Bruce traces a finger on her flawless and smooth skin.
Talia traces her hand over his many battle scars.
"You don't have any scars."
"I wish I was a canvas like you."
"Why? Is it not better to not have scars?"
"Beloved. The stretch marks that our son gifted me never stayed."
They look at each other. Bruce silently hugs her. He is a man of action and few words. He hopes the small comfort is enough.
big fan of Damian in the mikel janín style that is talia al ghuls baby he looks like her so much. al ghul face card doesn’t decline and personally I think we should draw him to look like her instead of Bruce clone 27
Was anyone going to tell me that Talia's real name is Tal-Yahe and it means "Tears of Gods" bc I'm going insane
Edit: check this reblog!
havent drawn them in a while

Did you guys know that Duke's tag on Ao3 only has 7,000 fics? Because I didn't.
WE WON BUT AT WHAT COST….
I wonder if Talia is jealous of Tim because of the attention he gets from Ra's and Bruce.
I mean, she primed a very angry-and-homicidal Jason to add Tim to his hit list. And later, when she sent Damian to Gotham--she had to have known that Damian would try to kill Tim, since that's what they do in the League.
Because Tim basically has everything Talia ever wanted. He gets recognition from Ra's, and he has a position at Bruce's side. And Talia, who craved Ra's' approval and Bruce's love for so long, has nothing.
There comes a time when the criminals prefer being taken in by Batman, because his kids go a little overboard:
Goon: "You won't kill me."
Cass: "You ready to bet your life on that?"
Duke: *tosses her the gun they took off the guy* "I would do what she says."
---------
Random thug: "Hey Batman doesn't kill--"
Damian: "Not like he's here. You're certainly not going to be able to tell him."
---------
Tim: "Well, accidents do happen. Shame." *starts to let go of the rope*
Guy dangling off the building: "No, no okay, okay, I'll tell you!"
---------
Steph: *clears throat*
Gang members: "We surrender!" *multiple guns fall to the ground*
Steph: "I see my reputation precedes me, wise choice."
---------
*Bruce gets chewed out by Gordon by the Batsignal because the rumours have spread so much, it kind of sounds like Batman's kids have been going around murdering people*
Bruce: "In my defense, it's only one of them."
Gordon: "What."
Bruce: *realizes he never filled Gordon in on Red Hood*
He deserves some praise I believe.
