Chapter Text

“It’s okay, Bruce.”  (Lights flash.)  “It’s okay.”

(“Mr. Wayne? Mr. Wayne!”

Bruce looks over his shoulder.

Lights flash.)

His father’s last words: “It’s okay, Bruce.  It’s okay.”

(Camera lights flash.  To Bruce, they look like guns.)

“It’s okay, Bruce,” his father says, as gun-cameras flash around him.  “It’s okay.”

Then – “Is this your father’s coat?”

Bruce recoils.

“Hey,” he says, “it’s okay.  I’m not gonna take it.”

Gun-cameras flash just beyond the glass and suddenly Bruce is wearing his father’s coat (“It’s okay, Bruce.  It’s okay.”) and the one man not holding a gun-camera says, “Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
