It's a fucking hole- the kid clawed himself out. It- I had senior techs vomiting on the side of the scene, it was that fucking bad."

That's certainly a very strong image... And it seems like there's a lot of anti-Bruce-Wayne prejudice if his son being undead is enough to make people think he's guilty of the murder.

By the by, the links to the first two chapters are broken in the batfic post--extra spaces in the urls.

Thanks, I fixed the URLs.

And it seems like there's a lot of anti-Bruce-Wayne prejudice if his son being undead is enough to make people think he's guilty of the murder.

Usually, when someone dies, their immediate associates are the first suspects. Bruce was the only witness to the murder, he was alone with the body for a time, and it took place in Ethiopia- which is not known for its forensic capabilities. I also figure there are definitely rumors about Bruce and his "thing" for boys, which doesn't really help matters. And no, Detective Lennon isn't really too into Bruce Wayne either.
Lennon is a driven, old-fashioned cop who doesn't like the idea of things impossible to explain. He wants- needs- some kind of explanation for it. And at the moment, Bruce is the easiest scapegoat. There are enough cases of parents murdering their children- and with the lack of evidence and explanations in this case, Bruce is going to become the likely suspect. But Gordon is trying his best to set the detective straight.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, I want more! This is great.

oh das ist so traurig. Jason hat so viel duchgemacht und so viel dafür gegeben um wieder zu leben und nun liegte er im sterben. Aber wenigstens wird nun Bruce benachrichtigt dun wer weis vielicht wird ja doch noch alles wieder gut. Tolle geschichte, weiter so.

[in_excelsis_dea]

Naja, also Bruce wird schon benachrichtigt. Aber die Frage heßt wann und von wem? Weil obwohl eigentlich soll doch Detective Lennon ihm es sagen, Gordon hat schon vor Batman zu kontaktieren und Bruce ist schließlich Batman... Und natürlich, was tut Bruce, nachdem er es erfahren hat?

Und ich sage schon dass Jason nicht stirbt. Die Frage ist eher wann er aufwacht und wie es ihm dann geht...

Vielen Dank fürs Lesen/Kommentar.

Maybe Batman would have some idea about how a kid previously dead is suddenly alive again...

Oooh, yeah, that'll go over well. I can't WAIT to see where this leads! I like Gordon in this fic too, by the way. Even in this short space, you managed to capture his voice. Nice job!

Hmm, yeah, I owe you two chapters by now, don't I? I'll try to have one up TONIGHT. *friendly hugs*

Thanks for the read,

Thanks! First time writing Gordon, so I'm glad I pulled it off. And yeah, learning about Jason is going to go over real well...

Yes, you owe me two chapters and it's been over a day since you posted... *taps foot* I'm waiting. *grins* *returns hugs*

Good God... everytime I finish one of these chapters, I feel like I'm sinking, I feel blue. I know it doesn't sound pretty much like a compliment but... it is. This fanfic of yours punches me so hard. You are damn good, ya know? *light smile*

Wondering if Bruce will really come to know about Jay...

Wondering if Bruce will really come to know about Jay...

He will... the question is just when and from whom he finds it out from. Weird sentence.

And thanks! I'm glad you like it and it affects you- that's always my way of telling if something is good or not. I feel like I've done my job with the fic if it leaves you feeling blue and sinking and stuff. So I'm very glad to hear it. I think I'd have to wonder if you were feeling upbeat after reading this...

[vespertila]

I always feel perfectly fine before reading your fics :D

[in_excelsis_dea]

Before.
