I do want you to tell me. Figure of speech. I chose poorly.

[flippin_peachy]

No no, too late.
I'm already on my way over.

[doesntsing]

Oh!

Uh.

Alright. You lucked out. I’m actually alone tonight.

Guess now you can tell me to my face.

[flippin_peachy]

Well that's lucky, isn't it?

Not that it would have stopped me, I just might have had to apologize later to your parents.

Show and tell.

[doesntsing]

[ Thank God they’re not home and her kids are with Joel. Midge is now scrambling to put on something presentable and ends up just throwing a robe over her nightgown. ]

I guess I’ll see you soon.

That will probably be in another month or so, he's really sprouting up.

So far as I know Bruce never made notes when he used to visit his father at work, it was more about him spending time with his Dad than anything. It was only after they died that he started to dig into the company and how it worked.

No, I don't think I would actually.

Special Air Service.

Thanks for moving us, hun! <3

[hawk_shot]

I swear he's grown taller in this time I've been herer in Gotham.

That's still so impressive. Like, he was so young but taking it all so seriously to make his parents proud.
I...
There's something I've been meaning to ask you, now we're talking about that.

[flippin_peachy]

You sure will.

[If she wasn't so flustered she might wonder how he knows exactly where she lives but then again, maybe not. She did give him some details and he is a clever bloke....

Either way, about 20 mins later there's a knock on her front door.]

Anytime 💕

[flippin_peachy]

It was important to him that his father's work didn't get corrupted.

Oh? What's that?

[hawk_shot]

[Kate can see why Bruce would feel that way. It's one of the reasons why she was half-interested in humoring her mom: protecting her and her dad's legacy.

Turns out that the both of them had corrupted it from within.]

Since everything that happened with my mom, people from the company have send me emails and called me. They told me to take my time, that they would take care of things.

But now they kinda want to know if I'm going to be back, if I'm going to be part of the board myself.

[flippin_peachy]

And what are your thoughts about that?

[hawk_shot]

I've been trying my hardest to avoid even thinking about it.

This guy I've been

[No. He's way more than that and she can't keep calling Ed 'the guy she's gone out with' when she talks to Alfred or Bruce.]

My boyfriend says I need to take care of that.

[flippin_peachy]

Why do you think you've been avoiding it?

[theshadowed]

So you're either really confident in your blood pressure, or you've seen some shit.

Pilot, cool. You still fly?

[hawk_shot]

Because it's depressing.
And I don't want to think of my mom and dad right now.

[flippin_peachy]

If you don't mind me saying so, ignoring it won't make it any less painful or depressing.

Trust me.

[flippin_peachy]

Both.

Among other things and no, not anymore.

[hawk_shot]

I just don't feel ready to be part of the board or make any big decisions.
Spend the whole day at the office?

Ed says I can turn mom's office into something else, but that... Feels wrong.

[Shit, the name slipped out.

.... It means nothing. There's gonna be hundreds of Edwards in Gotham.]

[doesntsing]

[ The wheels are turning in her head. She knows that she gave Alfred her phone number, but she doesn't think she gave him her address. Midge only told him that she lives in the Upper West Side. Maybe she should be more worried about him coming over.

Despite the fact that she's expecting him, Midge jumps when he knocks on the door. After checking through the peephole to make sure that it's him, she opens the door. ]

Hey...

[ She lets him in. Midge is wearing her robe, but her hair is still down. Thankfully, their conversation had started before she put her hair in curlers.

They look at each other for a moment, Midge stunned into silence for one of the few times in her life. ]

You're here.

[flippin_peachy]

Are you okay with someone else running the company?

[hawk_shot]

As in selling it or doing it in my name?

It would have to be someone I could trust blindly.

[flippin_peachy]

Yes.

Is there someone you trust like that within the business?

[hawk_shot]

No.
I don't know.

It's like, do you know how sometimes someone will ask you 'what's your favorite book?' and your mind goes blank? And it feels like you've never read a book in your entire life.

[flippin_peachy]

[When she opens the door she will find Alfred looking as sharp as usual, dressed in a heavy tan overcoat and blue turtleneck, a smirk already playing at the corners of his lips.]

Indeed I am.

[Despite her being in a robe his eyes stay on hers as he enters her home.]
