[ The video blinks on suddenly, catching the corner of the chin. There's a shift of it left, right, before it settles on a pair of ice blue eyes, far too close. Familiar eyes, and an even more familiar face when he pulls the screen back.

Bruce Wayne. ]

You know. [ He clears his voice quietly. ] It's a really surreal experience to be snoozing next to a beautiful lady - and let me tell you, her breasts are fantastic - and then suddenly landing back-first into a strange city. It's terribly rude.

And to make it worse, I switch on this thing, and the first thing I see is my own face. [ Pause. Dramatic pause. He's letting that sink in, City. ] I think there's a word for it - deja vu? But words don't seem very adequate right now, no.

[ There's a scuffling as he sets down the camera on a nice surface. Rocky, though. But it steadies after a while, and he clears his throat. ]

Unfortunately, as handsome as my own face is, I don't remember making any of those posts. Or talking to any of you surely fascinating people [ Bright smile. ]

Care to enlighten me?

[ ... Shush, you're not supposed to realise he has been here for days. ]

[ First the mess in her apartment, and now a nice helping of public humiliation from her publicly-known boyfriend. This is going to be ugly and she doesn't care. ]

Classy, Bruce.

[ The disdain is just dripping. ]

[ The public humiliation is kind of deliberate. He's being an asshole on purpose because they need to break up publicly. Of course, this gives her more ammunition to be pissed at him but.

Welp. ]

... Selina!

I- didn't know you were here!

Mm. And would that really have made a difference?

Well. [ Pause. ]

See, I was talking about yours. [ THIS IS SUCH OBVIOUS ASSHOLE BACKPEDALLING!!!! ]

How convincing.

Seems the Porter brought you back in from before you learned to be a worthwhile human being.

[ She kind of meant that one for reals. ]

Edited 2011-09-19 03:35 (UTC)

Hey.

You going to be alright?

...What?

[ That's the only response she can formulate at the moment. ]

Hey, Selina. I do know what an angry person sounds like.

Are you going to be alright?

Yeah. Sure.

I'm serious. [ A pause ]

If you need anything, I can always pick up.

Don't even let the dust settle, huh?

[ Dry: ] Well, you know me.

A guy can't be sympathetic now without wanting something? I'm as human as you are.

And here I thought you were part computer.

[ 8| ]

No. I've made upgrades, certainly. That doesn't mean I'm a machine.

[ ... Oh, he can tell.

And he's just going to make you twenty times more pissed at him- ]

So...

Did I come in at a bad time of the month? Because I can't think of anything I did that would make you so angry.

[ Total lie. ]

The thinking part would be the problem, wouldn't it?

The memory loss might have cause permanent damage and I need love and kindness to get over it.

[ THE MOST SMARM. ]

Thing is Bruce? Last time you were here you were actually mature enough to manage your company and handle a real relationship. And then you come back spouting the same old bullshit.

[ True true all very true. And she is so angry now. ]

So don't call me until you grow the fuck up.

So basically, you only like me when I'm boring.

[ Drawl. He is trying to piss you off. ]

Fine, fine. Whatever.

Fuck off.

[ Not just mad, there's a bit of hurt in there too. ]

[ Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.

There's a significant pause and a quiet, quiet thud. That's his head hitting the wall. Then he just- cuts it off.

It's better this way. Right? ]
