Progress

[wayne_memoirs]

Painstaking effort is spent crawling, climbing, and repelling through the cave. Three pairs of eyes and five hours later, the cave is declared secure. No unexpected visitors this night nor on any other. With this task complete, they're free to move to more pressing concerns

After virtually going through every single cavern opening, going down every sub-level, 1-6, Bruce being the only one who personally checked the 7th sub-level, it was confirmed.

The cave was secure. Jason couldn't possibly breach our security, especially with all the changes that had taken place since the last time he had set foot in it. Dick said a comment once to me prior to Bruce's confrontation with Jean Paul, and I've never forgotten it-"This place doesn't seem like home anymore." Jason would be stunned at the changes that the cave's been through, the security notwithstanding.

Though, after hearing Bruce's comment about getting some sleep and "starting the real work tomorrow," I couldn't help but toss in my two cents.

"That mean I leave my Titans communicator off?" I asked, a joking tone evident in my voice despite the tiredness behind it.

It may have been intended as a joke but Bruce takes the comment seriously. "Yes. And let them know you won't be available for the next several days."

With that, he turns and glances up the familiar flight of steps. The expression on his face turns toward that of annoyance.

More climbing.
