I read a Commander Cody fic where he was dying from accelerated aging and was forcibly made young and healthy again, and the first thing he did upon being fighting fit was try to strangle the person who brought him back because he just wanted to be old and die finally.
Which was just so Bruce Wayne coded to me for some reason. Someone dunks him in the Lazarus Pit for the 4th time (probably Tim…or Clark) and the first thing he does after clawing his way out is try to strangle the nearest person because god damn it, he just wanted to be old.
he doesn’t want to fight anymore. why won’t anyone let him get old? why do they keep making him young? he has a whole generation of heroes under him but for some reason no one will let him go—
