JL: Nightwing! It’s a delight to see you! You should come by more often.

Nightwing: Thank you! I’m so sorry, work has been piling up on me but I’ll try to drop by the office party this Sunday.

JL: Ofcourse! Looking forward to seeing you there. By the way, is Batman coming late?

Nightwing: No, I’ll be filling in for him today.

JL: Did something happen?

Nightwing: Nothing much, he’s just grounded.

JL: ???

Dick: Bruce, I’m telling you now and we’ve had this conversation before but you need to build a better rapport with your children. They look up to you as a father figure and your actions influence their behavior.

Bruce: …hmrgh

Dick: And you might not be aware but you unconconscious behavior is damaging. Tim has picked up your terrible habit of constantly working in front of a screen-it’s going to strain his eyes. He’s always inside too, so you need to make him go outside more. I’m not always here, I have an entire city to run, the titans need me, I'm mentoring hundreds of heroes, the Justice League calls on me to help them, and I need to keep up with my social life. The people in Bludhaven where I teach and work also call me if I’m gone for a day-the point is-I can’t always be playing second parent here in Gotham.

Bruce: ……hmrgh

Dick: Damian always looks up to you

Bruce: *side eyes*

Dick: He does! See you don’t even realize it! He wants to make you proud and Jason gets mad when you don’t make time for him because he cares too. Stephanie doesn’t have a dad she can turn to and it would mean the world to her if you took her out to an amusement park or something. When was the last time you spent time with her.

Bruce: ….hmrgh

Dick: And-

1 hour later

Dick: -that’s why you need to stop working, go to them right now, and bond with them.

Bruce:

Dick:

Bruce: ……...hmrgh

Dick: I’m waiting.

Bruce: *dragging himself off the batcave chair and begrudgingly trudging upstairs under Dick’s watchful eye*

Bruce: *listening to the sounds of his kids in the living room and pumping himself up* Better relationships mean better teamwork. Better relationships mean better teamwork. Better relationships mean better teamwork. And Dick. Do it for him.

Bruce: *entering* *clearing his throat* Children. We will be going-

*The living room is in utter chaos. The cushions are strewn and ripped with stuffing coating the couches and floor which for some reason is stained yellow, the flower vase is shattered and so is the table it was sitting on, there’s string confetti on the chandelier, there’s spray paint and neon goo across the walls and in Tim’s hair, Jason has deep claw marks down his face as he wrestles with Damian who’s sporting massive bruise on his cheek and trying his hardest to bite him, Stephanie is dunking Tim’s face in a tub of soda which splashed everywhere while he’s ripping out Jason’s hair and also trying to kick Damian with his foot, the tv has massive spiderwebs and looping on tellatubies like a broken record machine, Titus is spitting out a feather while a random goose runs around honking while Alfred the cat chases after it at full speed, knocking down decades old paintings.*

Bruce:

Bruce:

Bruce:

Bruce: *rolling up his sleeves and stomping forward to join the fight* HMRGH.

The NHL has asked me to do stuff for them, whether that be social media, or interviews, or little promo things here and there, and I've always been willing to do it. And I kinda have been like their flag-bearer a little bit, like the token gay that they're kind of using to show that hockey is for everyone even though they're doing stuff on the outside that's completely opposite. So it felt like a stab in the back, a little bit, from them.

Those who commit acts of violence are surely responsible for them; they are not dupes or mechanisms of an impersonal social force, but agents with responsibility. On the other hand, these individuals are formed, and we would be making a mistake if we reduced their actions to purely self-generated acts of will or symptoms of individual pathology of 'evil'.

Emily: “-okay, how about this one- I was thinking I could start an ‘angel of the millennium’ award. Put up pictures, plaques, really show off a good example for heaven to follow. Inspire them a little! Thoughts?”

Vaggie: “Better you than me.”

Emily: “No it REALLY has to be you and YOUR picture.”

Vaggie: “Okay, I think that’s a not so great idea.”

Emily: “Why?”

Vaggie: “Pretty sure that’d mostly just inspire burning rage in half of heaven's highest ups.”

Emily: “Only half? Drat.”

Vaggie: “The other half probably already wants me dead, so…”

Vaggie: “….uh, sweetie? You okay over there?”

Demon Charlie: “Fine! Juuuuuuuust having a little chat with one of your former employers, don’t mind us!”

Vaggie: “You sure?”

Demon Charlie: “Yep! We’re having a wonderful talk, right Lute?”

Lute: “HHHRRRK”

Demon Charlie: “See?” (cheerfully squeezing the arm around lute’s neck) “We’re doing SWELL!”

Vaggie: “Sure, babe…”

Vaggie: (at emily) “She’s killing her.”

Emily: “Lightly strangling.”

Vaggie: “Not great for the haven-hell peace thing you're trying to do. Are you gonna step in and stop her..?”

Emily: “Oh no- I was waiting for you to…”

Vaggie: “I know I should but I can’t.”

Emily: “You don’t want to?”

Vaggie: “I don’t want to.”

Emily: “Kinda a nice view?”

Vaggie: “I’m watching my girlfriend make a squeaky toy out of the woman who cut out my eye, so yeah, very.”

Emily: “I’ll give it another five minutes then.”

The fundamental question of philosophy (like that of psychoanalysis) is the same as the question of the detective novel: who is guilty?

Captain Marvel whenever he needs to drive any vehicle: I don't know what to do, there's a little voice inside of me saying "This is a bad idea!" But I can barely hear that little voice because an even louder little voice is screaming "LET THE 12 YEAR OLD DRIVE!!!"
