Ra's is in custody. I know we're all busy with clean up, but a long-term solution is needed. A normal prison is out of the question.

Selina?

[locked to steve r.]

Ra's Al Ghul has been apprehended. Water and power are back on. You can let your people know.

	Space is our backup plan. But, admittedly, I'm hoping Hades works out instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm angry, too, even though there's no logical reason for it. We kicked his ass. Very few people had to die. The city is stronger than ever. [...] My wife can't have kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. On paper, it's a victory. But [...] it doesn't feel that way. [Pause.] I know 'I'm sorry' doesn't mean anything, but I am. You two don't deserve that. [...] Is it part of what you're angry about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He told me the destruction of Gotham wasn't the point. What do you think was?

It means something to me, it does. [...] I'm angry about that. I'm angry Ra's made her think I was dead. I'm angry we got taken over so easily. [...] Yesterday I almost left Stephanie. I couldn't take it anymore. She's a bat, at her heart, so when she feels guilty for something she clams up and I don't know what to do.

	[Cursor blink.] He said he wasn't interested in ruling Gotham. That he didn't want it to be permanent. [...] I don't know. He's good at getting under our skin. Too good. [...] You said you almost left her. What made you stay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If he wanted to prove you couldn't be Batman again, he failed at that, too.

She had been trying to protect me from how she's feeling about the baby. It took threatening to leave and being a jackass to get her to tell me how she actually feels. Which? Isn't good. She feels guilty about the baby she had as a teenager, she hates that she can't be open with me and she thinks somehow that she's not good enough for me.

I love her. I think the sun shines out of her ass. I just needed her to be honest with me.

[...] That's the strange thing. He said he was doing me a favor, that he would bring my children back together and give me an opportunity to fix what had gone wrong. It almost feels like all of this was [...] a test.

As someone who spent a very long time convinced that I wasn't good enough, I can say that it isn't an easy thing to overcome. But I know that being on the other end can be frustrating, too. Do you think it helped at all, talking about how she feels?

[...] I hate to say it, but you're going to have to push. Sometimes it takes time.

That could be it. He might be trying to show you that he's still your teacher. I guess no matter what the motivation, he failed miserably.

I hope so. I don't think it's going to fix the fact that we can't have a family or that she feels shame about her first kid. But, as long as she lets me be there for her, that's all that matters to me.

[Blink. Smile.] Good love advice from you? I didn't think it would come to this, Dark Knight.

	You're right. He failed. It could have been worse, but it wasn't. [Blink, blink.] It should feel better than this, shouldn't it? There are some things she needs to come to terms with herself. But being there for her, her letting you in, will help. Supporting each other is important. I know. I can barely believe it myself. (Reply to this) (Parent)
