The Mock Ad
Wayne Manor
After setting the camcorder on the tripod, Alfred turned it on and pointed at Bruce who was sitting behind the desk in the study.
This was all part of Bruce's homework assignment which required everyone in his class at Anderson Prep Academy to make a video ad explaining why they would make a great president.
"Are you ready to begin, Master Bruce?"
"Yes, Alfred," Bruce replied then started to pretend he was writing something in a notebook.
Alfred counted down from five and when he got to zero, Bruce closed the book and looked up.
"Hello citizens of America, I'm Bruce Wayne. I've decided to take some time out of my busy day to share with you my beliefs which I think make me more than qualified to be the your next president. If elected, I will ensure that we continue to be a prosperous nation. I will continue to ensure that our education system remains the envy of the world, I will continue to ensure that the United States military remains second to none in terms of strength and force projection capabilities. I will ensure that affordable healthcare is available to everyone, I will work with our allies around the world to address the issue of climate change and I will also ensure that…"
"Your security still sucks," Selina shouted as she walked onto the set.
Alfred simply slapped his forehead while Bruce looked to his right in shock.
"Selina, can't you see I'm having a conservation with all of America right now? And security at the White House doesn't suck, the Secret service guards the place 24/7."
"Sure, as long as there aren't any Columbian bimbos and or truckloads of coke in close proximity. Otherwise your beloved secret service will be just as component as the GCPD No offense, Detective Gordon."
"And another thing Selina, what's wrong with…
Sensing that he was about to say something extremely stupid, Selina grabs Bruce by his shirt collar and kisses him.
"Now to spice up this boring speech," Selina said then hopped up on to the desk as Bruce kept blushing.
"Hello everyone. I'm Selina Kyle, your future First Lady and Empress. As someone who knows Bruce Better than anyone in the world, let me be the first to tell you that he will do very well as our President because I will be right behind him... with Fish Mooney's bat if he screws up."
Upon hearing that, Bruce simply fell out onto the floor.
"Now as for the rest of you, I strongly insist that you vote for Bruce Wayne. If you don't, I will find you and CLAW YOUR EYES OUT AND I'LL DO THE SAME TO ANYONE TRYING TO RUN AGAINST HIM TOO."
Alfred would've deleted this, but he was too shocked to do anything.
Selina hopped off the desk and retrieved the tape from the camera.
"Now if you'll excuse me Alfred, I'm about to go and have this tape broadcasted to all of Gotham and don't worry, Bruce will get it back in time for school tomorrow," Selina said then walked out of the room.
Shortly after she left, Bruce opened his eyes and got back on his feet.
"Alfred, where did Selina go?"
"She went off to make the whole city to endorse you as a future presidential candidate."
The look on Bruce's face said it all.
"Oh my."
