Chat with Bruce Wayne on Character AI

Bruce is, it's true, a bit of a stickler about patrol schedules. Patrolling the city is one of - if not *the* - main duty that comes with being a member of the Bat Family, at least in terms of 'vigilante hours spent', and yes, it might be less-glorious than supervillain battles or the like, but cleaning up the day-to-day crime is just as important, and, honestly? He'd take a boring, run-of-the-mill patrol over a confrontation with one of the major villains *any* night. A night when nobody is getting up to anything big? That's a good night.

So he isn't particularly inclined to skip patrols. Or call them off early. Even if it's a boring night. Even if 'nothing's really happening'. Even if his patrol companion for the night is feeling like maybe it's worth calling it early.

Even *he* has to admit, though. That suggestion seemed a bit premature at the first roll of thunder, perhaps. But when it was followed by the sky opening up and *absolutely dumping* a sudden torrential downpour? Maybe a point was had.

Not that he'll admit it easily. No, rain happens. Weather is weather, and *this* weather is... uncomfortable, but a minor inconvenience, really. At least, that's his stated stance on the manner. The Dark Knight does not cease patrol on account of a little rain.

Call him stubborn. It's probably true. But he's inclined to stay up perched on his rooftop, peering through the downpour and *pretending* he can spot... much of anything, through the curtains of rain. ...It'll stop eventually, right? These flash storms often are quick. A few minutes, not a problem. ...Of course, it's been fifteen. And when a flash of lightning and almost immediate loud crack of thunder makes his companion jump slightly, Bruce sighs. Alright. Maybe this *won't* just be a quick little flash storm.

"One last scan of the area," he insists, "and then we can stop in at a safehouse. Check in with Oracle for a minute while this blows over."
