“Whether or not they do is of no concern to me,” he responded, eyes narrowing slightly as he assessed the other. “I do not need them to.”

bsmadness replied to your post: I need a distraction from my brain

There is a anime called made in abyss. That may distract your mind.

Anime is really hard for me to get into nowadays :(

❛ Give me a scotch. I’m starving. ❜ [Batdad has returned!]

Bruce’s eyes narrowed slightly at the younger’s words, seeing Jason for the first time in a couple months. 

“I can get you some leftovers.” Bruce said, before remarking dryly, “You look like shit, Jason.”

[b-atmans]

“You left me out there all by myself!”

Bruce cringed slightly at Hal’s exclamation. He’d intended on reaching out to the other upon his return, but had yet to. 

He’d left the other man on another planet - alone - with no warning. Though, he’d been perfectly certain of Hal’s capabilities in terms of handling it on his own at the time, and sure enough - he’d been right in that regard. 

Bruce sighed, glancing up from his monitor’s at the other’s intrusion. “Something came up. I ensured that you were safe before I left.” He paused, before adding, “Good to see you, too.”

Bruce my magic watch says you don't have any clothes on

“...Time to get a new watch, Jordan.”

"I heard the cry of your soul buried beneath the mountains of documents you have here, so I forged a path through which I could come to your rescue." -Basically, he was bored, and he walked through the door.

“Sometimes, I have to wonder why I continue to put up with you.” Bruce walked around the other man spread across his desk, and took a seat at the chair, before shifting some of the papers to the side. 

“Would you care for coffee? I can ask Courtney to make some for you.”

[b-atmans]

"You're so in love with me, it's obvious." Well, 'obvious' was probably stretching it. So was 'love', if he was honest. But he'd like to see Bruce try to lie to a guy that could sense emotions.

The first emotion that rippled through Bruce was irritation, irritation at the smug and matter-of-fact tone the other spoke with. 

“What’s obvious is that you’ve always had a tendency to see what isn’t there, Jordan,” Bruce deadpanned, expression undeterred when he glanced up. “On that note, I would like a five page report with according footnotes to back up your claim.”

[b-atmans]

You're so in love with Selina, it's obvious

Bruce parted his lips, and then faltered. 

“...I care for her as an ally. She is fundamental to my...activities as a vigilante.”

[b-atmans]

"You're so on love with me, it's obvious." he played it cool but turned bright red.

Bruce’s eyes narrowed slightly at Wally’s words, suddenly tense. What had given him away? He’d been as careful as possible.

“Hardly anything is obvious - least of all, to you.”

a letter for when you feel: angry at the world 

Wally,

I don’t know what happened, but it must be pretty bad for you to be feeling this way. I’m sorry I can’t be there, though I suppose I’d factor into some of the reasoning behind that anger - in hindsight. 

So, you’re angry. And, not at yourself, but at the world. At everyone around you. Even those, who likely, are trying to reach out to you. But you don’t see that, because in your anger, you’re likely seeing all the reasons why and how you’re the one being pushed away. 

And so, you’re pushing them all away. Which, naturally, in that situation - is the only viable option. Wally, you’ve always been so good to those around you, open and gentle and patient, and for this kind of anger to simmer and grow, to hit this point - where you’re upset at anyone but yourself...it must be bad. 

Though, I suppose it’s far more healthy than internalizing it and taking on what you can’t handle and beating yourself up because the only person you can be upset with is yourself. Strange. Almost paradoxical. 

If you are upset at anyone other than yourself, it’s likely valid. Be angry. Let yourself be angry. You’re allowed to be angry, and you should not feel guilty for being angry, or let anyone take that away from you. But don’t isolate yourself. Be angry and present. Let those around you know you’re upset. Let them know. 

And watch, Wally, as they don’t leave you, not the way you expect them to. Watch as they work together to soothe you, to ease your anger, to apologize, and to remind you that you are never alone. Because even when you feel as you are, when everything is unfair and you hate it all - you’re not alone. So, be angry Wally. But please, don’t distance yourself.

You need others. And it took me too long of a time to realize that myself. 

Bruce.

*lays on top of Bruce's desk, pretty much ensuring that he won't be able to get any work done* I have saved you from the evils of paperwork. You're welcome.

Bruce groaned and ran a hand over his face. 

“Hal. I have work to do. Kindly remove yourself from my desk. How...did you even get in here?”

[b-atmans]

"I know people don't talk to you about it and I don't talk about my situation either but...we both had a similar start in life and yet we're so...different?" Wally knew it was a shot, bringing up Bruce's childhood but he was in the mood right now. Wally felt like talking.

Bruce blinked at the sudden start in conversation, before redirecting his gaze from the monitor to Wally’s own. 

“...You have an ability I lack, in that regard.” Bruce finally answered, slowly, before looking back at the screen.

☹: you're not feeling okay

a letter for when you feel: not okay

Dear Cassandra, 

You’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever come across. But, by no means, does that require you to always be strong. If you’re not feeling well right now, the first thing you have to do is not berate yourself for not feeling okay. Stop. No one expects that from you - at least, no one other than yourself. 

It’s okay to feel not okay. It’s okay to let it weigh on you and disorient you and make you feel unsettled, whatever is going on right now. Your first step is to not feel guilty for not being able to simply push past it, or solve it. 

Second, even if you don’t feel fine right now, you will. Maybe not soon, and maybe not for a long time, but eventually. And what’s the point of waiting for eventually? Because I’ve been told that it’s worth it. And meeting you, having you in my life, meeting the members of my family and watching my family grow - I can ascertain that, yes, pushing past the hard times is worth it. Worth it in ways that words can’t express. 

You’re strong, and you’re going to be okay - but that doesn’t require you to always be okay. Let yourself break down, if necessary. That way, when you build yourself back up - you’ll know parts of yourself that you’ve never allowed yourself to meet before, and you’ll begin the path to becoming more and more complete within yourself. 

Dad Bruce.

[b-atmans]

You're so in love with justice it's obvious

In response, Bruce offered a dark glower.

a letter for when you feel: angry at yourself

Jason,

You’re upset with yourself, and probably with good reason. You’ve likely gone and done something reckless, and you can barely sit still, let alone think straight. You’re angry, and I know there’s no seeing reason with you when you’re angry, so I won’t attempt to reason it out with you. 

I will tell you this: You’re still good. You will always be good. Jason, you are raw and reckless and something akin to a hurricane, but you are still good. And I know what you’re saying, hell, I can hear it, “You don’t know what I did, B.” You’re right. I don’t. 

You’re still good. Do not let your anger take over. I’ve told you once, and I”ll tell you again, and again, channel your anger. Take that anger and use it for good, the good that is in you, the good that will always be within you. Do not let your anger define you, or your actions.

You’re still good. Being angry at yourself won’t do anything to challenge or change that. You made a mistake, or you’ve hurt someone you had no intention to hurt - or, perhaps, you hurt someone you did intend on hurting, regardless - it’s not as overwhelming and consuming as it feels. And, more than that, it’s not over. It’s not all over. 

It may be your fault, but it may also not entirely be your fault. Regardless, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve always lacked in the department of being kind to yourself. I suppose I wasn’t the ideal role model in that regards.  

Hey, at the very least, channel that anger away from yourself, and towards me. Hell, if I’d have been there - you’d probably be angry at me anyway. 

Bruce
