( does he control himself? clearly not when he's on venom adrenaline. )

Why do you think that is?

[knightowl]

He's young, impulsive. He needs more training. It seems our counterpart put him out there before he was ready to understand what this life entails.

[batsymbol]

You think he'd really do that?

( just throw them to the wolves, more or less. )

[knightowl]

[ Bruce almost doesn't reply. He did it. ]

Yes.

[batsymbol]

Why?

( he hasn't trained any of them himself yet. hasn't even come across a young dick grayson. )

[knightowl]

I can't speak for this Jason's Bruce.

[batsymbol]

Did you?

[knightowl]

This isn't about me.

[batsymbol]

I thought you didn't want me to make the same mistakes you did.

[knightowl]

[ He doesn't answer for a long while. ]

Training any of them is the mistake, Bruce. I had no right to force my crusade on anyone else. Not even Alfred.

If your life is even remotely similar to mine, there's never enough training to prepare them.

[batsymbol]

( he's surprised he even got an answer to that. )

What are you suggesting? I don't? What about Dick? If his parents die and he's left an orphan, I just leave him with someone else?

[knightowl]

If you feel like you can.

[batsymbol]

Is that what you would do if you could do it again?

[knightowl]

[ No. ]

Dick needed someone.

[batsymbol]

So does Jason.

[knightowl]

Then be that for him.

[batsymbol]

I don't know how.

[knightowl]

Neither did I.

[batsymbol]

( well that was helpful. )

Is there anything else I need to know about this Scarecrow?

[knightowl]

He’s a doctor. A psychiatrist and may use it as a cover here.

Be careful, Bruce.

[ with Scarecrow and with Jason ]

[batsymbol]

That's the last thing Gotham needs. Someone like him in the medical field around vulnerable people.

( he's annoyed now. )

[knightowl]

He won't be able to hide who he is for long.

[batsymbol]

Can't help himself?

[knightowl]

Not usually, no.

[batsymbol]

Seems to be a theme.
