@LotusOfViolence “Do what you must. And when he is ready, /then/ you can bring him here for the trials.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

@LotusOfViolence “He is not here. He is in Gotham. His resolve…has been fading. He no longer extinguishes the flames of degeneracy. Simply applying a bandaid to the cancer, much like his mentor.”

Ra’s said without a single change in tone, walking past Shiva.-

@LotusOfViolence “@BrutalProtector. Test him. Train him. Do what you must to prepare him for the Demon’s Trials. Ben’s grown..fond of Jason Todd from previous years. I do not need someone holding back.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

@LotusOfViolence “They are not my trainees. Have not been in some time, since even the Detective I might say. These are your trainees. Ben’s trainees. Slade’s once in a blue moon.”

He finally turned to her, the Demon’s eyes emotionless as he looked upon her.-

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

“I am simply a man thinking.” Ra’s still looked on as Bronze Tiger dominated the trainees one after another.

“I assume things in Prague went smoothly with your…finer touch?”

[Bekka @LotusOfViolence]

"I don’t waste time on words that don’t end in action."

A brief pause, then eyes flick back to Ra's, sharper now.

"But if your ‘philosophy’ leads somewhere real, then speak."

[Bekka @LotusOfViolence]

"𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞."

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

“Have you?” The man simply asked as he turned his attention to the courtyard where members are training.

“Unless you deem speaking philosophical words with me worthy of your time?”

[Bekka @LotusOfViolence]

A faint, humorless smile touches the assassin’s lips, there and gone like a blade in low light.

"Ra's al Ghul, You greet me as if I’ve come seeking something."

[Bane. @BornlnDarkness]

RISE OF BANE.

Ubu, Ra’s most trusted advisor, delivers the intel that the Kobra Cult has been apparently dissolved.

“How?”

Ra’s asked and Ubu only said one thing. One name.

‘Bane.’

[Bekka @LotusOfViolence]

"To see every flaw, every line, every imperfection under unforgiving light that is truth. And truth is the only place where anything real can exist."

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

“Lady Shiva.” The Demon states, acknowledging her words and presence with a nod.

“Gotham is a foul place.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence. Time and distance blur the edges; then suddenly the beloved has arrived, and it's noon with its merciless light, and every spot and pore and wrinkle and bristle stands clear.

—Margaret Atwood.

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥. @TheDemonOfTime]

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

— Arthur Schopenhauer

[Batman. @ResolutePaIadin]

Ra’s taught him much, but never changed his goal.

[Jason Todd. @BrutalProtector]

He’s been off the grid for a few days, still thinking of @TheDemonOfTime’s offer.

[Jason Todd. @BrutalProtector]

His daughter does not agree with him, but it is reassuring that she defends his honor.
