[ He's seen Clark around the place often enough, and Bruce is rather amused just how closely their circles seem to cross- though, given the limited amount of prominent Newcomers in Port, it might only be expected. Still, Clark's working- in more ways than one, because who better to recognize that Superman is listening in for bombs and threats than Batman, who is doing the same?

Lois is with him. Which is, he supposes, a good thing- and also makes it clear that the Lane-Kent journalism team are still going strong. Good.

It's halfway through the party that he finally slides over to Clark. ]

I don't get an interview? [ Brucie Wayne, stat. ]

[And he's known you were here since you stepped through the door, but honestly Bruce, he was busy. He flicks his eyes over as Bruce sits, leaning forward.]

Well that really depends, doesn't it? Check your left pocket. It's new tech--I found it under one of the desks. A remotely directed microphone, I think.

[He broke into a big, bright grin, completely foreign to the actual conversation they were having, but enough to break up anyone's suspicions that they were having a serious conversation.]

At the very least it might be useful to you.

[ At the mention of the mic, Bruce shoves a hand into his pocket and thumbs it- superspeed is definitely useful in these cases. He keeps a grin on his face, leaning a little more into Clark, making the entire scene different from the outside so people won't realize what they're actually talking about. ]

What makes you think that it's not mine in the first place?

[ And he pokes Clark's chest, for good measure. ]

[A roll of his eyes and Clark bats the finger away, shaking his head.]

I can never find yours. Under a desk, seriously? I think you could do better than that.

Oh, I can. It'll involve breaking and entering and removal of several floorboards and hollowing of the tables.

[ He grins, all sharp edges before he shrugs expansively at him, lifting up a palm. ]

That's not the only one, is it?

No, it isn't, but I haven't been here before.

[If he gets stopped and searched it's a disaster, since he has his pockets full of the things right now.]

I think they're just trying to complete your 'Gotta Catch 'Em All' collection of cameras and audio devices.

... Did you just compare surveillance tech to Pokemon-- never mind, of course you did. [ Eye roll. Then- ]

Superspeed them to me. I'll deal with them.

Because Bruce Wayne needs pockets full of spytech.

[But his pockets are heavier a moment later.

He reaches over and pats the chair beside him.]

No, because no one has any reason to look into Bruce Wayne's pockets- and if they try, he can throw a fuss without being out of character.

[ He drops into the chair - his leg is starting to complain - and mildly kicks Clark in the shin. ]

Uh huh. Ouch! [It doesn't hurt, but the act of 'Ouch!' needs an actual word to get the right energy out. And he pretend smacks Bruce on the back of the head for it.]

You've got new stitches in, but you keep ripping them open. You ever think about letting things heal?

[ And he punches Clark on the shoulder idly. ]

I'll let them heal when the crazies from my city stop doing anything. [ Dryly. ] And when the crazies from this city stop targeting important people.

[ Basically, never. ]

[He raises his hands in mock surrender, then crosses them behind his head, leaning back.]

So basically never?

[Yeah. Also Jason. In glasses.]

What about healers? The fix everything type?

They did all they can.

[ Which is the truth. And also all that Bruce would let them.

I saw Jason in glasses. It is cute. ]

Are you here to nag at me?

Uh huh. You broke your ankle before.

[Oh look the ceiling is interesting.]

I'm here to work. Twice. And I'm on a date.

[Pause.]

Maybe. Sort of.

kingofrooks July 20 2011, 02:58:17 UTC
Has anyone told you that your x-ray vision is really creepy and invasive? [ Dryly. Then- ]

If you abandon your date to nag at me, I won't take responsibility for what she would do.

isitablurred July 20 2011, 03:02:18 UTC
I didn't X-ray you for that. I just remember half carrying you out of that lab, and your stupid 'Leave me, I'm done for' act. Remember? You're heavy incidentally.

[His eyes snap down.]

Besides which I'm pretty sure she finds it cute. Don't ask me.
