Hey Admiral, while you're scraping the bottom barrel of hell for inmates, why not grab Attila the Hun while you're at it? Fuck this place. Even Arkham does a better job.

See, the difference between the rest of you and me is I don't give a shit about standing on a moral pedestal. You guys can have your moral superiority and feel like better people. What good is being a better person when a guy like that gets to constantly escape back home and do the things he's done to Cass? I've seen the exit wounds.

Does knowing he gets away with that make you feel like the better person?

[Barbara drops the calm veneer, letting her mouth curl into a frustrating scowl.]

You think I'm not tempted? You think I don't want to pay him back for every scar on her body? I'd love to see him drown in a pool of his own blood but this isn't about what I want. Not me, not you, not any of us.

[She takes a breath, steadies her voice.]

This is about her. If she wants to do anything to Cain I'm not going to stop her.

We both know she wants to do it, but she won't because of the Bruce from our world. I'll do what the symbol won't let her or the rest of you do.

No, Jason. Cassandra made that decision before she ever met Bruce.

Even if she hadn't...

[Her gaze drifts as her fist clenches.]

She still cares about that man. I won't - if hurting him will hurt her, at all, then it's not worth it.

Sorry, Babs. I can't make you or anyone else any promises.

From:

bodilesswarrior

...Yeah, well. If he ever goes near her, I wouldn't either.

You really think that creep is going to make any effort to keep his distance?

From:

bodilesswarrior

He will if he values his kneecaps.

[There's a long, dangerous pause on his end.]

I'll make you a deal. I'll hold off on doing anything to him for the time being, if you promise you'll help me pay the bastard back if he upsets her in any way.
