That isn't what she expected at all, even though she knew Isaac wasn't a fan of being restrained, it's still--
Of course she blames herself, because she keeps telling herself that she should have kept calm, that she should have called someone sooner instead of panicking and trying to force her way. Batgirl should be better than that.
But she forces herself to stop that train of thought for a moment and remember what she said to Sonya.
Tell me what he did to me was nothing>/i>.
And she thinks of saying what she's thinking to Isaac, telling him that it was his fault he hurt his friend, and she can't. She wouldn't, because it's not true, because he's right with everything he's saying. And she needs to stop being a hypocrite.
It's so much easier to hear from someone who gets it, not just Saul or Tempest or Ros saying it wasn't her fault. Isaac isn't just saying it to placate her or make her feel better, he's been there, he knows what it feels like, and if he's forgiven himself, so can she.]
when i was younger my dad used to lock me in the closet if i did something to piss him off.
so when i ended up in the closet i just. forgot. i forgot about everything that wasn't being back there and being scared that he'd never let me out.
i keep telling myself i should've had more control, but it's not that easy, is it? you're right, about being gone.
so um, thank you. other people have said it's not my fault but i don't think they really get it. and this made me realize i need to stop being so hard on myself. so yeah, thanks. i know this shit isn't easy to talk about, so i really appreciate it.
and i'll definitely punch the next person who says it's my fault
