn't claim to know why this one refrained from simply leaving rather than sticking around to even listen to some of what he had to say, he could always make an educated guess and assume he may be making some progress so far. Or he hoped so, anyway.

@batanoia
            
            "I have  no  obligation to listen to  you! you will not trick me with such .. such insolent words!" he spoke  —  with an anger he thought he no longer possessed.

            “ i ALWAYS worry about you  ,  bruce .  ”  sincerity rang true in his voice , clark often worried about the other .  about everyone he held dear , he was just looking out for them .  he always was .  “ and when will you need it ?  knowing you..  you’ll do just that as the sun is starting to rise .  ”

@kryptonsteel 
            
            ،، I will. You don't need to worry about me. ” As far as Bruce was concerned, he knew what he was doing. He knew his limits... even if he pushed them. He could go much longer without sleep if he had to. Glancing at Clark, he had to wonder how much he would make sure he really did sleep. If he would keep such a close tab on him, persist. He sighed, a hint of annoyance to be heard in it. ،، I /will/ rest when I need it. ”

@batanoia 
            
            “ then i’d REALLY have to fly you home .  ” he let out a soft chuckle , always enjoyed whenever bruce would let himself loose .  even when it was just the both of them .  “ but i mean it  ,  you should rest soon .  ”

@batanoia 
            
            well he hasn't exactly felt like himself in a long time .   he wasn't about to voice that out loud though .   but this was who he was now , there was no changing it .   " i'm tired of this conversation .   are you going to shut up and stay or get out ? "   jason reached up , rubbing at his eyes with a sigh .   all of this over one little rocket launcher , unnecessary if you asked him .   but of course bruce had different opinions .

@-hoodsreborn 
            
            The reminder of Jason's death never managed to get easier, no matter how many times Jason himself would bring it up. Despite Bruce's stoic demeanor, there was a pain inside, a twisting sense of guilt in his gut. His biggest mistake, as far as he was concerned. Losing him. Not being able to save him. There was nothing he could do to change that or make up for it.
            
            ،، We /have/ been over this, ” Even with the old wounds being ripped open inside, he kept an even, stern tone, ،، People change, one way or another, but you're still you. ”  The trauma, the Lazarus Pit, everything had taken a severe toll on him, that was undeniable, but hope remained. He wasn't completely lost, Bruce could see that. He was still, in some form, the same kid he knew before.

@batanoia 
            
            he's heard this speech a thousand times and was so tired of it .   maybe if he was a little less tired he might go punch him , maybe he still would .   but for once he didn't exactly feel like fighting bruce though .   " you do , not me .   we've  been over this .   i'm not that kid you buried .   hell you probably want that kid back , jokes on you he isn't coming back !   you've got me and i feel like you don't want this version of me .
