Back at work. The Grayson case is at a standstill for the moment - which probably explains why I haven't seen Nadine. That or...no. For some reason I doubt it was something I said.

People were surprised to see me back two days later, but really, did they expect anything less? Frankly, I could do without the worried looks and overly concerned advice. Gordon says I've got to be more careful. He's probably right, but if the district attorney can't bounce back from a fight with a villain, who can?

I got into this for a lot of different reasons - not just the ones they talked about in those "I Believe in Harvey Dent" commercials or pamphlets.

A large part of why I'm doing what I am does have to do with those things - the better good, the safety of Gotham's streets, fighting back to take what corrupt criminals have taken from us - what we let them take from us.

More than those things, however, there's the part of me that needs to show myself - I'm not who I once was. This is a fight for Gotham but in some ways, it also feels like the fight for myself.

Having Rachel there this time was good. Put my brain back on track. At least, I hope it did.
