( the gun fires from behind him and "thomas wayne" is shot. just like all those years ago. right in front of him. again. the gasp that leaves bruce is one that's so very heavy with pain. a pain he still carries with him β that he tries to beat out of him through the beating of criminals.
the decaying thomas wayne falls backwards and hits the ground like a sack of potatoes, eyes behind the cowl he wears shining as he hears himself as a boy crying out for his father.
that's when he's shoved β that's when he nearly stumbles into the ground and a snake narrowly misses him when it strikes, throwing itself through the air. for a few seconds, he comes back to himself β to the present moment and he whips the batarang angrily at that same snake who lunges for him again, slicing it in half.
boney fingers gripping at his ankle, he turns and stares down at his father struggling to look up to him, gunshots there in his head oozing blood even as he does. the snakes seem to zero in on jason more β some of them growing wings unexpectedly while another black hole begins to shift around near bruce. taking the form of someone else. of someone bruce looks over to and stares at much the same way he does at thomas wayne. martha wayne. who... also begins to decay and rot rapidly. )
