Summary: A Bruce introspective on his night life

Author's Note: Hey guys! This is my first venture into writing something in the Bat-fandom, but I've been reading it for a couple of years. It's also much different from my normally light-hearted stories. The idea came to me when I was thinking over economics concepts for an exam. I was debating on whether to post this or not, and then someone made the decision for me!

Anyway, a HUGE! Thanks to Kurai, for being an amazing friend and for helping me out on this. Enjoy!

It's all a business, that's what it comes down to. We have costs and produce a product. I know business; it's all about making a profit or minimizing the losses.

Have we made a profit? We have successes, yes. Catching another Arkham escapee, pulling a mugger off the streets. And yet... I've gone on patrol every night, to try to make this city a better place. Every night, has there been any improvement?

There are some things we can't change. How many have we lost? Jason. Stephanie. To shut down is not an option, so we must settle with minimizing our losses. Because that's what it's all about, right? Minimizing the losses…
