[Private to Jason, right after talking to Martha]

Where are you?

[Private to B'Elanna]

You busy?

[Private separately to Ray and Costigan]

How you been, guy?

[He gives Patrick a tired look.]

Because he's Batman. Because he's insane. It means the same thing. I know he doesn't mean to fuck us around like this, but he can't actually help it. Ask Dick sometime. I bet even Drake has stories. He'll never choose any of us over the mission.

And they can keep on following him despite or because of that, but I won't.

[It takes a while for B'Elanna to get comfortable with people. She tends to hold them at a distance, so she's noooot entirely sure she wants to sit down for a meal with him. It's not like on Voyager where you can work all day with a few people, then sit down and talk about work. The easiest excuses are kind of gone. She walks in only a little while after Patrick, though.]

Hey.

[Awesome. They will get along vaguely swimingly. B'Elanna shrugs, and heads for the semi awesome buffet. She misses replicators. :|] All right, I guess. You?

[He just. Shuts his eyes in frustration. He can feel this slipping away, and he's not in a place where he can punch something. It's a while before he responds, low and careful.]

I have two choices, Patrick. I can choose to work with you or I can choose to stay myself. I would rather stay me, but I can't do what I need to do here, I can't go anywhere, I can't even die.

You asked me if I knew Bruce "loved" me. Of course I know. He's the only person who ever cared about me and stayed. Those are the best four years of my life. Everything important I've ever done, I've done because of him, for him, even when I was trying to kill him. He's my entire fucking life. There has to be more than that. Because I can't be his son. Not like this.

[That's as close as he's going to get to admitting changing might change that, and that he'd want that. It's not something he likes to speculate about. If Patrick somehow reprogrammed him, maybe Bruce would want him back... but he refuses to go that far. It's Bruce who taught him to stick to his principles.]

[The conflict of emotions stays mostly in his eyes, the rest of his expression sullenly stoic. It's hard to say whether he's really hearing Patrick or not, the way he's so still.]

Okay.

[Surprisingly subdued, he doesn't meet Patrick's eyes, but there's no tension in the word, no ominous calm that implies other plans in process. After a moment he just turns for the door.]

I'd be less unnerved if it was actually falling apart. [Not that she's unnerved. :| She grabs a tray and frowns at the selection.] At least that'd be relatively easy to fix.

[B'Elanna makes a face and shakes her head.] On Voyager? Any day of the week. But I don't even know what kind of shielding the Barge has. If the hull breaches and there's no back up system, we're all dead.

[Pause] I still almost prefer the breach.

So am I. [And she's going for whatever meat option she can find.] Still, I'm not looking forward to the next flood.

[Potatoes are pretty tasty, she's grabbing that spoon once he's done.] They seem to happen pretty regularly, but knowing what to expect would be nice.

You'd think that - would-- [But now she is thinking and oh, of course, the most obvious thing ever.] We could make our own back ups. We'd just need to write down details of our lives - things that are important, and keep them somewhere we'd find, for the next time we, I don't know - think we're 19th century soldiers.

[She shrugs, grabbing a glass for water.] Sometimes the simplest answers are the easiest. It's worth a try, isn't it?
