Batman Beyond - Inside Season 3

Random thought; what if Dana starts resenting her relationship, feeling like she's obligated to stay with Terry because of all he's done?
Hyatt
Not likely to happen, but it's a thought I wanted to get out there before going to bed and forgetting it
Hyatt
236 bees
wanna talk sometime?
Hyatt
(it's not likely to happen if she Ascends before he does. it's sort of like "do I have any relevance outside of Terry?")
236 bees
I'd say that if she did, he'd notice, and in that case, he'd probably purposefully drift away
236 bees
and/or confront her
Hyatt
Hopefully it won't happen ICly. not after all they've been through
236 bees
he is preeeeeet-ty darn observant at this stage, after all, and that sort of mood would push him away all by itself. And if he found out what she was thinking, he'd leave
236 bees
'figure out what you want' etc etc
Hyatt
yeah. if they got to that point... a break-up would be best, so she could sort herself out
Hyatt
does Terry have expectations of her?
236 bees
how so?
Hyatt
like, does he want her to fill any role, or not, because she's his girlfriend?
236 bees
oh
Hyatt
as an example, would he want her to stay out of the Batman life, because she's supposed to be kept pure or something
236 bees
WELL HE'D PREFER SHE NOT TRY TO TURN SIDEKICK ON HIM but that's basically standard for everything
236 bees
he doesn't want her kept pure as such, but he would like her kept out of it as much as possible because danger, will robinson etc
Hyatt
but her worth wouldn't be intrinsically spoiled by getting involved
236 bees
also in a he-actually-never-thinks-of-this-but-it's-true sort of way, she's the one who keeps him grounded in reality. If she delved too deep into batlife, he'd get dragged further and further in
Hyatt
(I think I've been reading too much of that macho stuff that's making the plurk rounds)
236 bees
until finally it wasn't really him left, it was just batman, and almost nothing else
Hyatt
I don't think that would happen
236 bees
he does expect her to keep him in line
Hyatt
she just. doesn't want to be shut out of that entirely
236 bees
but that's just like. something he expects her to naturally do, not something that is an expectation that he feels must be upheld or w/e (though he knows he should have someone doing it)
Hyatt
and neither Bruce nor Max are likely to do that
236 bees
max encourages his bad side, Bruce doesn't care all that much as long as it doesn't affect The Mission
Hyatt
exactly
236 bees
Bruce is also excessively fond of shadows, so he'd have a slightly harder time figuring out how far is too far
Hyatt
in case you were wondering, this is...
Hyatt
warning: it's pretty offensive
236 bees
especially as he does not seem to care nearly as much as he used to, what the means are as far as the ends are accomplished
236 bees
Terry used kill moves in his training, and Bruce did not so much as blink at it, much less say anything like 'don't do that' to Terry
Hyatt
Dana's been down that road a bit, and she's afraid of it
