Leslie Raised An Amused Eyebrow. "You Only Had A Lot Going On As A Kid? That's Changed, Has It?"

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."

“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.”

"Oh." Her hand covered Bruces much larger one. When did he get so big? "I understand. I'm not blaming you. And your kids all have lives of their own."

"Alfred?" And hadn't that ship already sailed? Surely that opportunity had passed her by by now. "Last we spoke he seemed far too busy."

docthompkins​:

“The works fine. I enjoy it… It’s fulfilling.” She shook her head slightly dismissing the idea, lip curling at the compliment. Bruce was sweet when he wanted to be. Leslie just appreciated him dropping by, a rare occurrence these days given how busy he was.

“I don’t know.” Leslie mused. “I go to work. And then I go home. If I’m lucky, neither you or any of your brood need patching up - which is a double edged sword seeing as that’s the only time I really see any of you at the moment…” There was admonishment in her tone, though it wasn’t not unkind. She understood why.

“It gets a little lonely sometimes.” Leslie admitted quietly.

Bruce looked down at his glass. “I know. I’m sorry I haven’t been around more when I’m not bleeding,” he sighed. Did Alfred feel this way too? Bruce wasn’t sure. “Is there anything I can do?” He asked her. 

He took another pull form his drink. “I do know a nice English butler who wouldn’t mind taking you out on a date.” 

Did I just spend time finding every batfamily member I could? Yes. Did I just spend at least 45 minutes figuring out ages that make sense ? Yes.

Did I say f**k DC timeline? Absolutely!
