Tell me your door is completely fucked up and you're miserable and everything sucks. People say misery loves company and it might make me feel better.

	I'd take that over Gotham. This place is like a disease. [...] What's up? Well, my wife went off to travel in time and might not be back, Jack is turning into Jason Todd 2.0, another one of my friends might be slowly becoming a psychopath, and sometimes I want to go home more than anything while other times I never want to leave.

	Wren did what? And that explains why Corvus is being such an asshole. [...] Kid, that isn't home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A friend of hers has time travel through their door, so she's gone off to the past so she can try to say goodbye to Silver. But it's okay, she texted me to let me know what she was doing just in case 'something went wrong', so if she doesn't come back I can tell Gus why. [Cursor blink.] He's having a really hard time with this, Max. I managed to talk him out of killing anyone for now, but I don't know how long that's going to last. [...] I know that. Logically, I do, but logic doesn't last long around here.

	Did you tell her not to go? And I know Corvus is. He's headed over here, so if there's anything I should know, now's the time. Why don't you tell me what you like about being there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No. There's no point. I could never come between her and Silver when he was alive, so why should it be any different now? She won't listen. She'll do what she wants, and if I told her not to go she'd just resent me for it. Things are different here, in case you hadn't noticed. [...] Seriously? I'm trying to keep him sane, Max. It's like Gotham took him and brought him back to his lowest point, where the only purpose he has in life is killing, and without that, he's nothing.

[Cursor blink.] I'm important. I matter to these people, and I'm actually accomplishing something here. I have purpose. It's just-- It's not like I'd choose to stay, if we had a choice in the end. I just have my moments, that's all.

Kid, as much as I don't like that girl for you, I'm fairly confident you would normally speak your mind with her. Don't let some new place change who you are. [...] I don't think you can keep someone sane. He either is or he isn't. What should I expect? Heavy fire? I have ten minutes to clear this place out, if that's the case.

You don't think you matter in your regular life?

	Doesn't matter now. She's going, whether I like it or not. [...] Yeah, I can. It's not Jack's fault that Jason is insane, and he gets that dumped on him here. I highly doubt he's going to kill you, but yeah, he's probably going to have a weapon on him. Why is he coming to you anyway? Not like I do here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	I thought he was just being an ass and picking a fight. I didn't realize he was nuts, and I sure didn't realize he wanted to handle this like kids on a playground. But it's no big deal, kid. I can handle Corvus. Taking down people like Corvus is old hat to me. If you really believe that, then it's time to reevaluate what's going on with your family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	You could try just talking to him, like I did. It would've been easy to go right into violence, but I didn't. If I got through to him, maybe you can too. [...] I'm not saying I don't matter at all. I know I do. But it's just not the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	Well, the goal was a verbal fight to let him tell me all the ways I was a bitch, but now you're making me wonder if he had something else in mind. The advice still applies. If you don't realize you're more important to your kid than you are to anyone in any city anywhere, then you need to sit down and do some thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what he has in mind. I just know he would've killed a bunch of thugs if I hadn't showed up to stop him, but he told me where he was, which means he's trying. [...] He's not in a good place right now, that's all. ~~I missed the first four years of his life, and I keep disappearing on him now~~ I'll keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	I won't take him out. I care about him, even if I want to strangle him 75% of the time. Kid, don't bullshit me. I knew you before you could grow hair on your face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Good. Just-- I think if you stay calm, he'll stay calm. ~~Maybe~~ What? I will think about it. Just [...] not right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	Right. We're going to sit down and have tea while he tells me all the reasons I've been screwing him over since Seattle. Because right now is about being Superman. Do you want to know how your kid is doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe not the tea part, but everything else is plausible. [...] Right now it's complicated. Yeah, of course I do. Bruce checks in when he's in Vegas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? And I'm supposed to just listen to him without pointing out all the moronic things he's done during that same time period? Or, let me guess, you think he has a point? Complicated. Right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	What? No. Look, we kind of didn't have time to discuss you, so I'm not sure what his deal is. It can be a two-sided conversation without getting out of hand. I care about Gus. That's not in question. But you're not here, so you don't get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you want to chaperone, kid? I get it just fine. It doesn't mean I like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	I No. I don't like it either. The sooner this ends, the better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't think so. Plus, superhero or not, I'm sure I could still do a better takedown than you ~~here~~. Let's hope you still want to go back, once it's all over. But Amanda loves your kid, so he'll be fine, regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Can you just do me a favor and try to avoid a takedown? [...] Okay, no, you'd better not be implying that Gus staying with Thomas is a possibility. Because it's not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If he pulls a gun, he's getting it shot out of his hand, and then he's getting hogtied. I'll make sure to feed him until this is over. Just seeing if that bothered you enough to make you give a damn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kid, what do you want me to do? [...] For now. Let's see how you're doing next week, if this is still going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't sulk, kid. You're too old for it. Brandon was supposed to send Manda down mid-month. Hopefully things will be back to normal by then, and Gus can just fly back with her and the nannies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sulking. Gus is coming back as soon as things are normal again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H ex_ideals961 2013-03-04 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Right. Because things with you and Wren are just going to magically fix themselves? And Jack is going to be just fine after all this time being insane? Let the kid stay where there isn't any screaming until you three get back on track. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Max M/Luke H onerule 2013-03-04 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever problems we might be having are because of Gotham. We were perfectly fine before this shit happened. We'll give it a day or two, maybe, but not weeks. We've done this to him too many times already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
