[She looks in that moment like she's been caught by Victor Fries ... No. That man goes by Mr Freeze now days. He's speaking before he knows it. Likely sealing his own fate. If he says it, he'll never be able to let her go once the three months is over. But he can't. He can't let her freeze.

I didn't say that. Because you know, there's more than one kind of love. I can't love you the way I love.... [No. He can't say it. Hannibal's right there and he's already ruining everything. He can't say it and ruin that too] but you know how I talk about Bruce. About Regulus. You know I love them more than anything in the world. Same way I love Timothy. They're family. My sons...my grandson. You're my girl, Hiling. You're my sweet lass, so you're family too. Like Regulus. Like Bruce. Just because it's not romantic or sexual doesn't mean I don't love you. And I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry I ever made you feel you weren't here. I've only ever had sons before. Don't really know how to handle a daughter.
