01st Strike | Audio
[Ever since arriving, Bruce has spent the better part his time here trying to decide how best to handle this situation. He's long since shed his costume and put it away on the lower floor of his suite. Best not to put that on for a while. After, he combed through the suite (yes in his underwear) and tried his radio with no success.
That's when he spots the console.
When Bruce activates the voice function on his console, he's putting away the Batman voice, in order to sound as innocuous as possible. He has no civilian clothes and he would really rather not have the Batman associated with him. It's bad enough the kedan saw him in costume. He needed to put some distance between himself and the suit as quickly as possible.]
My name is Bruce and it seems I've lost my shorts in the water. [Embarrassed laugh.] Would someone mind letting me know where I could find some clothes?

You too.
I'll - be there soon.
[And she's off!]
Audio
[And Bruce will just have himself a seat to wait for her.]

action
Ah, thank you. At this rate, I won't have to do any shopping at all.
[It's like he has a bunch of Alfreds. It's nice.]
action
It's - nothing. Hope you like them.
[She didn't get all black - she figured that wouldn't fit his act - but they're darker hues, in thick, flowing fabric.]
action
[And he almost asks how she knew. But somehow he's sure he doesn't want to know the answer.]
action
Great!
...Um. [And suddenly she feels very awkward.] Are you - doing okay?
action
[He'll get used to it. Eventually. Maybe.]

action
That's good. Because...you can get here - by dying.
action
Don't worry, I'm not dead.
action
Good.
action
You know me, don't you?
action
[She considers, for a moment. He'll find out eventually; he's Batman. Better it comes from her.]
My last name...is Wayne.
action
I'm sorry. This is. New for me.
action
I know. It's...okay.
Don't expect you to be - like him. [To be a father.] Just wanted you to - know you're not alone.
action
But he smiles at her.]
Thank you.
[For all of that.]
If it's all right with you, I would like to get to know you. [Still feeling a sense of responsibility over here. Go figure.]
action
I'd - like that, too.
[She raises a hand, small and tough and scarred.]
Nice...to meet you.
action
Nice to meet you too.
action
My life...is a lot better. Since I met him.
action
action
[She raises another hand, curling her fingers as she presses it to her heart.] I - have a life now. A...family. A reason. I - am more than a weapon. [More, even, than a soldier.]
action
You would always be more than that.
