For the first time since arriving Clark smiled "How long have you known?"

"About as long as you have" he stood up and moved past Clark, edging him out of the way without a second thought of who he was or what he could do "I knew after you came to ask me about Lois, I was certain once you came and asked me about Jess. You're life seems to be revolving very delicately around my ex-girlfriends, you should watch yourself, there are worse."

"That is a terrifying thought."

"This is something else man, why hide it? Why hide it from us?"
"Are you really asking me that? Top five smartest men on the planet and one of the very few who runs around without a mask, tell me Tony, how many times has your 'I am Iron Man' stunt put the people you love in danger? Ra's knew who I was, knew where I was and knew how to hurt me. I have enemies your enemies couldn't create in their nightmares" he growled out the last part, seeming all the more imposing now that his secret was out.
"Are you saying my enemies aren't worthy? Cause I don't know about you but I think I've fought some pretty imposing baddies."
Bruce turned his gaze past Clark and stared Tony down "You're a clown Stark, you make jokes but your baddies are now your fiance and you have no idea how to stop her."

Clark looked between the men and felt the anger welling up inside both of them.
He knew who the winner would be in this fight and he didn't want to have to hurt Bruce.
"Men please, this is ridiculous and it's not getting us anywhere. Tony you've got your answer now unless you're here to help with the investigation I suggest you sit down."

Tony took a step back and shook his head "This is all really messed up."
Bruce sighed and looked in to the doorway, where Alfred stood with a plate of tea and cookies.
"Alfred-"

"I've settled Master Dick in to his new quarters. He made mention that the towels are too soft."

Bruce actually chuckled "I think he's just gonna have to buck up, his bathtub is as big as his bedroom was."

"Yes he also made mention of that, said he didn't know how to swim, so I told him not to fill it up all the way."
Alfred turned to the super heroes staring at him "Hello sirs."

"Alfred is not only my butler, but my closest confidant and the man who raised me. I assure you gentlemen our secrets are safe with him."

Alfred bowed slightly and set the tea down "I brought a large cup for Mr. Kent, he broke my last one."

"I promise it was an accident-" and suddenly that Superman persona was gone and there was little Clark Kent from Smallville apologizing for accidentally letting the cows out again

Alfred smiled gently and handed him the thick metal cup, he knew the man of steel could crush it if he wanted to, but it was less likely to happen accidentally this way "It's not a problem sir" he offered Tony a cup and he declined while looking more confused than ever.

Bruce patted Alfred on the back with a smile "Thank you Alfred, I'm going to take these gentlemen downstairs, keep an eye out for Dick won't you?"

Alfred bowed his head gently and went back toward the kitchen, to finish the dishes.
In the kitchen was a small television where he usually watched his evening stories, tonight it was tuned to the security system. Alfred rolled his sleeves up and started the dishes, praying for a full staff again one day.
