Hayley lifts her chin to meet his gaze dead on, the way she did with Jason Todd, insinuating a darkness rarely shown. Unlike Jason, it's not empathy and understanding that she sees in him, not in the same way. While Jason is subtly encouraging her to kill, she's fairly confident that Bruce will pull her back from that. He might allow it from Tony, but she's a girl and a kid and she's sure that he can't ignore those things.

After a moment, she drops her eyes to her lap and pulls her legs back in towards her, looking down to her shoes. When she returns her gaze to Bruce, the hint of menace beneath her features has lessened and her tone is flippant and weary. "It really depends on who it is. It's not about anger or revenge or whatever, Bruce. It's about making sure it doesn't happen again. The only way to do that is to make sure he knows it's not worth it."
