Aw. I really loved the way you portrayed the Gordon/Bats relationship. It's as fantastically trusting as I love to see it be.
They're... something else. They really are. *thinks about Bat-ness, and Jim-ness, and nods*
*Nods.* That's my Bruce, as I like him to be - so very self aware of when things are his fault. Of course, this isn't - at least not for the reasons he suspects - but the Batman I know and love carries extra responsiblity on his shoulders, even when it doesn't belong there. Because well, Spidey and Uncle Ben told us why.
That's my Bruce, too... and YES, Uncle Ben did tell us why.
Oh, poor Connor. Poor Kyle. *hugs Kyle tightly.* Also, can Obsidian still be bad and kill someone? Because I think it might be in order. No? Oh, well.
*hugs them, too* Ask Filly. She's writing the JSA.
The whole scene between Connor and Batman was very well done. It had the definite vibe of younger hero/venerable hero, but because it's Connor, it wasn't worshipful (the only person he does that with is Ollie) and was perfect.
Thank you! You're right, Connor is only worshipful with his own father.
Likewise, I adored how Batman kept racing against the clock to notify everyone before the news could. Oh, Bruce.
Oh, Bruce covers it nicely, yes.
And, oh, YES, to the Jason Blood.
I like Jason. He's effing cool.
OH, Bruce, again, you make me love you. Thank you for having him realize that this is *very* professional for a teenage girl. It's not something that canon would have done, but this feels far more true to a man that has taken in and raised two teenagers at this point than what canon would have made him do.
*kicks canon!Bruce, and loves on her Bat* You're welcome, because he certainly did.
And this is where I started to cry. Because, god, poor Alan. I can just *see* him knowing that Batman's presence knew something bad had happened - years of experience wouldn't let him believe anything else - but looking to Courtney for reassurance that he was wrong. And not.receiving.any.
Here? You started here? oh, wow. I... yes, exactly, you get it.
Oh, Alan. / And you give great Molly, too, btw.
I fluttered and fretted and freaked at Filly so much over this, because I really don't know them all that well... So this means a TON to me.
I can believe it, Bruce. I can believe it, because I've read A Death in the Family and The Killing Joke. I can believe it because I know that Dick's disappearance amidst all of this has to be ripping you apart.
Disbelievingly, I *hug Bruce.*
Yeah. ADitF and KJ and Dick... that's why I wrote that, because it really, truly is. Oh my god. I made you hug Bruce. I win at life.
"Stargirl hovering anxiously next to them, attempting to glare at him." /*g* This is so very her.
It is, really? Effing A!
And this? Is where I started to sob. Uncontrollably. I had to stop and recompose myself before I continued on.
*hugs you* I'm... sorry?
Yeah, I love me some Alan Scott. You write him so well here - consumed by grief, but duty comes first - , and it keeps ripping out my heart, every time I re-read this.
I... I am so, so glad that my portrayal of him worked, b/c like I said, I really don't know him, but... this fit what little I did know.

OW. Just OW.
Um, yeah. I wanted to hug him so much.
