The three were still laughing when the familiar noise of the doorbell echoed through Wayne Manor. Alfred bustled towards the steps to greet the visitor.

Upstairs, Alfred was already at the door. "Why, hello Miss Kyle. How may I help you?" the butler asked. "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to see Bruce. Is he here?" asked the dark-haired woman. Alfred's face fell.

"Master Bruce has left with Master Clark just now. You must have missed him, Miss Kyle." said the butler. The woman just nodded.

"Err… okay. Just tell him I stopped by. Where's Kitten?" asked Selina, as she looked for the boy behind Alfred. "He's doing homework with Miss Barbara." He said. "Oh," was her reply, and left with a goodbye to Alfred.

"Who was that?" asked a female voice from the top of the stairs. Alfred turned around to look questioningly at the red-head. "That was Miss Kyle, asking for Master Bruce." Explained the English man. The girl just nodded, and ran to the study, where her friend was still laughing at Batman through their communicator in the Batmobile.

When she reached the Batcomputer, she heard Batman grumble. "I swear, Robin, Batgirl, when I get my hands on you-"

"Not until you catch us first!" they two said together.

"Really, Bruce? You would hurt your own son?" came Superman's voice in the background. "Don't say a word, Kent, or else I'll leave you to handle Bane on your own." Batman growled, and the two assumed he was using his 'Ultimate Batglare' on the Kryptonian.

Superman nodded vigorously, and looked in front. 'Why does it have to be me to patrol in Gotham with the Bats?' thought the hero. 'Why can't it be Barry or Oliver? Both who has already coped with Gotham?'

Batman looked at the man beside him, and smirked. 'He must be asking why he had to do patrol, and not Barry or Ollie, who already know how Gotham's like. It's good to bring some newbies! I have to do this more often!' thought the Dark Knight. He is really enjoying himself.

The Batmobile came to a halt in front of an old warehouse. "This is where Bane was last reported to be." Robin said over the com-link. "And he was trading weapons when he was there. Oh, and offering protection to some mob bosses." Batgirl explained.

Batman nodded, thanked the two and went out of the Batmobile. He turned to the waiting, confused blue-and-red-clad hero. "Stick with me. This is a stealth mission. Got it?" he growled. Superman gulped, but nodded. He wasn't good at stealth missions, so he better be careful.

Besides, who knows? Maybe he could get a few bruises by the end of the day.

Terrific. Absolutely brilliant.

It's gonna be a very long night.

'Alright, plan in action! I'll disappear, and let Clark handle Bane alone. This is going to be interesting….' Batman thought.

Trolling mode is on!
