[HE'S A CAPTAIN NOT A CRIME FIGHTER give him a minute as he tries to turn this into something he can parse. He rubs a hand against his temple and up into his hair, which is longer than usual and stands on end when he does it.]

So how much can you tell me?

[angermanaging]

[Wow he's not a crime fighter either!! And Bruce is too much a secretive bastard to want to ask the actual crime fighters.

Even now he looks torn.] Not much. I know the-- the two victims, obviously, but I don't think they want to be public. There might be more that I don't know. We could look for them, see if any of them remembers something.

No one volunteered anything on Hayley's post, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. It was about a month ago.

[Weird, that Bruce knows them both. He's not exactly chatty. Jim's brows draw down. Bruce would know if it was his little green problem, right? Probably best not to ask.]

Yeah, you mentioned that. During that big mix-up. Good opportunity, lots of chaos. Where'd the murders happen? Was there anything similar about them, or...?

[angermanaging]

[It's definitely a good idea not to ask if Bruce is sure he hadn't inadvertently murdered two of the people he most wants to protect.

As it is, he's reluctant to admit his ignorance, because he knows how close the answers might be to him, and he hadn't pressed out of respect for their mental balance.]

I don't know. I tried to ask, but neither of them were-- in a state to be forthcoming. Dying and coming back is... traumatic. [He would know.]

[jirk]

[Jim doesn't even like that it occurs to him. It's a sign of how badly this place has been messing with his head. Jim's mouth thins, though, at the statement.]

Yeah. I know.

[He sighs.]

Is there another way? There's probably a telepath or two here that could lift the information without them having to relive it.
