"It's a tiny island." For him, anyway. "But it wouldn't hurt to go apologize to Mr. Wayne. Even if the guy seems to have more money than god--even here--it was still an invasion of his privacy."

He winced a little as he said that out loud. How many buildings had he destroyed in supervillain fights since he first started as Invincible? How many of those people did he go apologize to? It was crazy hypocritical, asking Korra to do something he had never done, but...

It was Bruce. It was different somehow, when it was someone you knew.

[alphatar]

"Yeah. I’ll pick up some money from home and put something together. I’m pretty sure he won’t accept, but I’ll offer to pay the cost for the damages anyway." That might put a dent in her savings so far, but she’d deal with that after she threw a kind of gift basket together.

"What do you get someone with that much money?"

[shorttempered]

"It's actually mostly fixed by now." Then, when he realized that Invincible really shouldn't know that "I-I flew by there before. And saw."

Mark picks at the tip of his gloves as he does everything to not look Korra in the eye. He does, however, look up when she asks that. Good question. "Something money can't buy, I guess... can you make him something??"

[alphatar]

"I can at least offer to reimburse him. Last time I didn’t apologize or offer anything for a full month." Some regret was in her tone, she never got to tell Soranik before she left. So she also ended up trying to avoid looking Invincible in the eye since he encouraged the apology to Bruce.

"Well, I can earthbend or ice sculpt something. Maybe I can buy a block of some quality stone and work from there." Excited at first, bit it winded down in enthusiasm when she realized that she doesn’t really know much about him.

[shorttempered]

"Do you even have that kind of money?" Because he knew he sure as hell didn't. "Maybe you can offer to put in some community service? I always help clean up after a fight."

Mainly because he's usually the one at fault half the city's buildings are in the street...

"That would be a good idea. He could put the statue in his new office. Or the lobby or something."

[alphatar]

"Yeah, but it'd hurt my savings so far." It wasn't a pleasant though since she was trying to think of something to get Mako now that she knows how Christmas works. (Mostly how it works.)

"The only problem is I have no idea what to make.” A guy like that, Korra doubted Bruce would want a status of himself.

[shorttempered]

"All the more reason to try offering community service. It won't cost you a thing." It was a solid idea to him, anyway.

"Ask his sons."

Status, statue. Though, thought. You know, words that actually make sense. /sob

[alphatar]

She sheepishly admits: "I’m still working on some other community service and I don’t want to make him wait. But yeah, I could do that. I work with one of them a lot and I know he’d help."

It’s Dick, he’s always been nice to her.

"Thanks! Now I know where to start."

it's okay I knew what you meant!

[shorttempered]

Invincible smiles. "Happy to help."
