Oh my! How I could miss this update! Well, it seems there is more I've missed, sorry. But I'm here now, trying to catch up on the stories. :)

"You were having a nightmare."
Oh Jim.

Jim finished the mail and tapped "send." "Well, you didn't get shanghaied without warning by a dead man," he grumbled. "Some of us still have work to do."
He didn't realize until the words were out how they might sound. They hung in the air between the two men and it was impossible to call them back.
Ouch

So why had he come back to Gotham?
Good question. :)

A wry smile. "I've been reliably informed that I don't have much of a sense of humor."
Really? Oh Bruce... :D

The spring morning brightened slowly around the two men, back to back, fighting their quiet personal battles.
AWWW, that was a wonderfully written scene!

Have you got some palladium and deuterium on hand?"
:lol

"You've never read Lord of the Rings?"
WOW!

"Cooking." Bruce looked dubious. "I suppose it's necessary."
Oh, poor Bruce. :D

AWWW those books - great! :D
Awesome chapter. Going to read the next one. :)

If you've been tracking my LJ, it seems that if I crosspost from Dreamwidth it doesn't show up? I'm trying to do better about that now that I know...

Really? Oh Bruce... :D

I didn't want to dwell on it because I don't like dissing Selina (I love her!) but I can imagine her growing exasperated with Bruce a bit...

Bruce is really not certain this whole "cooking thing" is a good idea. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it--I'm hoping to have the last chapter up soonish! (WFGEs are taking more time!)
