"well, y'know, since da boys're all busy .. thought i could help y'out." she's donned in her typical ratcatcher gear, stands before the bat to keep him from stepping into the batmobile without her. he can't seen it beneath her mask, but there's an upturning of her lips. "not y'er sidekick, 'doe. 'm better 'den dat. 'm somet'in' else. i dunno'. we'll work on it. c'mon."

the batman and the ratcatcher, side by side, fighting the rogue villains of gotham. not exactly the vision he had in mind, especially since they’ve been keeping up apparences with their cat and mouse game. ( or would it be the bat and rat game? ) the man grunts and shakes his head in opposition for what the woman he loves is suggesting. " no, odette, i don’t think we will be working on it. " bruce places gloved hands on his wife’s shoulders and gently moves her out of the way. " i’m not doubting your ability, but, " he doesn’t know how to say this without sounding like he is doubting her. she’s been one of his best rivals, now the love of his life, and putting her into a situation that isn’t staged? " honey, it’s okay. i’ll be okay. "

" thank you for stopping by to see me. " -> @leagueraised

his son’s formality never ceases to bring an amused smile to his face. " you did send alfred to come and get me. i forgot, who’s the head of the house again? " a teasing comment which he hopes is met with the same energy. bruce steps into the bedroom and takes a seat on the edge of damian’s bed, takes comfort in seeing how boyish and childlike the decor of the room is. as much as dami would like to prove himself in the field, all bruce longs for, for his son, is that he get a chance to be a kid. " what is it that you’d like to discuss, son? "

[agcraphobic]

you don't have to handle all of this by yourself, you know. -> @prodigalmd

her words are enough to send a chill down the man’s spine. or maybe that was frank’s hands working at the knots and new bruises that painted his scarred back. bruce winces, his body losing all tension, when frank works a spot in the crook of his neck. he can sense the pull-away instantly and it causes bruce to turn around to take his lover’s hands in his own, a reassuring yet tired smile crossing his face. " why else do you think i have robin? " ( like that will ease frank’s nerves at all.. )

bruce leans in placing a kiss to the spot between frank’s eyebrows. " i’m okay, froggie. "

ok im gonna do the rest of these tomorrow when i have the house to myself and can rewatch the batman in my living room >:3

[agcraphobic]

is this thoughtful silence, or worried silence? -> @imperiouslex

fingers tighten themselves into a fist at his side. it's taking everything in him not to grab hold of the other man's collar and suspend him in the air by it. he has no reason to be here, and yet there's a protective fire burning within his chest. clark or the rest of the league do not know he is currently standing before lex luthor, given the lie that he had to attend some wayne enterprise business out of the country when, in fact, bruce was exchanging venomous looks with lex.

the masked man lets out a grunt to fill this silence lex was so curious about. " contemplating whether or not to humiliate you by dangling you from your own building. " the batman replies, the hint of a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. " but you currently sit on such a high horse, it's only a matter of time before you slip off. "

[agcraphobic]

i can tell when you're lying to me, pretending everything's okay when it's not. -> @adflorum ( talia )

frown deepens. bruce rolls his shoulders back as if trying to shake off the woman's pointed gaze but to no avail. this is the last thing i need. " please. talia, love, i'd rather not discuss this right now. " he debates whether or not to put his mask back on, to hide behind it like he always does, but instead he grabs hold of his cape and tugs it tighter around himself. a safety net. " why can't our reunions ever be peaceful? why must we bring trials and tribulations into it? is the peace really that troublesome to you? "

PROMPTS FOR CATCHING UP AND CHECKING IN *  assorted dialogue for pauses in the action when you need to check to see if they're okay, adjust as necessary

are you holding up all right?

thought i should stop by, see if you were okay.

you know, you haven't spoken in a minute.

you're starting to worry me.

is this thoughtful silence, or worried silence?

can i get you anything?

i'm perfectly all right.

sometimes i think about what will happen if we fail, and it terrifes me.

you can stop worrying about me now.

you had a moment back there.

what was all that yelling about?

i've worried about you since day one.

can we sit down?

you might feel better if you talk to me about it.

i was hoping we could catch up.

there's a lot more going on than i expected.

it's starting to get to me.

tell me the truth. are you all right?

i'm not a hero. i don't know why i'm doing this.

i can tell when you're lying to me, pretending everything's okay when it's not.

you're a horrible liar.

what was that all about?

i heard you yelling.

it sounded like an argument to me.

what's on your mind?

something's clearly bothering you.

can you just sit still?

you've never been honest with me.

they said you needed to talk to me?

i can tell when you're lying. i can see it in your face.

i know you better than you know yourself.

spill. everything.

that's not what it looked like from here.

i don't want to talk to anyone.

can you leave me alone for a while?

thanks but no thanks.

is this your way of checking on me?

who put you up to this?

if you'd just been honest with me from the start, we wouldn't be here.

when they said you were out here, i thought i'd stop by, see how you were doing.

you don't have to handle all of this by yourself, you know.

there are people who really care about you, who want to see you succeed.

think about the people who love you.

i don't like seeing you struggle this way.

i could use a shoulder to cry on right about now.

i just feel so lost.

everything is riding on me, and i'm not used to that.

there's too much responsibility on my shoulders right now.

thanks for letting me vent a little.

i didn't mean to word vomit.

you make it easy.

i feel like i can trust you.

no one understands me but you.

thank you for giving me a chance to speak.

thank you for stopping by to see me.

you should come by more often.

the battle's not over.

we still have work to do.

i trust you'll be ready for the final battle?

tomorrow's a big day. you should get some rest.

if you need anything, you know where to find me.

it will feel better if you just come right out and say it.

no one should ever carry the burden you do.

i think the world of you.

what do they say? this too shall pass.
