"LIAR!"
*Lois grinned but looked almost disappointed.*
"Thought as much. He doesn't seem like the type to stick around and talk."

Super Sekrit Identity!
"No," he said, with half-smile. "Mostly just shows up, says only what he needs to, and then is gone again."

"Well, next time you see him, tell him his manners suck," *she meant it to sound funny but it just ended up sounding sort of pathetic.*

*The smile softened a bit*
"I'll tell him more than that."

*Lois smiled, letting him know that she truely appreciated his humor.*
"Can't imagine the Bruce Wayne having this much free time on his hands. Don't you have like an empire to run?"

"Between you and me...I'm more of a figurehead, really. I'm not even on the board...though I am a majority share-holder..."
*He was grinning again.*

"Really?" *she said, holding back a laugh.* "I think I feel an article coming on."
"So, what do you do with all that free time? Other than buying things that aren't for sale, driving things that cost more than my annual salary and dating ballet dancers, of course."

*Bruce laughed*
"Well, I also help a costumed vigilante, and also take in folks that need help or need to hide."
*His expression turned a bit serious*
"This city is rather hostile towards people in general."

"But, ironically, friendly to murdering sociopaths," *she said rolling her eyes, which was a big mistake. It just made her feeling a whole lot dizzier. Lois took a moment and sat down.*
"If you ever have time left over after all that, you should look into the local election. I think you'd find it pretty interesting"

*One eyebrow went up. Up until now, the people of the city's only proof that they cared about politics was the revolution.*
"Oh? Who do we have running?"

((Aahahaha!))
*Lois gave him an incredulous glance.*
"You don't watch a whole lot of TV, do you? Well, one's all over TV and the other seems to be more... obscure. So far it's Harvey Dent and Richard Wilkins. If I'm not wrong, Dent is from Gotham," *she explained.*
"I've been meaning to dig a little deeper but I all of this came up. But I have a huge contact list so it shouldn't be a problem."

*Now both eyebrows were up in surprise*
"Dent? Why the heck is one of Gotham's boys here in Paris...?"
*He sighed, shaking his head*
"Never mind, that sort of question never gets a good answer."
*He glanced at Lois*
"Never heard of the other guy...and, I didn't know about this because we seem strangely empty of television around here."

"Really? That's strange. We had no less than a dozen international cable channels working at the Daily Planet," *she said, frowning, ignoring how weird it was to have all of the Daily Planet in 19th century France. She had found it easier to ignore those kind of things long ago.*
"Seeing as how I'll be free-loading off of you for a while, I can look into this for you. Or anything else for that matter," *she offered.*

"Thanks, I'd really appreciate it. In fact..."
*For a long time, there'd been somebody he'd been worried about*
"...I've been wondering about a friend of mine. What with all this weirdness going on, I haven't had the chance to see who else was affected. Rachel Dawes...?"

*Lois looked thoughtful. The name sounded vaguely familiar.*
"Do you mean Gotham's assistant DA? I'll see what I can do."
