"I'm not at all a fighter. I just recently got into one of the only real fights of my life, and I was in a super suit at the time, and I still almost died." It was not great, honestly, and if those were the people they needed in this place, well, it was going to be a tough learning curve. But Bruce did survive. So maybe it was doable. "To build an army they would need to give us reason to follow them. Maybe in exchange for sending us home?" Nothing was outside of the realm of possibility now. And it would be a good incentive for people who wanted to find their family and friends again. But he suspected there were plenty who wouldn't be willing to fight for their captors no matter what.
He looked surprised, his eyebrows lifting. "You look a little young to know Creedence Clearwater Revival. Unless their music has had a comeback." Which wouldn't be that unusual, old bands did it occasionally. He'd been gone from earth too long to know, but then again, they were clearly from different earths. Of course he realized how stupid it was to react to that particular part when she explained the rest. A calamity, a vicious one from the sound of it. Gruesome violence, and for what? There was no reason he could think of that would ever be worth it.
"I'm sorry. That's terrible." He drank a little more, it was still intense, but it was a good distraction too. "There's a saying that every villain thinks they're the hero. Or that they're doing the right thing, somehow. It might be why they wanted to be seen as Titans." It sounded like on multiple verses, people would always find a way to destroy each other and behave badly. Bruce sighed. "Is that when you found yourself here? Maybe that's part of the answers. They take us from defining moments or tragedies in our time."
