I'm showing. I realize this. I am still capable of putting people who touch my midsection without permission in a headlock. This is a pre-emptive warning.

Can I ask you for a personal favor?

-O.

( @babsggordon )

Am I allowed to ask questions?

[officialbruciewayne]

So I looked in the medical files since I was in the med bay anyway (stepped on glass) and it looks like I was right.

Hn. First thing's first: do you need medical assistance?

I wasn't aware it was a theory you were considering. I'll admit, whilst I considered the xenobiological implications, the lack of hcG in the blood test analysis threw me off. As was my continued no-uterus status.

Blackgate couldn't hold me forever, Wayne. Best hope you look behind your back, lest I break it again.

@shadowovergotham

Last time you needed to raise all of Gotham's worst against me, razed the city itself to drive me to ground, and only struck when I was alone. You broke an injured man and declared yourself a king.

I don't need to look behind my back; I have people who watch it for me, Bane; and beware, conquering is not the same as ruling, and Gotham shall swallow you whole.

I’m not like telling anyone! Just asking you

It's still personal. But yes, for now.

And the situation is still- developing. In two meanings of the word. I've made my own decision to attempt this, but I say attempt for a reason.

I am not built for this, literally. And even if that were different, I am a forty-three year old with a lifetime of injuries. I am not safe. For me, for- for the baby. Just because the- baby has survived thus far, does not mean this is possible. This may well be dangerous for me. I am trying very sincerely to not become wrapped up in hope.

And if I succeed, that is... a daunting prospect too.

Baby?!

Those medical records are supposed to be private. That is why they are encrypted.

[officialbruciewayne]

Father. You are to have a baby. With Clark.

Damian. I take it you've been in my medical files too.

Perhaps. It's unknown if there are medical reasons that will make it impossible to keep the- to keep it. I have not informed Clark, nor the family as a whole.

I am certain and appreciative of your skill at discretion.

Off the record, I hear this one a lot.
