"Severus? Yes I- I met him" he sat down across in front of a fireplace whose fire he wasn't sure had ever gone out. He gave up his formality quickly and set his head in his hands "Were you two aware of the 2 acrobats that were murdered this evening?"

"Mr. Wayne I really must ask-"

Once again Bruce held his hands up "Please, sir, that boy that was with me? His name is Richard Grayson, he's their son. He had to watch as two thugs shot and killed his parents tonight and I had to watch my childhood flash before my eyes in gruesome detail."
He'd seen so many deaths since then but this was something he was yet ready to unpack "And now, if you'll forgive me, you're here grilling me about murders someone I don't even speak to anymore committed?"

Clark scanned Bruce and found that his body was consistent with that of a man feeling grief, though once again his push in to Mr. Wayne's mind was stopped by something immovable, something stronger than even him; and that scared him to death. "I understand your grief Mr. Wayne and I am in no way here to impose upon you, but this woman she's- something I've never seen before. She's powerful, quick and damn near immortal, she commands an army of disposable clones and spends her nights throwing basketballs and oversize oranges at people from 10 stories up. Mr. Wayne, there must be something you can tell me, anything that could help us stop her before she hurts more people on a massive level."

Bruce sighed "She was kidnapped."

Clarks heart sank, if this is what happened after Bruces ex girlfriend was kidnapped what happened to Lois? "If you could elaborate."

He sighed and rubbed his face "Jess moved in- quickly. She had been in a bad spot and I offered to help her out for a while, it was a whirlwind kind of romance. But fairly early on I was targeted by a man named Ra's Al Ghul-"

"That's the guy" he arched his neck in a way that made it obvious to the other two men that he wanted nothing to do with this conversation. But the truth was, if anyone could save her or- stop her. It would be Superman.

"What would a man like The Demon want with you?"

Bruce looked at him, like, are you serious? "What everyone else wants from me- money," he sighed "instead of say kidnapping me and beating it out of me, they went after Jess. Ra's I guess employed uh um oh what's his name, the Scarecrow, god damn Dr. Crane. I worked with a few times through the Wayne Foundation, always very strange. Anyway something he did turned her in to that, Jess called her a parasite said that it felt like something living in her brain. We thought it was something psychosomatic so she was on anti-psychotics, we even went to London to see a doctor-"

"That doesn't make sense" he shook his head "he doesn't need money-"

"That's what he told me" Bruce shook his head "the note said it was for money, I told him he could have everything just give her back. Batman saved her-"
"No no no, you mean you saved her" Tony took a step forward past the walking wall and shook his head.
"Excuse me?" Bruce laughed indignantly "What you're saying that I had the ability to save her and just let the bad guys take her? Are you stupid?"
"Stupid? No, cocky? Well that's a conversation for another day. You. Are. The. Batman. I could break it down for you if you want-"
"Oh this should be-"

Clark took a step between the two humans looked down at Bruce, facing his back toward Tony "This wasn't the conversation I came here to have, but Mr. Stark is pushing the issue."

Bruce's face changed, a darkness swept over it like a fog covering each bit of light with nothing. This wasn't at all the conversation he wanted to have today, this was the last thing he even wanted to think about today.
"If you two plan on revealing me, then I might as well reveal one of you, Mr. Kent-"
Tony looked up at the reporter in a daze "Hold the phone, big bad superman is actually mild mannered reporter Clark Kent?"
