Bruce Wayne has been brought down to Level Zero after trying to attack and kill Poison Ivy. He'll be down there for the full week.

If anyone has any reason to believe anyone else has been threatened or caught his attention for whatever reason, I'd appreciate hearing about it sooner rather than later.

Well, that didn't take long at all.

[batmanschmatman]

Nope. [He hates to say I told you so, everyone, but he told you so. B(]

[surfaceshine]

You good, dude?

[ Filter ]

[batmanschmatman]

Been better, but I've been a lot worse, too, so. Taking what I can get.

[yeahscience]

Wait, what?

[Warden Filter]

[batmanschmatman]

What, what?

[Warden Filter]

[yeahscience]

What do you mean Bruce Wayne tried to kill someone? I know how that works-- like I've heard and all. [WHOOPS.]

[Warden Filter]

[batmanschmatman]

[... Not sure if should be furious you haven't said anything or grateful.] Then you've also heard how there are alternate versions of the world we come from?

Private To Dick

[bodilesswarrior]

[She hesitates. They didn't leave it very well, last time. But she can't just - ]

How are you doing?

[Her voice is quiet, tone gentle; she won't push, if he doesn't want to answer.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Fine.

[He still doesn't want to talk to you. :c]

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

[SIGH. She's going to have to bite the bullet here, isn't she.]

Dick, look, I'm...

[She really hates doing this.]

I'm sorry for not understanding, earlier.

...You were being difficult and - [and you reminded me of Bruce and I hate when that happens, it makes me worry about you] frustrating, but I should have...

I should have listened, more.

[She takes a breath.]

I know this is hard for you, Dick. I don't know all the reasons why. But - I want to be here for you, all right? For both of you.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick takes a long time to respond, because he doesn't know what he wants to say, and he's glad they're not having this talk in person, or over a video feed, because it gives him some distance and time to think instead of worrying about giving too much away in his expression.

He doesn't know how much Tim told her, and he definitely doesn't want to fill her in on the details. He still wondered if it was a mistake to have told Sara, if that was going to blow up in his face somehow, and if that wasn't a Batman thought, he didn't know what was, which was scary. But that was just how it worked, now, and he'd accepted it a long time ago.

When he does talk, he just sounds tired.]

I'm not the same person I was the last time you saw me at home, Babs. I'm sorry if that's difficult to deal with, but this is how things are now and I'm working with what I've got.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Did she goad him? [Please tell him Bruce didn't try to shoot first and ask later, please please please.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Well, technically he doesn't have his guns with him, so, he didn't shoot first. :v]

Didn't get a chance to ask, I had to knock him out to drag him down there.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Great.

[No wait--] Good job, I mean.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Thanks. You doing okay?

[Warden Filter]

[looksfine]

...does his confinement bring you any immediate relief?

[She asks almost as a continuation of their last conversation. Dick had appeared more concerned about what Bruce would do than concerned for the man himself. Logically, Bruce being in Zero would be a good thing in his mind...right?]

[Warden Filter]

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick takes a beat or two to respond, because this is just such a complicated issue, but he does want to make sure everyone has all the information they can on this subject.]

Well, I guess he can't go after anyone else for a week. Doesn't mean he won't do it again as soon as he's let out, though. And being down there will just give him time to think about how to do it better next time. Ivy's lucky T'Pol gave her her abilities back.

[Warden Filter]

[looksfine]

[She'll...just go ahead and interpret that as "temporary relief that he's locked up"]

Why did he attack Ivy?

[Private]

[lastincident]

I'm a little concerned about Selina Kyle. She's-- also from a world like yours, so that reasons to be that she'll become a target. I know she's concerned about becoming someone's target, but I'm not sure if that's simply her natural paranoia or something deeper.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Maybe I didn't make myself clear the last few times we spoke, but I've been working with versions of most of these people in some capacity since I was eight. I'm very familiar with Selina Kyle and she probably has the least to worry about out of most of the inmates on board. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked at all if the two of them were working together in some capacity. Her world's Bruce Wayne is apparently relatively similar to this one in terms of morality and mission, and considering they've had an on again, off again kind of relationship for as long as I can remember in my world, I also wouldn't be shocked if the same holds true for both of them.

I've also already told her she should watch her back with him regardless, and she brushed me off. I don't know who she is to you, but I'm also pretty confident any version of her can more than take care of herself.

[Private]

[lastincident]

Curious, then, why you haven't been assigned to warden any of them.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind. [ CLICK. ]

[ God is everybody from Gotham a prick? ]

[Warden Filter]

[doctor_j_crane]

Once again, the Batman fails to resist the urge to commit unwarranted acts of violent. Does he have a temporary warden yet?

[Warden Filter]

[batmanschmatman]

[Crane, Dick can still punch you in the face. :|] I'm filling in for now.

[Warden Filter]

[doctor_j_crane]

That's fine. At least someone is keeping an eye on him.
