Well, I'm back.

What did I miss?

[OOC: there'll be an article running tonight on the NV discussing Jack's kidnap/Black Mask's involvement/Batman's suspected help. If you want your character to have read this, go right ahead-- or not! EITHER WAY.]

Anything I can bring you then? Warm socks?

[He won't argue. He does understand sometimes you just aren't ok.]

[He smiles despite himself.]

I'm all right. I'm gonna go home soon and then . . . I'll be fine. Thanks, though.

You're welcome.

[An internal sigh, because of course he's all right and he'd be fine]

I know you will be. I have the uttermost faith in you to survive.

Yeah. That's what I'm damn best at. Survivin.

[A pause.]

You read the news?

You are.

[He shakes his head slightly.]

I haven't no.

They used me blood for a drug. Kept pullin' it outta me so others could heal.

I see.

[Tense and quiet.]

Just so you know. They arrested the man behind it.

[His tone doesn't change.]

Good for them. Who is taking care of you here?

Sirius.

[A beat.]

Daedalus too, I guess.

Reply

makes_asteroids December 18 2011, 08:35:10 UTC
Good.

[He trusts Daedalus to medically care for Jack, and he trusts Sirius to take care of Jack. Which he is going to need, whether he admits it or not.]

Would it be all right if I patted you on the back, just to reassure myself this is real?

Reply

cowboy_newsie December 20 2011, 14:32:53 UTC
Sure.

[He shrugs again, listlessly.]

[He gently lays a hand on Jack's back, trying not to flinch at how thin he is. He can't quite supress a slight shaking in his hand, a desire to scoop up the boy, his boy and take him home to take care of, nor the desire to hunt down Black Mask and teach him a through lesson on touching one of his people. He's lost too many for that not to be instinct. Even if he knows he can't do the former - or the latter right now.]

Do you want to walk or do you want me to find us a couple of chairs?
