m. ❛ i’ll be anything you want me to be . ❜ / @4ger
this phrase had oftentimes been uttered , those who uttered said words his way were oftentimes met with a look that was blank and somewhat suspicious. from a tender age he had known that there were those who only aimed to get exactly what they wanted by placating whatever the youngest heir asked for. boarding school was a learning experience , the media adding their own cruel twist on the fact that ? he was loved for the billions he had.
now , in a room that overlooks gotham center city he hears eames utter the words that from anyone else would cause a sharp tongue , and words that were dipped in disgust. instead , bruce allows the smallest laugh - the pair of them working together , - ' are you that jaded eames ? ' though humor sits and his brow cocks , ' apparently you and i are used to being bought ... or perhaps , hmm how do i word this - ' a pause taken for dramatic affect , ' being exactly what others want us to be ' bruce stands , and reaches for ipad. ' can't say you're wrong in saying such a thing , your talent is extraordinary while mine ? mine is just money '
i wonder if he's been tracked down , and while i plan to recruit him for my own cause i know what it's like to be needed for a mere transaction. business has made me wiser , though the pull of another (one who lingers in moonlight) has taught me compassion , and the idea that nothing is what it seems. there are those who think that having a softness about you is weak - i prefer to think of it as courage. an outright defiance of gotham herself. turning to windows i see her fingerprints upon glass. watching as she does , and my duplicity has become easier. i allow parts to become whole. between us , there are no lies and if we are to work together i prefer to keep it that way.
' tell me , how much were you paid for your last job ? '
