I haven't done it enough and never on my own.

At least your mom couldn't have a better son.

[flippin_peachy]

So what you're saying is you need some practice and maybe a tutor.

That's sweet of you to say.

[hawk_shot]

...
Yeah. Yeah, maybe something like that could work.
I don't wanna face the board and feel on my own.

I mean it.
I don't have many men in my life but in a short time you've become pretty important to me, Alfred.

[flippin_peachy]

That's understandable and if you need help I think I know who could tutor you.

I know you do but I wasn't a perfect son. I loved my Mum but I made plenty of mistakes.

You're important to me as well.

[hawk_shot]

... You do? you actually know someone who could help me?

It's hard to imagine you being less than perfect, but I'm not gonna argue with you.

It's crazy that I didn't even know you existed until some months ago. And you...
You've known about me my whole life.

[flippin_peachy]

I do, he's a good friend and knows a lot about how companies work. He's worked at Wayne enterprises for many years, his name is Lucius Fox.

I am very far from being perfect, Kate.

I'm just glad I finally got to meet you face to face.

[hawk_shot]

That... That actually sounds perfect and exactly what I need. Specially if you and Bruce recommend him.
You think I could hire him to like, learn about the company and help me out?

Well, you give pretty awesome advice. Can you at least take that compliment?

I'm sorry I was such a little shit when we first met.

[flippin_peachy]

I not only highly recommend him but I trust him.
I think it would be better if you learned about the company and pinpointed any aspects about it that you're unclear on or need guidance on how to navigate.

That I can.

No apology necessary.

[hawk_shot]

You're like my british fairy godfather, did you know that?
I've been kicking myself for weeks about that, trying to ignore it and afraid of eve thinking about it and suddenly its like you fixed it all up for me. And gave me a plan.

I owe you big time.
For this.
For everything.

[flippin_peachy]

I've been called a lot of things in my life but never that. It's nice though and I'm happy to help in any way I can, Kate.

[hawk_shot]

Well, get used to that and more. Because you're stuck with me and I consider you family already.

[flippin_peachy]

I consider it an honor to be considered that.

[hawk_shot]

Just as I consider it an honor to have a Christmas sock of my own at Bruce's place.

Seriously, you guys made me feel so incredibly welcomed from day one.
And you Alfred. Since we met you went the extra mile for me.

[flippin_peachy]

I hope you found it to your liking, I made sure it was purple.

Well of course, your Mum was always very special to me so it stands to reason you should be to.

[hawk_shot]

See? You spoil me.

Even when I was a total brat when we first met?

[flippin_peachy]

You weren't that bad, I've dealt with much worse.

[hawk_shot]

Really?

Because I look back at that first time we met (me being super late included) and all I can think of is how much you must love my mom to have put up with all of that.

[flippin_peachy]

Well you've met Selina.

[That's an accurate turn of phrase considering his past with her Mum....]

It didn't take you that long to drop the attitude.

[hawk_shot]

Okay, yeah, I'm not going to argue that point.

Thankfully. I would feel like SHIT now if I had been even worse than I was.

[flippin_peachy]

Didn't think so.

You were fine, in fact your attitude reminded me a bit of your Mum's when she was young so mostly it was just amusing to me.

[hawk_shot]

I saw Bruce with her on the streets the other day. I didn't want to interrupt.

...
How was my mom when she was younger?
Aside from someone who apparently dressed as the condom fairy.

[flippin_peachy]

That's probably wise, he's still shy about his feelings for her even though they're as subtle as a brick wall.

She was a spitfire.
Strong, determined and wicked smart.

[hawk_shot]

Wait a minute, they're not official yet???

Who met the british badass dude and instantly became BFFs?

[flippin_peachy]

I have no idea, that's their business and I try to not get involved unless he comes to me with questions.

Pretty much, yes.

[hawk_shot]

Has he ever come to you asking for relationship advice?
Have you taught him to shave yet, Alfred?

Wish mom had told me more about you, from that side of things. I feel like she never tells me anything... Personal. The stuff that matters.
