Wow, that was a fast update-- I'm going to have to get a move on! ^__~

Hmm... this is going to be interesting. I REALLY want to see Bruce's reaction when the police fill him in (and/or interrogate him). I also really like how (unlike what Batman would probably do) these people accept that this in NO logical way can be explained-- its a miracle, or magic, or fate, or superheroes. But its not, as the Doctor reflects, anything scientific.

Veeeeeery interesting. I also wonder if, in this world, Jason will be anywhere NEAR as bitter about the Joker not being dead.

Can't wait to see how this all plays out! Best of luck and may the Jason-writing gods be with you (...but not ONLY with you. I need them too...)

Well...I sort of already have the first couple of chapters written out on paper. This fic is what got me through a two hour Physical Chemistry lecture a couple of weeks ago... Plus the chapters are short. So yeah, it doesn't take long to write at the moment, because I'm basically typing up what I already wrote, changing it a bit and posting it immediately afterwards...

You still owe me an update, though. *coughs* *glares*

Next chapter. I think.

Heh, yes. Lennon- the cop- doesn't want to accept it, but he knows he has to. After all, how else can you explain someone, who's been dead for six months, to suddenly claw themselves out of their grave? It's a

Eeee. Hows he going to get sane here? ...if he does XD.

[in_excelsis_dea]

...if he does

VERY wise of you. Because it's not exactly a given, is it?

Thanks for the reply!

I love this! The doctors are intelligent and can actually just figure things out! Like detectives almost! It's a pleasant change from the "Bats are detectives" & "Civilians are imbeciles" separation that sometimes occures in storytelling.

I also love how they're attached to Jacen and want to find his family, but are scared that his family had something to do with his condition. Excellent work here, can't wait to see more from ya! ^_^

Bats are brilliant detectives. But civillians can have forensic training too. I, for one, definitely plan on going into forensics after I get my B.Sc. in Chemistry, and right now I'm debating between going into forensic pathology or just plain old forensic Chemistry. So I'm a big fan of the "normal people can be detectives too" idea.

I figure that in such a situation, they don't really know what to think. They have a kid who, by all logical reasoning, should be dead. His death happened overseas in a land that's not exactly known for it's legal system. Something easily could have happened there- like Bruce, for instance, murdering Jason (not something he would ever do, but Lennon and Addison don't know that). On the other hand, Superman was a witness. On the other hand, Lennon, at least, isn't too into trusting the "tights". It's a very complicated and confusing situation and there's

Oops. I didn't mean to spell "Jason" as "Jacen". I guess I had Jacen Solo in the back of my mind when I was spelling it out. Wrong character, different fandom, sorry. But as I was saying...great conflicting emotions with the doctors. Even when they have a lot more information than before, they're still at a loss for what to do.

[in_excelsis_dea]

Heh, no prob. I like Jacen Solo too, though I don't read much EU. I much prefer the OT and PT and all my fics are Before the Saga or during the Saga themselves. But Jacen is cool.

Though I think Jay's cooler. *grins*

It was painful when I read the Annual, this is... heart-rending, really. Maybe I'm just a sick fangrrl, but what Jason passed trough... and to read it, as he speaks it in first person... dear. It's powerful.

Good job ;-)

[in_excelsis_dea]

Thank you.

I read the annual before I really was into Jason. So while a couple of scenes made me wince (digging out of the grave, for instance), I wasn't that affected. Then I totally became obsessed with Jason and I can barely stand to read it to look up facts for the fic. The Annual is just full of tragedy. Which is why I decided that I needed to do something to fix it.

Then again, I'm not necessarily promising a happy ending for this either...

Well, I guess so. Happy ending just doesn't fit with Jay, does it?
(And still I wish he could have one).

[in_excelsis_dea]

Well, I'm not going to kill him off or anything. At least I highly doubt it. But basically- I'm going to be realistic about it. He has horrible injuries, is now in a coma and if/when he wakes up, he's not going to be completely cured and ready to go out and fight crime. He's got a long road ahead of him and while eventually he may return to his "normal" self and be completely cured- it's not going to be for awhile.

And I agree- while happy endings and Jay don't really mix- it would be so nice...

...Maybe I'll have to somehow write one. If I can figure out a way to do so...

[chaos__chan]

jer the next chaper *happy*. poor Jay. I hope the doktors will call Bruce and that Bruce dont thinkt that its a trick. I hope he will just be ther vor Jason. he needs it.

[in_excelsis_dea]

Thank you for the comment!

Bruce will find out about Jason soon. Jason does really need him, but there are certain factors that are in the way.

BTW- you're German, right? I glanced at your profile and remember seeing that. If you want to, you can review in German- I'm pretty much fluent. Live here and all. Then again, if you want to keep practicing English, that's totally fine with me. Whatever's easiest for you. *grins*

[chaos__chan]

danke wobei bei mein deutsch fast genau so schlecht ist wie mein englisch . Wegen meiner Legastenie mache ich tausend rechtschreibfehler aber wen ich englisch schreibe kann ich es wenigstens auf meine mangelnden sprachkenntnisse schieben ^^. Bist du auch deutsche oder kommst du aus einen anderen Land und studirst hir?

[in_excelsis_dea]

Heh. Kenne ich. Ich hasse Rechtschreibung und wie es sich immer wieder verändert. Und wir sollen lieber nicht über meinem Grammatik reden.*g*

Ich bin in Los Angeles gebornen, aber mein Stiefvater ist deutsch und als ich vierzehn war, entschied er, dass er wieder nach Deutschland wollte. Also sind wir dahin gezogen. Ich bin in der 8. Klasse in Thüringen reingezogen, könnte aber kein Deutsch. Musste es eben nebenbei lernen- auch Latin, aber ich hab's geschafft. Ich habe in Baden-Würtemberg mein Abi gemacht und studiere jetzt Chemie in Berlin. Also bin ich eigentlich Ausländer, aber meine Familie wohnt in Pforzheim und ich bin nicht als Auslandstudentin gesehen, sondern als eine ganz gewöhnliche Deutsche.
