Really, Bruce?

[batsymbol]

( he's trying. )

I know you'll keep an eye on things.

[mostdangerousbird]

Jay drug me off to Ireland to keep me from going back.

[batsymbol]

I know. He cares about you.

[mostdangerousbird]

What I don’t get is how you put him up to it.

[batsymbol]

We both had the same idea. I didn't need to twist his arm.

[mostdangerousbird]

It's not your place to have that idea! You're at least 10 years from having to worry about me.

[batsymbol]

You're here now.

[mostdangerousbird]

Bruce was remarkably less receptive.

[batsymbol]

Is that what you want me to be?

[mostdangerousbird]

I need you to be whoever it is you're going to be, without tailoring that to an alt-future kid whose current existence depends entirely on actions and choices made by another version of you.

[batsymbol]

No pressure then.

[mostdangerousbird]

It's not meant to be pressure. I'm saying that that me needs you to make unswayed choices. I'd probably screw it up by offering guidance.

[batsymbol]

Regardless of how well we know each other. You're not expendable and I won't let you think of yourself that way.
