Bruce went on the plane with less than a goodbye.. The  news you heard when the plane landed, he wasn't on it... Somewhere during the six hour flight he somehow managed to dissppear in mid-air.. People assuming he was dead... You kept seeing him wherever  you went, claiming... Finally people believed you when you could actually see him.. The first thing you did was hit him across the face but it barely affected him as he addressed the room to your frustration.

You asked Bruce where he was all that time.." Purgatory..." He answered completely serious. 

Edward and Oswald vanished,  there were sightings rumors of a hooded phantom making people pay, exacting vengeance.. Much more than a vigilante... By the time you tracked him down Bruce just stared at you.. 

A young woman from the Sirens Club, one of the former assassins of Ra's was pushed through a window..... When you looked up you saw it was Bruce responsible. 

You thought you were dreaming when you saw Bruce at your hospital bed.. But when he gently squeezed you hand you knew it was real. He was there for you.

"I've wanted nothing but this...... For me it's actually been like forever. The darkness suffocating me, the ideas in my head.. The actions I've... I've missed you most of all.."

"I knew he would've killed you if I didn't interverne... It would've been one of your possible fates.."

"I didn't kill Bruce Wayne as simply as shoving a knife in his chest, or his stomach.  Bane didn't break him.. We buried him alive.. Under the very spot your standing on. There isn't any point in digging, clawing at it. He ran out of air, yesterday... Maybe he fought it trying to break through the wood of the coffin.. Or he waited, desperately believing you would've tracked him down. Naively clinging to hope as the oxygen ran out.." Nyssa explained after putting down Barbara Lee.
