I Work Alone, Or Why Batman Is A Liar.

By Selene Blackburn

"No. I work alone."

The other members of the Justice League watched the Batman exit silently. For such a big man, he was incredibly quiet.

Wonder Woman sighed and shared a glance with Superman. The Kryptonian sighed as well and motioned to a corner further from the others.

"I'm concerned about him, Clark." Diana told him.

"Yes. I've felt the same way for a while now. It what can we do? Bruce-Batman- is a big boy. He can take care of himself. Has been for a while." Clark replied.

Diana looked back in the direction the man in in question had gone.

"I know. That's what I'm worried about. He needs family, Clark. And it's obviously not going to be us. Not yet."

"And to conclude my report-"

There was a loud crashing noise, and Batman stopped speaking to glare at his protege. Robin smiled guiltily and righted his chair, averting his eyes from the amused League members.

"Sorry, Dad."

Batman's eyes widened suddenly behind his cowl. The other members of the Justice League let out a collective gasp. Wonder Woman started to laugh, then stopped and grinned delightedly at Superman, sending a discreet wink in Batman's direction. Superman grinned back at her. The Flash actually stopped eating and dropped his fifth hotdog on his lap. Hawkgirl and Hawkman smiled serenely. Captain Marvel openly gaped.

Batman cleared his throat. "To continue..."

The rest of the briefing concluded without many other interruptions, except for Flash's enraged "Hey!" , when he realized he'd dropped his hotdog.

As Batman and his sidekick prepared to leave, Superman sought out the two by the door.

"I heard some criminals escaped Gotham again. Would you like me to-"

"I work alone." Came Batman's gruff reply as he left. Robin smiled sympathetically back at Superman and, with an informal salute and a back handspring, followed his mentor out of the Hall.

Wonder Woman appeared suddenly at Superman's side, smiling.

"Saw what you did there. You think he'll get any more?" She asked, referring to Batman's adopted son. Superman let out an incredulous laugh.

"No way."
