Back at the hospital room after the fire incident.
"If there's anything you'd like me to do for you I promise to help if it's within my power...I promise."
...
"Then...
...your daughter. Give her to me."
The room went silent for a minute and White realized how commanding his words had sounded, but his mouth had moved before his mind and he couldn't break character now. The two stared at each other and Mrs. Wayne finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
"What?!"
The room got tense. He could feel the hostility behind her word and he thought she was going to ask him to get out, but she only went quiet for a minute as she glared at him. He could feel his hands getting all sweaty at the tense mood, then he suddenly wished he hadn't said what he wanted to as a grim familiar feeling swept over him. He opened his mouth to speak but her next question caught him off guard.
"Do you have what it takes to protect her?"
