M. ' you can’t ignore it forever. memories always come back. '
bruce's body sinks into cushions , and his head leans back upon the soft pillows of a chair that resides in a wing of the white house that was JFK's favorite. ' does any of this get to you ? ' bruce soft with wording as he looks up at the crown molding that harkens back to days that are older than the both of them put together. ' i mean ... ' he pauses , they've known one another for quite some time - the waynes giving to luna's first campaign as thomas wayne and oscar diaz had old ties. politics , it's never something bruce had designed his life for. in fact ? he can barely handle the weight of the wayne namesake. ' it's heavy ... you're at georgetown , i'm at princeton ' bruce then opening an eye and glaring at alex , ' just so we're clear i'm not going to follow in my old man's footsteps ' the words lighter upon tongue , he supposes it's because he's out of gotham. away from the limelight , allowed to live a life of normalcy as he settled comfortably into being a band's guitarist , and balancing courses.
' i can feel it sometimes ... ' bruce is careful with words , to curb emotion , and to be leery about mentioning a place that is shrouded with so much grief. in truth ? he can feel the hairs on neck stand at attention , gotham always a moment away. his grief never forgotten. it settles somewhere within his very heart - yet ? it is never confronted.

alex's voice , devoid of the well earned ego that has come from the knowledge that he is one of the brightest brings some much needed sense. bruce then blinks , his eyes remaining close just a moment longer as he pushes past memories , ' hmm speaking like a true politician ' the corners of mouth curve upwards , and he then goes to bring head head out of current position and blue eyes focus upon the other , ' sometimes you have moments of wisdom '
