Saying goodbye (open)
The winter wind had a sharp bite to it and the cold rain made the day that much more miserable. The small canopy set up over the grave site did little ward off the rain. The weather fit Maria's mood perfectly. The graveside service had just wrapped up and the coffin had been lowered into the frozen ground. The other mourners were heading to the warmth of their waiting vehicles.

Maria didn't seem to notice the wind and the cold rain as she stood as still as the many statues that dotted the graveyard. Her mother was dead. Victim of bombing. It happened too close to the breakout at Arkham to be coincidence. Maria knew one of the escapees was responsible, she just had to find out which one.

She stared at the coffin sitting in the ground.

In the back of her mind she knew Bruce and her father were waiting in the car, but she just couldn't move.

"Tomorrow," she said. It could wait until morning. Today she was grieving too much. "It can wait until tomorrow."

"Alright." he agrees - making a note to have his sister and Iota checking anyway, so they don't lose any clues. Things disappear fast, and he wants a head start if she does want a hand.

"Take care of yourself, and family. I'll be by tonight."

Maria nodded. She kissed his cheek. "See you later." She started to head for the waiting car. She stopped, looked back at him and then continued on.

He tries to be as reassuring as he can. Reassuring is not his strong point.

Revenge and blood, however... those are old business. He's on the phone not long after she and the car are out of sight.
