Respect for privacy was NOT among them, particularly as Bruce had spent most of his time there assigned to a barracks like environment where male and female lived and worked side by side, no consideration given to gender. So knocking was not a habit he had employed recently, and even if he had, knocking on the door to a vacant room was something he had never done. Clearly that had been a mistake, given the dark haired girls explicit led reaction, even if he had only seen her back which was not generally considered a private area. But despite the fact Bruce considered her reaction a bit of an over reaction, he understood and respected it.<br/><br/>"I apologize." Bruce repeated, just in case she had missed his earlier apology. He did not miss the offensive stance she took, and even though his body remained relaxed he was well prepared for an attack. That WAS something the League had taught him, even though he'd never had to deal with a metahuman or alien in such an environment, and he wondered if he was dealing with such a being now. Apparently so, at least if her claim about throwing boulders could be believed, and she would have no reason to make such an absurd claim if she couldn't back it up. "I thought the room was vacant, like the others." He continued, trying to explain why he hadn't expected to find anyone, much less a female with her shirt partially off, in the room. He removed the key from the doorknob and took a few careful steps into the room, not wanting her to think he was trying to attack her, as he placed the key on the dresser a few feet from her so she could lock the door to the room if she chose.<br/><br/>But being a Peeping Tom was now what she accused him of. Rather, it was...being a ninja? WAS Bruce a ninja? By definition, a ninja was simply one trained in ninjitsu, a traditional martial art believed originated in Japan, but that, again if the rumors of the League's founding were to be believed, were closely tied to its founder. So the training Bruce had received certainly included ninjitsu, and even if he hadn't officially become a member, it was his refusal to kill rather than his failure at training that accounted for it. So Bruce supposed he was a ninja., and he answered her question based on that.<br/><br/>"That was the best way to get the training I needed." Bruce explained, not about to go into the reasons WHY he wanted said training. "And assuming the being you met was the same one that recruited the rest of us, a guy with a golden helmet, he calls himself Dr. Fate, and he's begun to recruit a small group of people to form a team to defend against a threat the nature of which he has not made clear." Bruce took her threat seriously and did his best to make sense, as she demanded, but the whole crazy situation did not make sense so that was a tall order. But she didn't appear to be demanding that he leave, so he remained in the room, though he also remained on his guard in the event his answer did not satisfy her and she executed her threat.<br/>
