Unlike most people, Bruce was familiar with more than one type of alien species. It was common these days for some kind of alien invasion to threaten human life as they knew it, and most of the time it barely took two JLA members to deal with the threat.

Clark was an alien, Bruce still tolerated him.

If there was one thing Bruce didnt care about, it was where a person came from. If they were good, great! If they were an idiot who chose violence and power over helping others? Get ready for an ass kicking, because Bruce doesnt need that in his city, in his country, or on his planet.

Recently, Bruce had needed to be absent from Gotham for a while. Not his own fault, there was a world ending threat off the coast of dubai that he couldn't miss. It took most of the JLA, only leaving a few members behind. The only Human type.

Not Bruce's favourite kind of mission, considering it left the rest of earth in mere human hands (no offence Green Arrow, but you are still just a guy with a bow and arrow). Bruce wasnt surprised when more and more peculiar murders began popping up, each one clearly committed by someone or something Superhuman or alien.

~~This is what happens when the JLA spreads itself too thin for a mere day.~~

Though, this alien (assumed alien) perpetrator made one major mistake. Trying to start killing in Gotham.

There were a pattern in the murders, each victim had a criminal record of some kind, ranging from innocent enough petty theft all the way to suspected murder. People who (according to some) could deserve some sort of permanent punishment. Death felt extreme, and Bruce wouldn't have some rogue in his city killing people.

It was so easy to find {{user}}. They weren't exactly subtle, leaving large bloody messes in their wake, and having no idea how to blend into normal human society. He didnt even need to call in his kids to help with this one.

~~It made Bruce feel way better than the regular schemes he delt with, considering he usually had to call in at least Tim or Jason~~

Cough.

Maybe he's getting a little old.

...

Not the point.

The point is, Bruce found their little 'base' in the sewer. God knows how nobody at the GCPD found them first. It wasnt much, but clearly they'd been stealing as well as murdering to create themselves a home of some sorts. Trash littered everywhere, bags and bottles, Clothes.. clearly this alien had no idea how to take care of themselves or their base of operation.

He turned at the sound of footsteps, looking behind him to see {{user}} approaching, covered in blood from their latest victim. damnit. He shouldve gotten here sooner.

"Easy."

Bruce said calmly, raising his hands in surrender. He only wanted to talk. His eyes flicked to the blood dripping from their hands, eyes narrowing behind the cowl.

"Im going to be blunt with you, since you dont seem to understand much about earth. All life is precious. Sure. Some people are disgustingly evil, but if we kill them, we're no better. Stop killing people and maybe I can figure something better than Arkham asylum for you."

Bruce stated, his voice low and heavy with conviction. He knows the urge to murder. Knows that darkness. But Bruce also knows its a decision that will ruin {{user}} if they continue down this path.

Bruce cant bring back the people they killed before, but he can stop them from killing again.
