I remember not too long after I came here, someone rambled on and on about "lifers". Since then, not only have the two lifers graduated, but this guy right here has as well.

[Grins. He's finally been delivered his one way ticket out of here.]

Sorry, kiddos. There's no sticking around to play nice for me. There's a lot of work that I want to do in the place I'm going to, that I don't want to leave at the hands of some cosmic being who not only loses control of its ship, but dumps us off in a hellhole.

Graduating here is like drawing straws. Sometimes you luck out like me, find people who actually give a damn about you when you arrive, and get paired up with someone who sees you as a person, not a means to an end. Other people, get yanked around and screwed with constantly. This place needs a serious overhaul. I'd stick around to try and do just that, but I'd also risk losing a literal once in a life time opportunity.

[He can't risk suddenly disappearing or getting reverted back to an Inmate, which would prevent him from leaving with Bruce.]

I'll be around for a few more hours to say my goodbyes. After that, I'm out of here.

[Private to Jean]

Tell your friend I said hey.

[Private to Bruce]

I'm heading to your room.

[ Wow. She really doesn't know what to say. After all, it's Jason Todd. Him graduating is just... kind of mind-blowing, honestly. But she can't tell him that, it would be rude. ]

Of all the times to not be near a Hallmark.

The door's open.

[Bruce sounds exhausted. After everything that's happened in Silent Hill he's been keeping to himself, cleaning the cave, checking his weapons, falling into a routine that'll help him stop thinking about what he saw.

When Jason arrives he is standing next to the case with the Batman suit, looking at with a mixture of revulsion and nostalgia. He does not move to acknowledge his son, simply waits for Jason to come and stand next to him.]

[Jean just stares, for a second. And then she's beaming, radiating pride and affection and more pride.]

I knew you could do it. And I will.

Stay safe, okay? I mean - as much as you can.

Congratulations, Jay. [A small, selfish part of her is sad to see him go, but her smile is wide and warm.]

[mistconduct]

You're shitting me.

[megamind]

And everybody on the lifer section of the board is still here.

Congratulations, though. Enjoy your well-earned reward, sir.

[ He's not even mad bro. ]

I'm glad you get to go home.

I have a pie for you. Before you leave.


It's. Tradition.
