[Well... there is not a lot going on, here. Not for quite some time, anyway. Just the sounds of someone taking slow, rasping breaths and shifting around occasionally]

[Eventually though, he makes a disgusted sort of sound at the back of his throat, shifting to his feet and crossing the few steps to the door of his cell. There’s a rattling clang as he tests the bars… not for the first time, and then another softer sigh… This is definitely the worst thing that could've ever happened, ending up here again. And the only person who might help is someone he… doesn’t want to talk to!!! Goddammit… he's been putting it off long enough though. Might as well get it over with now… Hnn]

[Riful]
Woops.


((ooc Open... for people who want to yell at him in jail?!?! Also, over the journal, I guess... if anyone wants to know what that sound was))

[He doesn't know either )8 But that question makes him look over. Uru... stop... caring, what are you doing]

[She gets a faint smile, and a tiny shake of the head after a moment]

I'm where I need to be... That's what's important.

[ he's right. it was better this way. no one had to fret anymore about two-face being out there.

still, this places looks less than homely. ]

You couldn't come here yourself?

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

No.

[Coin didn't come up right the couple of times he did flip for it. Besides... Two-Face isn't the only one who didn't want to end up here. He was just more vocal about it]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ she wonders how miffed two-face must be. ]

Was it one of the Bats? Or someone from the Peace Patrol?

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Coin flip, though he doesn't actually check it before he answers her]

Uh... One of the Bats. I think.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ AWKWARD PAUSE. ]

Robin?

[ if damian had been the one to do it, it wouldn't be right if she didn't give her thanks to him. ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Pauses to think... And shakes his head again]

No, I remember the symbol... [Gestures with his unbroken hand, describing the bat shape in the air]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Batgirl? [ she seems surprised buttt won't mention anything about batman being gone. ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Another pause... But he ends up just... sighing faintly]

I had a headache when I woke up. Probably a concussion... [Shrugs] Maybe it'll come back to me later.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ she stands there quietly for a moment. ]

I'm sorry.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[.....URU WHY]

Don't be. [He deserves this. Whatever happens to him...] You're safe now. Focus on that.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

But what happens to you now? [ are they going to try and help him or...? ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

It... [...okay, actually he... is genuinely worried about this as well, and he swallows roughly, clearing his throat before he can finish that sentence]

[But... he just... He doesn't want her to worry, or even... think about him anymore. He wants her to move on as best she can so...]

It doesn't matter.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

They can't just lock you up and leave you here forever. [ THAT'S NOT HOW A PRISON WORKS D8 ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Hnn...]

They don't have any rule of law here. No courts... [Twists his hands together] They can do whatever they want.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

But... you were a lawyer. [ she thinks, looking off to the side momentarily. ] You know they can't just do that.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[.....how would she know that ljsdfjsdf Probably talking to Bats? Sure...]

[But that gets her a sort of bitter laugh] Lawyers can only use the laws they're given. And there aren't any here. [Being a lawyer means absolutely nothing without some kind of system set up to use them]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ ... oh god. wondering if she should... ask lilah.

but she doesn't know what else to say about it and bringing up the lawyer bit reminded her: ]

You really were a lawyer once?

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

Once. Long time ago.

[There's remorse... in his voice. Things that could have been. He doesn't like to think about his past, really so...]

You've been talking to them about me?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ noticing that but when he asks that question, she shifts uneasily. ]

It was a while ago.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Ah... Has to clench his jaw around the bitter anger that rises up at that idea. What would they have told her? Probably some distortion of the truth. Make themselves look better. He doesn't know how many of them know about Batman... and... how untrustworthy he really is]

[...it bothers him that he can get this angry. Anger is supposed to be the other one's thing, and it's too easy for him to take advantage when he gets like this]

[So he... presses that down. Sighs to himself. Flips the coin just for the sake of something familiar... And he doesn't say anything because he's not sure he knows who's words they'd end up being right now]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ she really doesn't like the uncomfortable silence and tries to focus on something else. then she catches the mirror again. ]

How did that end up in here?

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[...goddamn mirror. He glances at it, then returns to fussing with his coin]

It follows me.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ wat. ]

... What.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[FFF manages an awkward kind of chuckle. GENUINE, NON-EVIL LAUGHTER IS HARD )8]

It... appears wherever I'm sleeping. I don't know how to get rid of it...
