"I read about that." The truth is, Metropolis - for all that they could manage decent pizza - had freaked her out from the start. Learning that aliens were an actual thing had left her the most off balance she'd felt in the past five years, ever, maybe, and it had made her miss her Gotham more than it had any right to. Just seeing the clean up from whatever fight Superman had gotten into in the city had been enough to send her packing pretty quickly.
She hadn't spent a lot of time thinking how it might affect him, but then, she hadn't paid much attention to the businesses that had been taken down. The white collar world never had much of her concern.
Bruce earned a lot more of it than she was ever comfortable admitting.
Nothing she could say would help here, she knows it: it would sound empty, or unnecessary, and those aren't really things Selina cares for. When they were kids, there were a few times, when bad things would happen, that she would just hug him. It had been easier than finding the right words.
She's not a kid anymore, and he's not the boy in her memories. She doesn't hug him. She does reach out to settle her hand on his, fingers curling around his in a quick grasp.
