🐍—-;; Mattia believes it takes quite a lot of strength to be able to do what Batman does, to forgive people and allow them that second chance, the chance to make the better choices. He can admire it even if he lets himself do so. It's perhaps why, despite the hostility at Batman sticking his nose where it doesn't belong he's being reasonably civil right now. Had even told his security guard to step out of the room to keep the man from harming the vigilante, that and the fact Mattia was fairly sure if he was here to hurt him, there would not have been a discussion at all. All that on top of the fact the man had saved him five years ago. "Seems we are." He can agree to that, arms folding over his chest, gloved fingers tapping against his bicep. "In a perfect world, perhaps, Pipistrello." He hums, "who knows, maybe fate will give it a chance."

Seeing good even in people who consider themselves monsters... It is both one of his strengths and one of his weaknesses. It can be difficult to be strict and unyielding when he wants to give people a second chance. After all, doesn't everyone deserve a chance to learn from their mistakes? At the mention of Mattia's children, from behind emotionless white lenses his gaze softens. He has kids too. He can understand the need to protect them at all costs, the consequences be damned. "It sounds like we have an understanding then," he agrees with a small nod of cowled head. "For both our sakes, the next time we see each other, I hope it is under more positive circumstances."

🐍—-;; Mattia wishes he could see the good in himself, but he'd spent his whole life being the way he was. Selfish, cruel, vindictive, with all matters, except family. Sure, one could look at his charity work and think he wasn't all that bad, but Mattia doesn't see it that way. His chance at being anything else had passed the moment he'd killed that hitman when he was sixteen. Something about old dogs and new tricks comes to mind. He looked at him for a moment as he considers his words, then his tongue clicks against the roof of his mouth. He deems it unwise to tell the Bat that Antonio was already involved, Mia had her own ways, more subtle than her twin brother, much like her father in that regard. "They re teenagers finding their place in the world. They are the best parts of their mother, and the worst parts of me." Mattia speaks, fingers finding he scarring on his neck. "You will do what you must, and I will do what I have to protect them."

Mattia's words are met with a neutral hum. The two of them will have to agree to disagree on that. If Mattia was really only capable of chaos and destruction Batman likely wouldn't have saved him that faithful night. Batman saw something in him... Something Mattia has yet to see for himself. Batman can only hope Mattia will see the good in himself before he snuffs that tiny flame out. Still, he can't force an unwilling person to change... "I do not hurt children," he assures the other, "however if they become involved in crime, they will need to stop or face the consequences of their actions. I can not turn a blind eye to misdeeds indefinitely, especially if those misdeeds are causing harm to others."

22. If you keep your ability a secret, does anyone know of it? How did they find out? If you don’t, do you flaunt your ability whenever possible or only use as needed?

Asks for Superpowered Muses

🐍—-;; "My children found out, the same day I did, with a bright blue spark across my finger tips when we were trapped in our home that someone had tried to burn down. I don't remember anything after surrounding my daughter with the shield I'd created, since we were both trapped. My son managed to escape and call for help." He sighs a little and he shakes his head a little. "I've never made a habit out of letting people know I can do this, it protects me like an instinct when I'm in danger. I don't even know if I can actually control it."

🐍—-;; Mattia knew better of course, but it's impossible to do anything in this damn city without stepping on someone's toes. Such is the way this city works, most of the time it didn't mean anything, other times, it ended up with situations like this. Mattia's jaw clenches, his powers doing their best to keep him protected at the moment, should this evolve beyond a verbal confrontation. The last thing he really needs is to be shot though, however this ended.

"No, of course not." Mattia responds, hands moving to adjust his gloves, the leather creaking slightly as he does so. He should reach for his gun, but given his current predicament it's not exactly a wise thing, he simply makes sure the men he had with him made sure not to let him get any closer.

"I'd be a fool to think actions were without consequences." He shrugs, he is outwardly calm at the very least, even if he didn't particularly want to find himself here. "Ah, but you know that, don't you?"

[bcdcompcny]

🐍—-;; Broken as it was, it was a bit of a surprise to hear it, Mattia usually only heard it from his underlings. "You know Italian." He comments. It was good to know, given that Italian was Mattia's first language, despite having been raised in America. "In any case, I know I am imposing, I owe you a favour for this."

He looked down at the food, just for a moment, at least to make sure there was nothing he's actively allergic to before he eats it. The last thing he needs right now is stomach trouble. It's clear he likes the food though, "this is pretty good." He says

"Don't worry about it, everyone needs a hand every now and then. I myself have been saved by others so it's time I pass it forward.. Er, passare il favore." He chuckles at his broken attempt at Italian, having rarely used it nowadays.

After Mattia takes his first bite Adam also digs into the meal, glancing over at the other every so often to gauge his reaction.

🐍—-;; He can't exactly say he likes the vigilantes in this city, making running his business a little more difficult than it was decades ago. It shouldn't surprise he's been caught up in something again by one of them. Instinctively, his powers have activated, his free hand reaching up to adjust his hood a bit against the wind. "You'll forgive me if I'm not exactly in the talking mood, uccellino."

He technically hadn't done anything yet, well...not tonight at least. His eyes narrow and he huffs, still keeping that gun trained on the other. Mattia is oddly calm, despite his initial startling upon being found here. "Why don't we cut to the point so we can both get on with our night."

🐍—-;; Really, it would be in poor taste to bring any sort of trouble here, Mattia certainly hadn't brought trouble with him, or he would not have been so willing to accept a stranger's help. He was many things, but dragging someone into his own troubles wasn't part of that. However, he knows he owes this man something in return, after all...letting him stay here for the moment, lending him clean clothes, it would only be fair that he earns a favour in return. And maybe he didn't want attention from the mafia, but he did have the Gotham patriarch Romano crime family in his house currently. The boss, so to speak. Not that Mattia would make that outwardly known if he wasn't recognised. Better to keep a low profile for now.

Still, Mattia took his time in cleaning up, just wanting to be sure he was clean before he stepped back out and found the clean clothing that had been left for him. They weren't quite his size, but that was okay, they still fit. He also examined his injuries. Whether or not he'd need any extra treatment for that busted lip. He's not so sure he can do anything else for it other than having cleaned it.

So he made sure he didn't leave a mess in the bathroom, then made his way downstairs. He pauses when he hears Adam talk to him, looking up at him. He hums, looking at the food he'd been presented with and he nods.

"I am sorry for all this trouble, caro." He says to him with a small smile, "I know we do not know each other."

Adam wasn't exactly sure why he opened his doors to this stranger, a bloody mess of a man that could bring trouble into his life and into Ayleen's. It wasn't like him. But what was done was done, he'll triple check the place for any trackers, drugs, anything incriminating that someone might come busting the door down over once he's gone.

He'll make sure he's gone soon, the second the meal is finished. In hearing the other's voice the grip he had on his knife tightened for a moment, a curt nod was given before continuing to chop the vegetables and scrapping them into a sizzling pan. Listening closely to each step the other man took up the stairs and into the bathroom.

A while later he heard the door open and straightened from where he was leaning on the stair rail to finalize the dinner he prepared; having been on guard the entire time. When Mattia made it to the final landing Adam placed his sudden guest's plate down politely.

"... Enjoy." Was all he could muster.

🐍—-;; Tonight was just a series of unfortunate events, Mattia's hurt, a couple of bruises, nothing too serious, his abilities had ensured they weren't anything more than superficial, but that hadn't stopped the fact he'd been caught off guard at first, that punch that had split his lip had been a problem. Still, he got out otherwise unscathed, and now he's hiding somewhere until his underlings can pick him up safely. He is thankful that this place seemed safe, for the time being at least, even if he is a little wary of Adam, it's hard to relax at present, even texting his kids to tell them he's okay doesn't help.

He sighs a little at the mention of food, not sure he'd be able to eat it right now, he did want to get cleaned up, get the dirt off his skin, irritating as it was, it's nothing compared to the dried blood, the sensation on his skin isn't pleasant.

"Thank you, caro." He says, he rolls his shoulders and stands up. He did move then to head up there to make use of the bathroom, and change of clothes.
