[ Hope Bruce isn't planning on getting an apology or somesuch out of him for that. He's not planning on offering one regardless. It wasn't his first contingency plan but if the other one fell through (with them leaving and it has for the moment with him hurt as he is) this is what he knew he could trust.

Who he knew he could trust.

Though she doesn't have much to guide off except the watch he's already wearing, she nods and focuses, the bracelet changing to mimic the other accessory. While John wouldn't want her doing too much, especially unsupervised, if it helps to soothe her in the moment it's nothing to worry so much over. ] Want to see another trick?

[ If he could've avoided it, he would have. He barely managed to get them out as it is. He doesn't want to think about the other poor bastards not lucky enough. That's when it finally starts to sink in. London's gone.

London's gone. ]

Oh, well, you know me. Have to go all in. [ He starts to shift out of his shirt, still only in his sleep clothes so it's just the t-shirt and some soft pajama bottoms. After a hiss as he slowly tugs it off, he takes the cloth and start to clean up the side of his face. ] Ta for that.

I think we should keep the tricks down to a minimum. We don't want your father coming up and scolding you. [ He raises his eyebrows with a smile. He takes off the rather expensive watch and replaces it with the one she just morphed. The expensive one is held out to her as a gift. ]

We'll keep this between us.

[ Alfred scoffs at the idea of that. Oh, he's certain that Constantine always goes all in. Which is why he is a particular kind of trouble. Not to mention, a father. Perhaps he could nudge Bruce in the right direction. ]

'Right,' [ the butler glances up at him as he grabs the first aid kit and gets to work cleaning the area, ] 'I don't suppose you have another step in your plan? You may be free from London, but, this will hardly be a place for Miss Rosie. Master Wayne and Miss Diana are very intent on starting the team. Especially now.'

[oldhound]

Okay. [ A small smile and a nod as she takes the watch from him. She fiddles with it, little fingers running over the face. ]

I'm good at secrets.

[ Then again, she would be. She's her parent's child.

John tenses, focusing on his breathing a moment when Alfred starts to clean up the cut on his back. From the space he's going over, it's decent-sized. Fantastic. He hums as he thinks. ]

Might do, Al. Not sure what I've got to work with after all that but I'm sure I'm grounded here for a while. [His plan was taking shape, it wasn't ready to put into practice yet. It's why he had sent the bracelet to Bruce. Just in case. ]

[menarebrave]

I would hope so. Your father and mother are some of the best secret keepers out there. Almost as good as me.

[ John was able to keep the fact that he was married out of the eyes of Batman. It's impressive to say the least. The Sanctuary Network... that's not so much of a secret. Though, Bruce can thank his father for that.

Alfred is muttering something under his breath about men who run themselves too dry to care for themselves. Something more aimed at Master Wayne than John himself. ]

'I'm sure Master Wayne can help you find a place to 'bunker down', as it were. Unless you already have one here in Gotham?'

[ Rosie beams a little at that. She knows how special her parents are, even if papa doesn't always see it. She knows that Uncle Bruce and Auntie Di would have to be very special for papa to trust them as he does.

John was very careful to cover his tracks incredibly well when it came to his family. There are things that can't be planned for easily that would come looking if he didn't. Time will tell if those things are worse than what is currently knocking on the cosmic door.

Constantine hears the muttering but doesn't comment on it. He'll allow Alfred to fuss, even if it only is to ease his daughter's worry in the end. ]

I'm sure I can manage to find something but this is short notice even for me.

[ Which means he needs time. He's not sure what "friends" he still has in this town. ]
