You need to find a way to come here at least once. I can even arrange the wedding to happen in New York but you need to meet Alfred, and Leslie - the doctor - so you can find someone closer to you to handle emergency medical scenarios and keep their mouth shut. Anything too dire, we can transport you but there's a lot of room between what you can handle yourself and 'you need surgery and an MRI'.

He will probably ultimately be proud of me and happy about it. He'll just need to see and hear that first hand. Fortunately, it's Superman. Knee jerk responses aren't typical for him. And you can probably work in teaching him a thing or two about grounding his senses at some point.

It carries plenty of weight. It's not enough and there are gaps that I'd like to fill to the best of my ability and that you'll allow, but it's not without weight. Most of my basic medical care comes from a retired special services butler or myself. I just also have someone who can prescribe antibiotics and has hospital privileges. That's something I'd like to work out for you if I can.

We're still both going to end up bleeding to death in a gutter - if we're lucky.

He just needs some guidance in finding something that's not relying on me or his parents.

The good news is, doing your own stitches is so standard for me that even my occasionally overbearing ass isn't likely to protest. As for explanations, I've had good luck with both sex and extreme sports as an explanation - and both are true enough, and solidify my reputation.

Make-up also helps but that would be a rough one for you to pull off.

Thank you.

If your work that's good, you should start doing my stitches. [ That's a joke. His are messy, Alfred's are messy. His because he doesn't care and can't always reach. Alfred's because Bruce is impatient and cranky about it.]

The reasons are mostly skiing and rock climbing - sky diving I stay away from. Batman's too known for heights and dropping from them.

If I get a reputation for abusing you, I'm going to be annoyed.

I'd claim I don't remember when I learned, but the nearest thing I have to a 'super power' or enhancement is my memory. I was 15 in London and actually was mugged and didn't care much then, either.

I mean the public. No one who knows either of us would believe it privately - and if they do, I have bigger problems than the press. We can use you being an apparent victim of crime very well, I think.

Kirsten isn't entirely wrong.

I 'ran away' from Gotham at 14. I reappeared at 20, picked up the cowl and adopted Dick the same year at 20.

I don't like the victim narrative any more than I like pretending to be an oversexed, reckless drunk, but when the narrative is convenient it's worth keeping. Especially when it's mostly false.

Then you're working with at least as much experience as I am, and with less support. Though I was doing a lot of martial arts from seven, in an attempt to impose some control on me and give me an acceptable outlet. I was a terrible child.

That's a good question. Where would our public lives intersect? Where does your public persona go besides work and court?

Definitively finishing fights I didn't start was part of my issue. The rest was more... variable.

I actually prefer that kind of bar, but not as my public face. Let's just say I was on a business trip and ran into you at a coffee shop. "Brucie" is aggressive enough in pursuit of a pretty face that all he has to do is have seen you.

Lost this one in my inbox but DW's inbox had it!

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-09-04 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Why?!

[Haha, not so cool when someone Else does it, is it Jim? Is this how his people feel every time there's a Situation??]

I can see the sign for 50th St station across the way. There's a car hanging out of a boutique front window so mind the broken glass.

[In this case cooperating means he'll be able to get Matt somewhere safe quicker too. He sure as hell doesn't know his way around the area so running off to find the blind man? Not smart.]
smartass_captain: (Aww fuck)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-09-07 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Not giving me much of a choice BUT to trust you in the moment.

[He just hates that feeling of his heart being jammed up into his throat trying to imagine Matt and his cane navigating out here while he's taking cover with this poor guy behind the half overturned car.

At least they managed to get out of the window finally. The webbing has the rest of the car firmly held upright.]

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-09-11 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Citrus, a bit of cardamom, and a whole lot of anxiety right about now. The driver is looking more relieved by the moment when Daredevil appears. Jim is keeping a lookout across the street. And when Matt speaks, it's relief at first that washes over Jim's entire posture, too. He knows that voice.]

Thank fuck. You have no idea how...

[When he turns around he trails off. Blinks. Looks around then back at the guy in the outfit in front of him. The little hamster wheel upstairs is starting to smoke.]

Uh.

[No no, it's cool. He's one of the good guys, the driver is quick to explain. Jim drags his tongue along his lower lip, clearly debating on what if anything to say before he just nods.]

Right. Sorry. Lead the way.
smartass_captain: (WTF just happened)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-09-15 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[See the thing is, Jim's too busy noticing that this guy's mask has no possible way for visibility. What means he wasn't lying about the whole being blind thing. Which means Jim isn't crazy for recognizing Matt's voice. Or what little of his face that can be seen.

The driver might ask if Daredevil is certain given the subway entrance is Right there. But Jim just makes a soft, noncommittal sound in the affirmation and falls into step. The last half hour has been a Lot for him to take in.]


We're with you. Uh. Sir.
