[ of course, diana wonders briefly if she should tell him or change the topic of conversation to something a little less buried in her past. she has kept a tight hold on all of her cards, no matter who she happens to be sharing them with.
she can't see him doing anything damaging to himself or her if he knows of maxell's name.
noting how he's folded his hands, she feels a little less like he's opening them up to try and solve one of her many unsolvable problems. ]
His name was Maxwell Lord. [ maybe bruce knows of him, perhaps he doesn't. he's young, no matter how he may try to convince her otherwise. ] He owned Black Gold, an oil company in the 1980s that was not doing very well. [ pursing her lips, she corrects, ] I don't believe it was ever going to do well.
My parents had an interest in dealing with him in the 80s. Not that I knew about it at the time. Wayne Enterprises was in a bit of financial ruin and they thought maybe they could enter a business deal with his company. It seems like it mysteriously fell apart in the infant stages though.
[ he has no idea why. it was more or less off the record. things he found in the journals his father left behind. a lot of the ideas and backdoors of wayne enterprises was off the record. the power struggle in the company meant there wasn't much trust. ]
[ she takes a sip of her coffee, using it as her way to think of her answer. she can't help it; she has always thought of her answers, never wanting to give anyone any reason to think she's not as normal as they are.
nodding, ] Yes. [ with an upward quirk to her lips, she can't help but be a little amused that he immediately suspects her of doing good. or perhaps she'd done wrong against maxwell. she isn't quite sure, even years later. ]
A very long story cut very, very short, he had a monkey's paw and it was destroying the world. I had to make him stop it or there would be no world for him to live in. I guess the rest of the world slowly forgot what had happened after.
yoooo ages later, but here is the bat as you requested
[ namely because he had looked into the mysterious sightings of 'the wonder woman' over the years. call him curious after seeing her in that picture from world war i. he doesn't know all of it, but, he's seen pieces of her life. ]

I take it you had a hand in stopping his company?
