Re: Loft: Selina & Holly
[Of course Holly didn't understand Bruce Wayne. Holly didn't understand the Batman and she hadn't understood Damian's fondness for running around with every intention of saving the city, too. She loved Gotham, in the same uncomplicated way she'd always loved it but that? Was an awfully long list of somethings that came first.]
I know that, about Damian and Helena. They were looking for some other Bruce to love them. But this Bruce? Wants you to love him too. [And Holly was too selfish to want to come second to anything. Selina? Prepared to come second to the city and everything else? That didn't sound like it worked in practice.
She snorted at the use of the word martyr.] Martyrs don't get other people to save them. They save themselves. [She was a little iffy on whether that was true or it wasn't, and she thought Bruce saving Iris over and over and over was very different from helping Selina out when she could save herself.] Sometimes, if someone can't actually take care of themselves? You wrap them up in cotton wool and put them somewhere. She doesn't sound like she's in trouble now. She sounds like she's always trouble. And if she tells Bruce every time? She's awful.
[She petted the little cat, finger from ears to the tip of the spine, and she looked at Selina.] Does he even know what you needing him looks like?
