It wasn't a lie, it was a broken promise. I can't lie about something that hasn't happened yet.
[Frustrated, that much is clear, and honestly, the more he thinks about it, the more irrational he feels. So maybe Hush deserved it, but he's so angry. So angry. He feels unsafe in a way he hadn't felt unsafe in a long time.]
But if he decided to impersonate my father, then he deserved to be shot with his own gun.
[She can't imagine what it'd be like to have your father (that you actually elevate above everyone else) turned into a joke by someone like Hush, to go for months living with him, tolerating him... she knows Damian is pissed off and hurt, but she can't excuse what he just did.]
It still messed up the trust I had in you.
[She puts the gun on the nearby dresser, not enjoying the feel of it in her hands.]
Kate and I were going to handle it. You could have killed him, Damian. And then what?

[ okay, so weirder things have happened. things like your two best friends showing up looking like crap and bringing up that bruce wayne was actually not him this entire tim? totally happens.
but she's still trying to make sense of it. why would someone pose as bruce? there's a billion questions she has, but she doesn't know how to approach them for answers. with stephanie around, she can't even ask if damian is alright. she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable around others. ]
[Steph did her best to smile at the door, explain (some) things calmly, but the longer and longer she's here, sitting, not doing anything, the more she's slipping towards broody. Brooding. She's quiet, staring out the window and occasionally glancing over to wherever Uru and Damian are, or to her journal.
[He just looks moody. The Damian thing to do when experiencing too many conflicting feelings is to shut down and look sour, and pretend that he's feeling nothing at all. It's easier -- and less exhausting -- than bothering to deal with his feelings. He let Steph do the talking.]
[ ugh, what does she say. steph looks anxious and broody and that means damian's mood is a billion times as worse. can't say she blames him, though. that's another father figure gone.
worse, he was never here to begin with.
there's a long pause before she pipes up, sounding casual and cheery like nothing's wrong. ]
Hey, Steph? I'm out of some things in the home. Do you think you could go and buy some stuff?

He tricked us. He lied to us. Don't tell me he didn't deserve a lot worse than what you and Batwoman were willing to dish out.

You know that's not how we do things.
