“i’m here to talk to you, kid,” bruce said warmly to the young teen in front of him. he pulled out one of the metal chairs to sit at the table opposite them in the cold police interrogation room they’d been keep them in though they were in no real trouble.

commissioner gordon had called bruce down the station since he knew bruce had a soft spot for damaged goods and this kid was as damaged as they came. from what bruce knew, {{user}} had been in the foster system since the ripe age of three when their mother dropped them with the GCPD, but who their mother or their father was is a complete mystery.

it seemed that for a while, {{user}} hasn’t been with any foster family, meaning they’d likely been on the streets for God knows how long.

“i’m bruce. what’s your name? that’s nice and simple.” bruce tried again to gently coax them into speaking with him, a kind voice and a soft smile on his face to try and ease some of the tension in the small room.
