I guess I'm just used to it.

How so?

Probably because he was worried.

[hawk_shot]

Probably. But still the cutest thing ever.

... Because... I don't know, it's just weird to know about every thing your daughter does, isn't it?
But she... Now I understand why she wouldn't talke about things. She's probably ashamed of herself.

Probably. But he skipped a bullet with mom. Literally.

[flippin_peachy]

I suppose.

It works both ways then, it's weird to know everything your Mum does isn't it?
Gee thanks.

I don't find that very amusing.

[hawk_shot]

You suppose? C'mon!

Well, yeah! But it's still different.
I'm not saying that that involves you!

But it's true. Alfred, she framed him.

[flippin_peachy]

You keep saying it's different but I'm not hearing why or how.

In a way you are.

I'm aware but I don't think it's funny.

[hawk_shot]

Because parents are supposed to be like cautionary tales.
Of course I don't want all the details. But it's unfair that she knows so much about my life while I realize I've been raised by a stranger.

How??

Yeah, well, you can blame her for that.

[flippin_peachy]

Oh bullocks to all that. Parents are not supposed to be anything except exactly that, parents. People who chose to give their time and love to their child.
And you call your Mum a stranger but it works both ways, missy. You ever think that maybe your Mum would have told you more if you had asked? Or sat down and shared things with her instead of her getting random phone calls from others about you?

Because like you said, I was one of her secrets.

[hawk_shot]

Oh, I'm sure she would have gladly told me all about how she was working by the freaking kinping or how she'd rather kill a man than giving me a freaking clue of what she was actually doing.
Because that's it, our money is dirty and there's blood on it because of her!
I'm sure she would have told me, same as she told me all about her friend the british guy.

[Kate types fast and sends it without thinking.

But a different sort of regret reaches her first, one that sounds like the Riddler when he points out that no, she's not perfect or fully a hero. Not as good as she pretends to be.

Because yes, she's sheltered and yes, that money is stained with blood.]

[flippin_peachy]

It wasn't just because of her, it was also because of your father.
But I notice you don't have anything bad to say about him, do you?

[hawk_shot]

Because my father is dead and he didn't get a chance to choose, did he??

[flippin_peachy]

Seems to me he chose to put his family in danger because he made some bad business mistakes and then your mother was left to deal with it.

[hawk_shot]

Or maybe he chose to protect his legacy and made a mistake. I still remember how mom would give him shit about not losing money. Well, maybe she drove him to take this decision.

Meanwhile, she's been working for more than ten years for Fisk.

[flippin_peachy]

It's easy to judge her isn't it? When you've already made up your mind as to who you want the villain in the story to be.

[And after that response Kate will get no more from him.]

[hawk_shot]

And it's easy to defend her when she's an old and nice memory that only reaches out when she wants something from you.

[She's fuming, tossing her phone away, but reaching out every once in a while to check if Alfred has replied.

Kate is glad she's not at Bruce's place now, instead heading to Edward's apartment.

At least Ed gets it.]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: awwww poor Kate, she made Alfred get angry.]

[hawk_shot]

[ooc: And poor Alfred, always surrounded by bratty kids that make him lose it. XD

Not gonna lie, I'm shipping him with Eleanor now.]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: Haha at least he's used to it, and Kate can't fire him like Bruce did.

Me too! <3 I love the idea of him and her being in love when they were young and him always wishing they had continued later on.]

[hawk_shot]

[ooc: Oh God, I LOVE lil' Bruce but I yelled at the screen when he fired Alfred.

Aaaaw yes. And now taking her daughter under his wing and Kate considering him family, unaware of his past with her mom. At some point if you want I can totally play Eleanor for him. <333]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: that's because it was such a JERK thing to do!!! But he learned from it. Thankfully.

Ooooooooh I'd love that. <3333]

[hawk_shot]

[ooc: Its fine, he's allowed to be a little shit and like you said, he learned. We still love him.

I can set up something over the weekend! <3]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: I do love that when he was like "but I'm sooooooooorry" Alfred was all 'yeah? PROVE IT, BITCH."

Kay!! Do you want to do something where he visits her in jail or...?]

[hawk_shot]

[ooc: LMAO yesss! Sean's Alfred is my fave one now. He is such a mood. XD

Yeah, I was thinking a phone call. But it would be SO sweet if Alfred visited her not only to give her an update on Kate (and maybe show her pictures ;___;) but what if he went to see her for the holidays?]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: Same here! He just brings SO much heart to the role and so much bad assery

UHNNN MY HEART!! YES. He would totally go see her for the holidays!!]

[hawk_shot]

[ooc: The perfect combo. And a perfect way to reimagine a classic character. I love this show so much. <3

Yesssssssssss!! <33 Next step, you have a step-daughter, Alfred. No matter if you and Eleanor make it official or not. Sorry, I don't make the rules.]

[flippin_peachy]

[ooc: Plus he's got that VOICE, that soft rumbly tone. SO good.

Hahahah he wouldn't mind that one bit, he never thought he would be a father but it turns out he's a damn good one.]
