[bigreveal]

[And she was there, waiting for him. Specifically, in the dining room, having rice and stirfry. Just pure casual around the Bat.]

Hello, Batman. [She says simply, and straightforward. She'd ask him to sit down, but lord knows Batman hates sitting down. Makes it harder to find a window to escape silently out of.]

[crusaderinacape]

[He makes a point of casing the joint with a mechanical glance before he encroaches like gloom into the glow of the dining room.]

Waller. [Standing is a given, the brusque folding of his arms showing under the cape.]

[bigreveal]

[And she cuts right to the chase, as she swallows one piece of chicken.]

Personally, I wonder why Blake is even on your radar, now. You certainly weren't paying much attention to him here before he got all hot headed and stupid. I thought you were supposed to be at least as good as me at following everybody.

Otherwise, figured you would've already known what I know.

And following him only now that he's safely in jail? Criminal rehab isn't your schtick. Much closer to mine.

[And another piece of chicken, going silent as she just looks at him. Yes, she does enjoy the fact that she can talk like this with Batman. Others might treat him like the wrath of God incarnate, but for all his reputation, the Bat is still just a man, all in all.]

So you want to know what's on Blake's mind, then.

[crusaderinacape]

Blake doesn't characteristically target innocents. He's a low priority. That is, until he gets 'all hot-headed and stupid'.

[He levels it with an impersonal monotone. This wasn't like the Joker. The skin's thicker here.]

I want to know what you did to get him so riled. I want to know if you intended for him to pull something like this.
