[Locked to Bruce W, Dick G, Stephanie B, Jason T, &... Selina K]
[After this. So amused.]

A man named Flash wants me to tell you, Todd, your girlfriend is going to go after your daughter. Or Dick's daughter. Hels. In the Silent Hill door. If no one else does.

	I can't answer any of those questions, Stephanie. I don't know. But apparently Selina's assumed I have a secret child. [Reluctant cursor blink.] What if she is in trouble, and won't tell us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh yeah, because that's something you'd really do.

She's a grown woman, Bruce. I know she's your daughter, but maybe we need to start trusting each other to make decisions, whether they're good or bad, because us forcing people into decisions themselves? Hasn't worked out too well for us, has it? You trusted me when I went into a door with 65 million year old carnivorous creatures.

	[...] Selina and I aren't exactly on the best terms at present. [Cursor blink, blink, blink.] I know I did. But you were with Selina, and this door [...] it isn't full of dinosaurs. It sounds like one long, endless nightmare. [...] I can't just leave her there. Do we just wait for her to get herself out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clearly. Rogue shit? I'd say ask Eddie, but I don't know how much that would help anymore. Silent Hill? [Blink.] If it's that horrendous, no one should be going in there, Bruce. Do you think we should all go trouncing in there and get just as fucked up? [A pause.] That girl, Gwen? She's back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-28 03:08 am UTC (link)
	I don't think it'll help anymore. [...] I think it's a number of things. It's been different since I got back. No, I don't think we should all go in. All of us don't need to go in. But if she can't get out, if she gets into trouble, someone has to. I've faced my nightmares before. I can do it again. [Paaaaause.] It seems more complicated than that.

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-28 03:10 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] Well, you've been different since you got back. You aren't going in there alone, Bruce Wayne. [Blink.] Complicated how? No wonder Jason's been a mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lengthy cursor blink.] I can't deny that. There's no reason to bring more people into this, Stephanie. And you're not coming. [...] I think you should ask him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-28 03:15 am UTC (link)
	It's not your fault, but it's also not hers that it's difficult. That's a joke, Bruce. You can't tell me that you're waltzing into some door that some nightmare fuel and expect me to just sit on my hands? [Blink. Sigh.] Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-28 03:27 am UTC (link)
	[Sigh.] I know. I'll talk to Helena first. But if it comes to that, Stephanie, you can't go in there with me. Please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-28 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Why not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-28 05:24 am UTC (link)
	Because you don't need to be in a place like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-28 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	Well, then, I guess you don't trust me anymore either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-28 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Of course I trust you. It's not about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-28 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	You're letting Damian go with you. I bet Jason is going too. So what is it? My depression? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not letting anyone go with me. [...] I understand that I can't make those kinds of decisions for you, and if you, Jason, Damian, want to come, I need to respect your decision and trust your capabilities. But I will always want to protect you if I can, regardless of how capable you might be.

And yes, Stephanie, that makes me worry even more. [...] With any luck, none of us will need to go anywhere. Helena says she'll be out by morning.

	[She's still upset, but she lets it sit for a moment. Cursor blinks. Clearly still wary and upset.] Then we need to trust her. We give her the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-29 04:04 am UTC (link)
	[...] I know. It's hard, but I know. [Cursor blink.] I don't want you to ever think that I don't trust you. You're one of the few people I do, implicitly. Worrying about you doesn't mean there's a lack of trust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. theblondebat 2015-07-29 04:57 am UTC (link)
	It's frustrating. I get that. [Pause.] I'm just [...] I don't know, I'm feeling like Gotham doesn't have a place for me anymore. [...] I'm just being sensitive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/bruce. onerule 2015-07-31 02:21 am UTC (link)
	[...] You have every right to feel whatever it is you're feeling. Once Helena is safe, we'll talk about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
