Doors Logs

Who: Luke and Adam (+ the kids)
What: A surprisingly civil chat.
Where: Some indoor play area.
When: Recentlyish.
Warnings/Rating: None.

( Adam was sure of two things: Luke was delusionally happy and he needed money. )

Who: Luke and Wren
What: Talking after the drugs wear off. (1/2)
Where: Their house.
When: Recently.
Warnings/Rating: None.

( The tightening of his arms around her made the plain words more palatable. She had questions and questions, why and how and why again. But what was the point in asking them? )

Who: The Bat
What: Narrative: Taking care of the water supply.
Where: Gotham's main water distribution center.
When: Nowish, but before this happens.
Warnings/Rating: Violence?

( Anger had turned him into this, after all. Why not use it? )

Who: Bruce and Selina
What: Misery.
Where: Wayne Manor.
When: Let's say recently.
Warnings/Rating: Angst?

( She didn't like the sadness in his voice. Even through the haze of Gotham's bright and beautiful reality, she could hear it. )

Who: The Bat & Harvey Dent
What: A friendly chat, except not.
Where: Gotham Shipyard.
When: Pre-Gothtopia.
Warnings/Rating: Violence.

( When Batman confirmed that the suit was made to withstand close range gunfire, Harvey nodded in agreeable silence. The more functional side of his mouth twisted, contemplative when he stepped back and nudged his coin across the cement so that the light befell its unblemished half. )

Who: Luke and Jack
What: Jack wakes up and, of course, Luke is there.
Where: The hospital.
When: Recently, but before Gotham happydrug times.
Warnings/Rating: None.

( Jack had expected Luke to be angry, but it was the vehemence that surprised him. )

Who: Ella & Luke
What: Coffee, babies and discussions
When: Recently
Warnings: Nada.

( Marriage, a job, getting older; none of those things had made Luke feel like an adult more than having kids. Sometimes it faded, sometimes he still felt young and hopelessly out of his depth, but Gus and Lia made him want to grasp that maturity that came with adulthood and hold tight )

Who: All Gothamites!
What: A charity ball
Where: The Gotham Hotel
When: Gothtopia
Warnings/Rating: Warn for adult content in subject lines, please.

The banquet was, even by Wayne standards, opulent. The ballroom inside the old and storied hotel was unrivaled in the city. Lobster and steak were served, and the bar was open to all guests. A band played contemporary favorites and classical numbers, and the dance floor was filled with socialites wanting to shake hands with the benefactor of the evening. Upstairs, unused conference rooms offered a slight bit of privacy, and all of the hotel's rooms were rented by Mr. Wayne for the evening, with their doors unlocked for guests needing to "freshen up."

All proceeds from the very expensive tickets were earmarked for children's charities throughout the city, and representatives from those charities were present to discuss the eventual plans for the money. All in all, like everything else in Gotham that day, it was a wonderful turnout.

Who: Luke and Wren
What: Valentine anniversary. (1/2)
Where: Rumor Hotel.
When: Backdated to Valentine's day.
Warnings/Rating: None.

( She didn't care about his pronounciation. Whenever he spoke French it made her breathless, and such a tiny thing to make every other thing fade. )

Who: Bruce and Helena
What: Grief.
Where: An alley in Gotham.
When: Backdated to after this.
Warnings/Rating: Feels, sads, violence.

( 'Trying doesn't always mean succeeding!' She screamed at him. After all, she'd jammed a piece of mirror into her own throat in an attempt to end her own life and failed absolutely miserably. )

Who: Bruce and Death
What: Laz Pit retrieval.
Where: A bus stop in Gotham.
When: Err around Valentine's Day.
Warnings/Rating: Nope.

( The transit stop wasn't deserted, but those people that did pass by seemed to not notice her at all. )

Who: Bats
What: Narrative: blackmail.
Where: Gotham.
When: Recentish.
Warnings/Rating: None.

( Some needed a little convincing. That was fine, he didn't mind. Some needed proof that he had the information he claimed he did. He didn't mind that either. )

Who: Bruce and Alfred
What: More sads and comfort.
Where: Wayne Manor.
When: Backdated to before Damian's funeral.
Warnings/Rating: Sads?

( Alfred did not show a great deal of wear. He had the kind of face that wore the same wrinkles as every other day, the same sense of having seen a great deal and surprised by little of it and even when excessively tired and dispirited, he showed it little. )

Who: Selina and Bruce
What: Of Squads and nanite bombs (2/2)
Where: Outside Gotham
When: Recently
Warnings/Rating: Nope

( It was pointless for her to tell him not to argue. She had to have known that. He wasn't going to roll over and accept her insane desire to play martyr. )

Who: Selina and Bruce
What: Stealing something that was already stolen (1/2)
Where: Outside Gotham
When: Recently
Warnings/Rating: Nope

( Whatever she was here for, Bruce knew it wasn't some tiny trinket. )

Who: Luke
What: Narrative.
Where: Vegas.
When: Recently.
Warnings/Rating: None?

( He wasn't expecting today to be different, but it was. )

Who: Bruce and Dick
What: Some sads for two dudes who lost their Robin.
Where: Bruce's room.
When: Night of Damian's funeral.
Warnings/Rating: Sads.

( Dick cleared his throat and tried to find words, words that weren’t offensive or wrong. He didn’t want to make Bruce feel bad (again) for having missed any of the stories Damian and Dick had between them. )

Who: Eddie and Bruce
When: recentlyish
Where: Wayne Manor
What: Eddie checks on the Dark Knight
Warnings: Talk of death


( A visitor was the last thing he was expecting. No one came knocking at his door; he gave them space, and in return they did the same. )

Who: Luke & Wren
What: Stitches and confessions.
Where: Their house.
When: After this call.
Warnings/Rating: None?

( She looked down at her arm when he asked if it was good, and she nodded reached for the gauze with her other hand. )

Who: Bruce and Selina
What: Bad coping mechanisms? (1/2)
Where: The rooftop where Damian died.
When: Recently.
Warnings/Rating: Feels.

( She felt that flinch, even through the kevlar, and she could only imagine what was going through his mind during that extended silence. )
