Evaluation Of Bruce Wayne By Leslie Thompkins (from Batman: The Imposter).

Evaluation of Bruce Wayne by Leslie Thompkins (from Batman: The Imposter).

Leslie raised an amused eyebrow. "You only had a lot going on as a kid? That's changed, has it?"

She shook her head. Bruce had been a child during the period where they had danced aid eachother. The odd moment that could have become something more but never did. "No Bruce. If you've managed to finally convince him to take a vacation the last thing he'll need is to see me. Let the man enjoy his peace."

docthompkins​:

“Don’t be too hard on yourself, Bruce dear.” And she squeezed his hand. The last thing she had meant in her confession was to make him feel guilty. Perhaps she should have kept it to herself.

No. She reminded herself. Sharing is healthy. Allowing people to show up for you is important.

“Of course he does. We’ve known eachother for years.” People grew fond of eachother of course. He cared for her Leslie was sure. Loving and being in love, however were two different things. “The stubborn man wouldn’t know how what rest looked like if it hit him square in the face.”

He shook his head at her. “No, Leslie, like he loves you. I may have had a lot going on as a kid, but that I saw. He’s always loved you.” He did chuckle at her comment, she was right about that. “That’s why I’m making him take a vacation. You should join him. You could use a break.”

Gotham Social Worker: so what’s the deal here?

8 year old Bruce: my family’s butler Alfred will be taking custody of me

Gotham Social Worker: okay cool sounds legit. we done?

Bruce: ... you don’t have file do any paperwork? do a background check? ask about his last name?

Gotham Social Worker: nah you seem chill

Bruce: well okay then

LMAO I just looked into it and basically... yeah.

Leslie is so infuriated by Bruces vigilanteism but is equally so proud of when Batman saves innocent lives. The cognitive dissonance is jarring and often she struggles to express that to him without lecturing him on stoking the escalation of crime in the city. She just worries, Bruce. She hates having to piece him and his children back together again but will do it every time.

Leslie practically lived at the manor for a period of time after Thomas and Martha died, helping Alfred adjust and to also be there for her Godson who she needed to hold as much as he needed to be held. It was a difficult time for them both. Bruce is the closest thing Leslie has had to a son and she loves him dearly.

"Excellent company too!"

Out having a coffee with @docthompkins since it's a beautiful evening. ❤️❤️

Open starter.

"I had a client today ask me if I'm happy." Leslie began, swirling the amber liquid in the bottom of her glass. "I didn't answer, of course. Professional boundaries and what have you."

She took a sip, savouring the flavour, the burn of it at the back of her throat. "But still. It did make me wonder."
