Not even Edward is sure why his first reaction is to laugh. For the first time, he wonders if every time Bruce Batman talks to him and tries to insult or hurt him, he is really speaking to himself, to the man that he is but refuses to embrace, to the man that he could have been if he had not inherited daddy’s company and wealth.
❝ Oh, but that was precisely what I was aiming for, Mr. Vengeance. ❞ A name that no longer applies to him, apparently, but it had once defined him, whether the other man wants to admit it or not. ❝ I have nothing in my life that I don’t wish to ruin... or at least that I don’t care if it got ruined. ❞ No attachments, not to people or even things. ❝ It is said that Nero burned Rome down to build a new one. Just like so, from my ruin... a new you was born. A hero. The riddle is... how many have you ruined to become who you are? How many are you going to ruin to fight crime behind that mask? ❞
