"Think I'll take the risk." Edward looked at him, thoughtful. Of course, he was just about always thoughtful, but right now he actually let it show on his face. "You could be in Gotham, you know? Gotham is the place where the strange become extraordinary."

The place he would return to, sooner or later, one way or the other. He waited for Jonathan to stop the car, feeling how the atmosphere had changed. Tension, apprehension, that talk of danger and all the warnings... He'd have to be stupid to be unaware and he was not stupid. Chasing risks, however? Guilty as charged.

Leaning forward, he suddenly kissed Jonathan's cheek and let his lips linger for a moment. "Thanks for the right, Jonny."

That said he pulled away, undid his seatbelt, and got out of the car. Better to fake bravado before his own anxiety could kick in.
