A little headcanon before bed… <\/p>\n
When Steph “died”, it wasn’t entirely a falsehood. She did actually flatline, and as such was dead for the few minutes it took to bring her back. She wound up in a coma for a couple months before coming out and starting on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n
Of course, getting a comatose patient out of Gotham in secret is a bit harder in practise than theory; when Bruce was looking in to making sure Leslie had actually left, he made note of the comatose patient she was “accompanying back to the girl’s parents” and put two and two together. (Not that it was all that hard). Bruce’s own feelings of guilt over what had happened to Steph keeps him from going after Leslie and his not-quite-dead Robin. <\/p>\n
The lack of a memorial in the cave was in part because he knew she was alive and in part because of the different circumstances between her death and Jason’s. The memorial was there to help spur him onwards, to remind him why the mission comes first. To put one there for Steph would have been less a reminder of the mission and more a reminder that he hurts the people around him just as much as he tries to save them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
