If I ask him to go he'll only stay and be mad at me. Trust me, so far my record is 100% people being mad at me when I'm trying to help. And before you ask, yes, I have tried not being a brat.

[jumpthegun]

I wasn't going to ask that, Stephanie.

[They're being civil and serious right now.]

Batman usually works alone. Would Mr. Wayne be willing to take the fall for you here? Get away from Al with the Joker and tell him it's for his own good?

[spoileralert]

[ He would have thought it though. She knows he would have. ]

He likes to think so, anyway.

I don't know. I don't think he'd lie for me. He tried to convince me that it isn't worth it making friends here, that it would just cloud my judgment or something. He's not exactly wrong.

[jumpthegun]

So, he just snaps up impressionable young boys for his Robin who don't cloud his judgement? Right.

[Honestly, this is why he likes Marvel more, Steph.]

I'll try talking to Mr. Wayne. I don't know that I can convince him of anything, but I can try.

And he's only half-right Steph. Friends cloud your judgment, but they are absolutely still worth making, even if it's difficult for some people. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. They've just got a hell of a lot of baggage they're bringing into things.

[spoileralert]

I know. Being alone clouded my judgment way more.

Thank you, Mr. Watson. I'll do better next time. I'll try.

[jumpthegun]

You can just call me John, Steph. Take care of yourself, and try not to worry yourself into a panic, okay?

[spoileralert]

I'll try. You take care of yourself too, John.
