[Chiraptora: For Bryce Wayne]

The book launch Dinah so much wanted to go to is taking place in the ballroom of the Gotham Hilton, and the guest list is long and illustrious enough to warrant a large media presence in front of the hotel lobby, parting occasionally to let cars arrive.

It's into this crowd that Dinah, dressed to impress in red, with impressive slits up both sides, pulls her matching red Ferrari. She grins at the snapping photographers, pulls on her heels while still sitting in the convertible, and offers the keys to the valet who opens the door.

Then she offers a hand to her passenger, because coming out of this door will still be easier than fighting the other side.

. . . Bryce is just going to shake her head and sip her coffee.

And see if she can avoid the subject of what her 25-year-old self thought of Henri Ducard at times.

"Not to the point of almost marrying them."

And the disastrous date with Jim Moriarty wasn't really a date with him. Just disastrous all around.

She shakes her head.

"Haven't heard the name."
gothamsheiress: (pick yourself up again)

. . . Bryce blinks at her, disconcerted. There is a lot to unpack there.

"Talia? That one I'm sure I don't know."

A daughter.

He has -- had -- a daughter.

And in this world, Bruce had a child with her.

"Did he know who she was?"
gothamsheiress: (didn't you get the memo?)

Well. Note to self: schedule a follow-up about that IUD, just in case in her world, Ra's had a son.

"All due respect to my counterpart," wryly, "he might have you beat in the doing completely stupid things category."
gothamsheiress: (what I do that defines me)

Bryce frowns.

"That's horrific. They're kids. Training them as assassins--" She shakes her head, her fingers tightening on her cup.

"Sorry." She sighs. "Obviously you know."
gothamsheiress: (the hero Gotham deserves)

[personal profile] gothamsheiress 2012-10-31 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's good."

Bryce knows how inescapable the League's training can be, though, and she can only imagine it's more intense for a child. What kind of lives they'll lead--

Well. They'll lead better lives here than there. That's the important thing.

--That must be how she looks when she's talking on the Suit's radio.

She raises her eyebrows, sips her coffee, and waits.

Bryce shakes her head.

"I'm the last person who'll stop you if you -- need to work," she says quietly.
