When: Nowish, after this
Warnings/Rating: A little drugging.
Bruce knew it was a trap.
That was the point, after all. Ra's was luring him out with the promise of Damian's body to catch him off guard but oh, he would be ready. He would be prepared. Maybe a small, small part of him was going to get his son's body back (to make up for his failure, look son, I got you back) but a larger part knew this might be his only chance to stop whatever Ra's was preparing before it began. Otherwise, they would have to wait, to react, struggling to keep up while Ra's gloated as he always did.
He had to stop it. He had to try.
The others were in Marvel, and maybe he should tell them but it would be time wasted, time he couldn't afford to waste. And if he didn't come alone, Ra's would know. He'd know and he'd be gone, vanished, the chance to catch him slipping through their fingers like water. He had to act and he had to act now; the only precaution he did take was to leave a note for Selina. Oh, he didn't say where he was going, but it was something. And if it went wrong... he could only hope they'd be smart enough not to come looking.
But he didn't think about what ifs. He focused on the task at hand, at being ready for whatever Ra's might throw at him. And if he could get Damian's body back in the process of taking the madman down once and for all, well, it would be a bonus. The address led him to--what else--a condemned building, empty upon first glance but there were sounds, movement, once he got inside. Squatters, which made things trickier; in the dark it would be harder to tell who was harmless and who was not. Ra's was skilled, of that there was no doubt, as were his men.
Quiet. He came in from above and made his way down, level by level. There was no need to call out; he was certain Ra's would find him.
