The Future Freaks Me Out

[bitten_notshy]

So, children, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Half marks if you say "redeemed" or "good" or anything cliched like that. No one makes a living just by being redeemed.

Not Batman.

Yeah, that's all I have so far.

[bitten_notshy]

It's a starting place.

Why not Batman? Isn't he a hero?

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

He is. But he's closed off and paranoid. I don't want to be like that.

Plus, if I'm Batman, that means that two people I really care about aren't Batman and that means they're probably... not around.

[bitten_notshy]

Oh. That's like how I don't want to be out of my guardian's shadow -- because if I am, he's likely gone.

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly.

Besides, his life doesn't leave time for anything besides the job. I want more. Maybe a family, someday.

[bitten_notshy]

I've never been sure about a family. I don't know what I'd do with one.

But I understand wanting to be more than the job.
