"It's not that." She pulled the foil up to place the burger on the bed, snatching a curly fry from the container and popping it in her mouth. "He wants us to be happy. I think he wants to come, baby, I do." She took a sip of her soda before pushing all of it to the side and sliding forward a little. A noise rumbled from the back of her throat, something sad and worried. "Selina said-- I didn't know he died before." Her mouth dipped down into a frown, blues sharp with concern for the Dark Knight. "She made it sound like- like he still wanted that. I didn't know. I didn't know it was that bad." She buried her eyes behind her hand, pressing the tips of her fingers into her eyelids.
"I think it does make him happy." Stephanie lowered her hand and rested it on Eddie's thigh while she glanced away to that little blinking Riddler trophy that would now keep her company at night. "He told me he loved me. That I'm like a daughter to him. After I told him that he's been a better father to me than anyone I can remember. I think it does make him happy. He's just...lost." She looked back at Eddie, lips pursed and eyes a little watery. "I think it'll make him happy. That and the baby." She smiled, then was quick to correct. "Dick and Babs are having a baby."
