mental link, day 32

[headinjuries]

[ Sam crashed hard after the vigil, because between all the lies making him feel like he was going to puke and trying to pick them apart giving him one mother of a headache, staying awake felt like something you only do if you really hate yourself.

Do all newfound psychic powers suck this bad? He was fine with just flying and blowing things up, thanks. ]

( By the way, just figured everybody should know: Seong-Hye Ngazi is full of crap, the Public Safety Commission isn't half as gung-ho about bringing the bomber to justice as she makes it sound, and I'm like ninety percent she actually knows who did it, but that part I'm not quite positive about.

So, you know. In case anybody wanted to break into her office or stalk her or something. I hear some of you guys are actually good at the cloak and dagger stuff.

You're welcome. )

[ He can be found in the common area of the Bearings, scrolling through news reports and radiating pure frustration, if anyone would rather comment to his face instead of over the link. ]

[Probably not the uplifting piece of advice he could have used, but Bruce thinks being grounded in reality is better than telling him that everything will be alright, that everything will work its way out in the end. He isn't exactly a proponent of ignorance.]

They're waiting for you back home. Consider that motivation to improve yourself today.

[headinjuries]

[ That's one thing working in Sam's favor, at least - he always wants to be better than he is, even if he sometimes struggles to actually make progress in that direction. ]

Right.

[batmotif]

[At least there's that. If nothing else, Bruce can do his best to guide Sam in improving himself, so that he's ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead when he does return to his universe. (And yes, Bruce is determined to make sure it's a when, and not an if.)]

Then let's continue. We're not done yet.

[headinjuries]

[ His only response is to get back into that stance (the corrected one, of course). More hitting things? Sure let's go. ]

[batmotif]

[It's response enough for Bruce, and so the two of them will settle into the rest of their lesson with little else to interrupt them, until either Sam is too tired or Bruce is satisfied. (You guess which one happens first.)]
