Thump. Ka-thump. Thump. Ta-thump.

Punch, pause, breath.

Thump. Ka-thump. Thump. Ta-thump.

He tries to ignore the way that his insides feel like they're on fire.

Thump. Ka-thump. Thump. Ta-thump.

He doesn't want to think, doesn't want to deal with this...

Thump. Ka-thump. Thump. Ta-thump.

Bruce's voice, still ringing in his ears, it doesn't have to be this way...

Thum-KKSH.

The sandbag breaks.

He puts another one up.

Thump. Ka-thump.

His anger intensifies.

Thump. Ka-thump.

He can't quite remember why he's so mad.

Thump. Ka-thump.

It doesn't feel rational anymore.

Thump. Ka-thump.

His brain feels blank.

Thump. Ka-thump.

It's not wrong to kill.

Thump. Ka-thump.

This is justice.

Thump. Ka-thump.

It's better for everyone if the criminals are gone forever.

Thump. Ka-thump.

They're dead.

Thump. Ka-thump.

They deserve to be dead.

Thump. Ka-thump.

They're killers.

Thump. Ka-thump.

Rapists.

Thump. Ka-thump.

Drug dealers.

Thump. Ka-thump.

What makes him different?

Thump. Ka-thump.

His brain's blank.

Th-UMP KRSSSH.

The bag breaks.

He doesn't bother to put another one up.

A/N: I will be completely honest. I have no idea what just happened. If you do, congrats, you've done a better job than me. So, um, I'll be putting up the rest of the Batfamily. Any requests for who's next?
