Once More With Feeling [recorded]

[darkknightfall]

[So, Batman's escaped Ivy, but, when he returned, he was still fairly drugged and exhausted, both physically and mentally. He used a syringe of SOMETHING to counteract the effects of the poisons and drugs he has in his body, but it didn't act fast enough to protect him from regressing when he saw Haruhi's entry. So... Have a Kid!Bruce, from before

oh my gawd D8 djaskljdakl COME WITH ME

[chainsaw_juliet]

Oh! Oh sweetheart... Where are you? Are you safe? I'll come fetch you immediately!

HE JUST MIGHT. BUT BE AWARE THAT JOKER AND HARLEY ARE PROBABLY GOING TO "ADOPT" HIM

[darkknightfall]

[a startled squeak-- yes, kiddy!Bruce squeaks, spoiled rich kid that he is, manly, isn't it?-- as he hears a voice come from the book, and a clattering as it falls to the ground before he cautiously picks it up]

T-This book... talks?

But... Mom said this kind of magic doesn't really exist...

Um... Well...

[a pause as he glances around]

H-hello, Mr. Book...?

dgajkdash NOOOO

[chainsaw_juliet]

This book is like...like a telephone! So hello sweetheart, my name is Grell. What's yours?

I don't want you wandering about all alone, poor thing...Tell me where you are-?

>D Evil Mun likes Muse Torture FAAAAR too much

[darkknightfall]

G-Grell?

I'm B-Bruce and... I... don't really know where I am...

This doesn't look like the manor... This... doesn't look like Gotham at all. But I'm... inside somewhere. It... looks like someone's been living here...

[fuego_bailando]

Don't be scared! We're in the magic toilet city!

[recorded]

[darkknightfall]

Another voice? Does that mean another person?

I, um... Magic... Toilet... City...?

That doesn't even sound like a good story.

Re: [recorded]

[fuego_bailando]

Yeah! Well it's not really a toilet city, it's called Rivelata! But its magic here and there's lots of people with superpowers and stuff.

I'm Eric, who are you?

[recorded]

[darkknightfall]

[perks up a little; it's clear he's interested in this]

Oooh. You mean like the Green Lantern and the Flash and the Justice Society?

I'm Bruce.

[OOC: Yes, he is referring to Alan Scott and Jay Garrick, for those keeping track.]

Max says: *facepalm*

[nixe_eva]

Syringe?

Listen, are you hurt at all?

This will sound weird, but you call yourself 'Clark Kent' here, understand?

[strikes blacked out after a few seconds]

[darkknightfall]

[written in shaky, but somewhat neat handwriting. After all, Alfred wouldn't let him get away with messy handwriting.]

Yes. I... I think someone used it on me, but I'm not sure why. It's empty now.

Yes... There are lots of places on my arms and legs and body where it feels like there were thorns in me... there aren't any still there... but it hurts. I wish my dad was here. He's a doctor... he'd take care of me.

You say that like I've been here for a while. Am I supposed to know you?

lying. through. her. teeth.

[nixe_eva]

It'll be okay. I bet your dad would help you out. He's probably a really great guy too.

You may or might not. I'm Max. If you get hurt or anything, just go ahead and ask me for help, alright?

[Max's thoughts: Syringes are bad mojo, but reassurance is necessary for a kidling. Your dad is dead, but there's no way I'm telling a kid that. Also, I'm not sure whether you died and came back as a kid or this Haruhi's version of a joke.]

<3 Yeah. When Bruce gets back to normal, he's... not going to be happy about this

[darkknightfall]

He's... He's a good doctor.

[A good man, yes. A good dad? Not so much. Never had much time for his family.]

I... don't understand. But okay.

Do I really have to say I'm "Clark"?

[bomba_del_sesso]

...Alfred?

[recorded]

[darkknightfall]

[a little calmer now, thanks to Grell and "Eric"]

Mhm. He's our butler. He usually takes care of me when Mom's busy and Dad's at work. Which is a lot.

[bomba_del_sesso]

Your...name wouldn't be Bruce, would it?

[recorded]

[darkknightfall]

... It is.

[his voice is suddenly a little more suspicious, Mommy and Daddy told him about kidnappers.]

How did you know that?

[thegoddamnjoker]

[recorded]

[darkknightfall]

That's a scary picture...
