Stephanie's Journal: In the Clear
"...and he took Bane down by himself. The GCPD came by right after and took him away. He's done."
"That boy took that monster on all by himself? W-what's his name again?"
"Tim. He defeated bane at his full strength. That's what Tim said, anyway. He told me about how Bane looked all deformed and his skin changed an unnatural color and stuff. Sounded gross."
"Tim....that boy's amazing. I'm happy you found him. You deserve someone like him."
"Thanks, Daddy."
"I'm happy for you too. I've done everything in the book to ruin you and you're a hero. I know last time I asked this and it didn't end well, and I still don't really deserve it, but....can you give your dirtbag of an old man another chance? Can he have something live for?"
"Of course. And you have alot to live for, daddy. Mom said she's coming here later tonight."
"Crystal....."
*CRREEEK*
"That wasn't very stealthy..."
"I wasn't trying to be."
"Oh....B-Bruce, when I flipped out in the cave a few days ago...it was inexcusable. You were right, I was too angry like you said. I-I should have listened to you. I'm sorry... I just--"
"Enough. It's all over. I have enough things to worry about. This, werewolves, and now Bane's probably facing the death penalty."
"Whoa. Really?"
"I just got back from the GCPD. They interrogated Bane and he spilled everything. How he kidnapped Arthur, used him as cover, had his men murder those people at Gotham Liberty, and then nearly got Arthur killed. Apparently the sick bastard was smiling through the whole interrogation... "
"But...my dad's clear now, right? Bane confessed, so all charges against him--"
"Are dropped as far as I can tell. You're a free man, Arthur."
"Thank you....Am I fired, though."
"Alfred hates mowing the lawn."
"I've got you...don't worry."
"Oh Arthur...what have you done this time?"
"Crystal?"
"Mom! Everyone's here now, even--"
....gone. Classic, Bruce. Classic.
