Re: Jake R/Jack C: Gotham city quick-log
[Jack kept one eye on the woman as well, but she was stopped now, not coming any closer. That was a good sign. If she was violent, or if the wish that had brought her here had gone really, terribly wrong, she would have kept advancing when her son slowed down. He still wondered how real she was, how cognizant she could actually be. Jake would be able to judge that much better than he ever could.]
You don't have to. [He put a hand on his shoulder.] But your other option is to run from her forever, and to not stay anywhere because she's still following behind. And nobody should have to live like that. Even if that isn't really her, I doubt she'd want that for you.
