I know it's kind of ridiculous to try to look for a point to any of this? But I still think it if we were going to be able to be contacted by people not on the Barge, it would have been more handy to let us pick who we could contact. And when to contact them in the timeline.

I hate time travel.

[Private to Costigan]

I saw you talking with Sullivan. How are you doing?

[Private to Hayley]

So, I met your Harvey.

[Private to Bruce; added a little later]

You told Crane?

I'm glad you guys have grown up. [Amuuused.]

Nah, guy. It sounds like family.

Yeah, maturity's a big thing for us. [Also amused.]

I just still can't believe he told Crane. I thought he was going to throw a fit when Tim and I told him you and Sylar know.

Crane's an asshole, sure, but isn't he from your world? I can't say I blame Bruce for being worried. I worked with the mafia and Sylar's a fuckin' serial killer.

The Crane here is different from the one back home. He's basically from an alternate reality.

But see, that's kind of my point. I told you who I am and what I do because I trust you, and I assume that's why Tim told Sylar. We don't just hand this stuff out to people. Knowing this information can get people killed back where we're from, or at least put them in serious danger, and I just don't get why he'd be that fast to tell someone about it. I mean, obviously the Barge is a really different environment? But if he wanted to be Batman on the Barge, why bother introducing himself as Bruce Wayne to people? And why pick now to reveal himself to everyone?

And frankly, a "oh, just so you know, I'm beating up Crane and telling him I'm Batman, which then totally blows your cover, and probably Tim's too" would have been nice.

I don't know, guy. Sometimes you have to either take orders or disown the establishment.

I don't always take orders from him. I wasn't kidding when I said I've been pretty much making my own judgment calls since I was seventeen. I mean, sure, sometimes he'll tell me to do something, but it's up to me whether or not I actually go through with it, and if I do, it's because I agree with him that it's the right thing.

Then why does it matter now?

It doesn't, really. He didn't give me any orders. I told him I didn't get why he told Crane and said I couldn't believe not even dying can get him to realize how much he means to us, and he threw it back in my face by saying apparently he didn't mean enough, because now I'm Batman. Even though I'm not, I still don't want to be, and he knows that. Or, he should.

Tell him again.

I might, once I'm not ready to just punch him in the face.

Sorry to dump on you like this.

Have you tried punching him? Maybe it would help.

Hey, that's what friends are for, right? Some shit like that?

It's incredibly tempting, believe me.

Sounds about right. But seriously, I appreciate it.

Why not try it?

Sure thing.

I guess things probably can't get any worse.

What is it with you? You act like a punch is the worst thing you could do.

It's not, but I mean, I think I kind of missed my opportunity. There's not a hell of a lot of point in hunting him down just so I can sock him in the jaw.

But believe me, if he pulls some other stunt or tries to bitch me out more over god knows what? Then yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say I'll take a swing at him.

Do what you need to, Grayson.
