Bruce was walking in the streets if Gotham quietly and alone. Visions of Jeremiah haunted his mind like dropping pearls in an alleyway.  He missed Jeremiah and he didn't quite know why. He put Bruce through so much pain and torment and in a weird way he missed it.
Everything Jeremiah did was all to get closer with Bruce and how he was gone Bruce felt as though he was missing something huge and heartfelt.

Bruce got To Jeremiah's grave, he didn't do it consciously but he got there anyway. He stood looming over Jeremiah's grave, the grey sky watching over them
Bruce couldn't help but whisper,
"Jeremiah...? Can you hear me.. I-it's Bruce.."
Bruce felt ridiculous saying this as he stared at Jeremiah's grave that said
'Jeremiah Valeska, extraordinaire of creation until he took his turn to madness'
Yet even after reading that Bruce didn't regret talking over Jeremiah's grave.
A tear slid down his face as he whispered
"Miah..."
A strange figure loomed behind him and replied to Bruce's statement
"Yes Bruce..?" A gun chamber creaked behind Bruce's head
Bruce couldn't help but smile a little
"J-Jeremiah?"
Bruce turned around to see Jeremiah stood there, very much the same and very much alive. He didn't care that he was at gun point by Jeremiah with the gun now touching his forehead
Jeremiah smiled
"Why are you here Bruce..."
Bruce didn't want Jeremiah to know about why he was really here
"No reason." His speech was clear and not shaky, he seemed pleased that Jeremiah was alive and he couldn't hide that at all.
Jeremiah smiled
"Bruce.. don't lie to me- I heard everything you've said while I was stood behind you- I admire the simplicity of it- rather touching if you think about it-"
Bruce felt like he should hate Jeremiah, but it was almost the opposite, Infact he had been through so much with him it seemed highly unlikely that they would go through such a massacre again.
Bruce looked at Miah longingly
"Jeremiah...you're alive...I thought Selena killed you...."
Jeremiah smiled and lowered the gun away from Bruce
"Why? Not happy to see me? Or are you... Bruce you're a strange one to any stretch of the imagination... but I never supposed that you would miss me."
Miah let out a small laugh once he had finished that sentence and Bruce smiled towards him
"I never thought I would...but it seems I do. I've been walking and walking and no one ever seems to say that you're dead. Like people have just moved on Miah.."
Jeremiah smiled, he seemed a form of giddy
