[ He would have liked to disappear after his parents died. In fact, he even tried to. He tried to hole himself up in the Wayne Manor and focus on who had killed his parents. It became an obsession - a calling.Not only to just find out who murdered his parents (which, he never learned), but to save Gotham from the corruption that ran it. Which has been a life long battle with various degrees of success.

Then, the Manor burned down. Robin died. Off he moved into the glass house. ]

Adopted? [ He pauses and shakes his head. ] You don't need to answer that. It's personal.

[ Bruce takes a seat across from her. ]

What changed your mind?

[ Wrapping her hands around her mug, she lets the warmth seep in, savoring and finding a shred of comfort in the feeling. It's not much, but sometimes that has to be enough. ]

Protection is what I do. [ She shrugs slightly, eyes on the table in front of Bruce rather than the man himself. ]I'm not from around here, but at least I can try to do some good before I find my way home.

[ If she finds her way home. With every day that passes, it seems a little more unlikely, and some days it's a struggle to hold on to any semblance of hope at all. Lifting her mug, she adds a clarification before taking another sip. ]

I was never adopted.

"Not from around here" has a broad stroke after what happened two years ago.

[ He, of course, is referring to the fact that the Superman existed. Kryptonains. Doomsday. Diana is an Amazon. There are metahumans. She could be from another world for all he really knows. What would matter if she is would be if she means harm or not. Given their conversations so far? He's going to bet "no." ]

I see.

[ Bruce shrugs slightly. Given he adopted someone at one point in time? It makes him frown. Homeless and alone. ]

[ Daisy's quiet for a long moment, drinking a little more coffee that she no longer tastes to buy herself a little time to consider what to tell him. She'd been considering it since they met in that diner, just going back and forth between all in and as little as possible. But then it hits her how long she's been here, how much longer she might be here, and it just makes her tired. The idea of hiding these things for months or even years ahead weighs her down and makes the decision that much easier. ]

I'm from a different Earth. Another timeline or a parallel universe, whatever you want to call it. I've been here for three years and I haven't been able to find my way back yet.
