@MxtroPrince more than one occasion he's used 'I'm driving, I'll kill us,' when Dick was insistent on playing his EDM, he'll bust it out on Kal no problem.

"But in consideration for your delicate sensibilities, I'll compromise. 70's Roadtrip mix. Take it or leave it."

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince Scoff. "Why would you pick the music? I'm the one driving. That's the rule."

If he has to go for any extended amount of time listening to Kal's preferred brand of cloyingly contrived, mass produced easy listening disguised as pop music, he will drive straight into a pole. On +

@MxtroPrince begrudgingly agree, after patrol is done."

"I can't make promises how much or little of a supercar I'll bring, though. Would Clark Kent like a ride to kidnap me for breakfast?"

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince therapist why you so often compare my expressions to 'constipation,' Kal." He says, typing a few more keys, before turning to face him, his arms folded across his chest.

".. But as bossy as you're being," he starts, one eyebrow arched (actual human clothing, pshaw), "I can +

@MxtroPrince never a lull in all this. You know that." But he didn't sound like he was being completely dismissive.

A pause. "I'm not stepping away for a night." An unspoken 'but' followed, heavy in the pregnant pause.

@MxtroPrince reporter. Conspiracy theorists might start putting too many pieces together if they gave them ammunition thoughtlessly like that.

But Blüdhaven might be safe. Most people outside those two cities won't even know who Bruce Wayne is, let alone what he looks like.

"Hn. There's +

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince poking and prodding and needling him just enough to get these little reactions. They're worth the price of admission.

"Your patience certainly isn't made of steel," he remarks casually, finally turning to glance at him with amusement in his unmasked eyes.

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince There's another little twitch to the corners of his lips.

Maybe he does, Kal. ~ He's suffering no illusion that Kal is fucking 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣, he could obliterate Bruce without breaking a sweat, if he really wanted to.

But he wouldn't. That's where the sun comes, from +

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince beat. "But if you're not able to sneak up on me, I doubt any kidnappers or hitmen could get close."

Of course that's his first assumption as to what Kal meant.

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince at the screens, typing a few keys on the electronic keyboard to switch a few views, the center screen displaying a live feed from a Central Gotham security camera, pointed at a particularly infamous corner of the city. It's quiet, for now.

"You can try," he says, not missing a +

@MxtroPrince just strolled off of a magazine photoshoot. Bruce is held together by espresso.

"Hn," he says, looking back to the screens. "I'm more shocked that you're helping at all, and not just trying to guilt me into a vacation or whatever else."

Lip twitch.

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince push-ups before breakfast. That's his balance.

When Kal doesn't try to drag him away from his computer, Bruce allows himself to relax, somewhat. He even listens actively as he speaks, glancing from the screens back to Kal. His annoyingly perfectly coiffed appearance like he +

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince he finishes with a shrug, gesturing to the screens again. "Detective work."

𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥'𝘴 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 isn't a title they just hand out to people sitting on the sidelines, Kal.

[𝙱𝚛𝚞𝚌𝚎. @GothxmsPrince]

@MxtroPrince worth actually making into a thing. Not yet, anyway. He relaxes again.

"He's patrolling, yes," he answers vaguely, looking back at the screens. "He's gotten very good at handling the spur-of-the-moment crime on his own. It frees me to turn my attention to the bigger things," +
