crossesthelineI 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.

But he needs Jason, and Jason needs him. They keep each other steady. That, more than anything, that had propelled him towards graduating and staying a warden.]
Then I'll tie up some other loose ends, and we'll go home.
[He flexes his fingers, looks up at the suit again.]
You think I should wear that, or become something else?

We can work on resdesigning our suits together.

There's a lot of work to be done. We have to... talk to Alfred. [And to Dick, but he has no idea how to do that.] I promised Cassandra I would look for her.
