Bruce: (=^;^=)

Terry: WTF is that!

Bruce: It's a cat.

Terry: There's no way that's a cat, Bruce.

0-*- Later in the Day -*-0

Terry: Bruce?

Bruce: Yeah?

Terry: How do you get acid off these boots?

Bruce: You don't.

Terry: Fuck

Terry: Well, you'll need to start making me another pair, then.

Bruce: Make your own

Terry: Uh, no. Remember last time?

Bruce: I don't

Terry: You are old

Bruce: Alfred always said "Well-preserved."

Terry: In other words, old

Bruce: Shut up or come make your own boots.

Terry: I like the house still standing

Bruce: Oh, that's right. *indistinct mumbling unable to be caught by TTS engine*

Terry: What the hell are you doing?

Bruce: Looking for that wrench. Where'd you put it?

Terry: What are you taking apart?

Bruce: Um, *pause* Nothing.

Terry: It's not my bike is it?

Terry: Please tell me it's not my bike

Bruce: Okay. I'll tell you. It's not your bike.

Terry: Bruce...

Bruce: I have an idea to soup it up. It won't take long, and it won't hurt a bit.

Terry: No! Leave my bike alone!

Bruce: I will now. All done.

Terry: Bruce! That's my baby! It took me three years to build that

Bruce: I know. But this'll increase the speed a little. Give you just a little edge.

Terry: If I die in a crash, I swear to God

Bruce: It's just new tires. If you don't like them, you can put the old ones back on. Geeze.

Terry: I don't touch your stuff

Bruce: You don't?

Terry: God, I need a vacation

Bruce: Kids these days.

Terry: Shut up, old man

OriginalDarkKnight: Why did you take my phone?

TWM23: Because you were getting annoying

OriginalDarkKnight: I was not

TWM23: Bruce you texted me at 3 am

OriginalDarkKnight: So? You were awake.

TWM23: And stopping a bank robbery!

OriginalDarkKnight: Who robs a bank at three am?

TWM23: They do, I guess.

OriginalDarkKnight: You still forgot to get milk.

TWM23: Really? You were serious about that?

OriginalDarkKnight: Do you know how annoying it is to sit down to a bowl of cereal and no milk?

TWM23: Bruce, don't make me lock you out of the cave.

OriginalDarkKnight: You can try

TWM23: What is it with you and milk?

OriginalDarkKnight: It does the body good.

TWM23: *facepalm*

OriginalDarkKnight: Well it doesn't if we don't have any.

TWM23: Good God, I'll pick up milk on the way home.

TWM23: Wait, isn't Diana there?

OriginalDarkKnight: Nope, University Day at the GSU.

TWM23: Aww, I miss University Day.

OriginalDarkKnight: You're still on campus three days a week.

TWM23: Yeah for night classes.

OriginalDarkKnight: Still on campus.

TWM23: You where the one that me wanted to get a doctorate degree

OriginalDarkKnight: I did, last time I checked you were fine with it.

TWM23: Well yeah, not the point

OriginalDarkKnight: I just want to use it to shove it in John's face. Sick of hearing about Rex's degree, the man has a teaching degree… big deal.

TWM23: Bitter much?

OriginalDarkKnight: Not at all. I don't understand why someone would let Rex Stewart teach kids.

TWM23: Bruce, he's a gym teacher.

OriginalDarkKnight: My point exactly.

TWM23: *facepalm*

TWM23: Alright my ten o'clock is here. Later

GreekPrincess has logged into the chat room

GreekPrincess: Morning Terry

TWM23: Well it's morning for you.

TWM23: Night here

GreekPrincess: How is Germany?

TWM23: All it's done since I've been here is rain

GreekPrincess: The whole two weeks?

TWM23: Yup, floods, everywhere.

TMW23: When I'm not in a meeting, I'm help moving people.

GreekPrincess: That thought full of you.

TWM23: Yeah, well it's one of least things I can do

TWM23: How's Bruce?

GreekPrincess: Talked to him last night. Tim was over.

TWM23: Wait where are you?

GreekPrincess: Seattle

TWM23: OMG, we left an almost 91 year old home alone? _

GreekPrincess: Terry, he's fine. Clark is staying over.

TWM23: Oh, thank goodness

TWM23: That's a like a nightmare. Leaving Bruce alone, definitely now.

GreekPrincess: He misses Ace

TWM23: We all do.

TWM23: A buddy of mine from school, his mother has a litter of Dane and Mastiff mixes. Born a week ago

GreekPrincess: Any males in there?

TWM23: One, I already called her. He's ours.

GreekPrincess: A puppy!

TWM23: lol, yeah. He'll be just over 6 weeks old on Bruce's birthday.

GreekPrincess: He needs a name.

GreekPrincess: Something that fits.

TWM23: I have one already

GreekPrincess: You do?

TWM23: Yup

TWM23: Mael

TWM23: It's Gaelic for 'Prince'

TWM23: I think it fits; he'll be treated like a prince.

GreekPrincess: I love that you speak Gaelic

TWM23: Well it's a Gaelic/Irish/some form of Celtic language

GreekPrincess: It's what your mother's family speaks. You speak with your hands more when you are with them.

TWM23: Yeah, lol, well they own a restaurant, the Reid family talks with their hands a lot.

GreekPrincess: Is that where you learned how to cook?

TWM23: My uncle and Grandfather taught me.

GreekPrincess: Terry, I think the puppy is a great idea.

TWM23: I do too. It maybe the thing to break him of this runt he's in.

TWM23: I had to take his cell from him. He was bugging the shit out of me.

GreekPrincess: He does that

GreekPrincess: That's because no one is home. I don't think he would ever say it out loud but I think it bothers him.

TWM23: Yeah, you can tell he was upset when I left.

GreekPrincess: He was.

OriginalDarkKnight has logged into the chat room

TWM23: Wait, why Seattle?

GreekPrincess: Convention

TMW23: Oh, that's right. How is it?

GreekPrincess: Pretty good.

TWM23: Hey Bruce

OriginalDarkKnight: Terry

OriginalDarkKnight: Diana

GreekPrincess: Bruce

OriginalDarkKnight: How's Germany?

TWM23: Wet

OriginalDarkKnight: Still raining?

TWM23: It hasn't quit yet

OriginalDarkKnight: Lovely

TWM23: I know right?

OriginalDarkKnight: How was your meeting?

TWM23: Went fine.

OriginalDarkKnight: What did Amsel say to the deal?

TWM23: He didn't take it.

OriginalDarkKnight: Idiot

TWM23: That's what I said. Well not to his face.

GreekPrincess: I would hope not

TWM23: Bruce, Uncle Liam is getting married

GreekPrincess: Alex right?

TWM23: Yeah, the one from Chicago

OriginalDarkKnight: Good for him

GreekPrincess: How long have they been dating?

TWM23: About 3 years, on again off again kind of thing.

GreekPrincess: When are you getting married?

TWM23: Don't start with me, Diana.

GreekPrincess: I'm not starting anything; you and Dana have been together a long time.

GreekPrincess: I really think you should marry the girl. Right Bruce?

TWM23: I am not going to talk about this.

GreekPrincess: Bruce? Tell him I'm right. Bruce?

TWM23: I had this chat with Max. My answer still stands.

GreekPrincess: Bruce tell him I'm right.

OriginalDarkKnight: I'm staying out of this.

GreekPrincess: Why?

OriginalDarkKnight: Do I need to answer that?

TWM23: He really doesn't.

TWM23: Can we move on?

TWM23: Please?

GreekPrincess: Bruce what do you want to do with for your birthday?

OriginalDarkKnight: Nothing

GreekPrincess: Really?

OriginalDarkKnight: Yes

OriginalDarkKnight: Can we do what we do every year?

TWM23: I make dinner. Have a few people over. Then watch me beat the shit out of bad people.

OriginalDarkKnight: Yes, that works.

TWM23: You have my vote.

GreekPrincess: Alright, boys, I have to go. Talk to you both later. Love you both.

TWM23: Bye Diana, see you when I get home in two days.

GreekPrincess has logged out of the chat room

TWM23: What are your plans for the night?

OriginalDarkKnight: It's morning Terry.

TWM23: My bad.

TWM23: So, what are your plans for the day?

OriginalDarkKnight: Clark was talking about making dinner.

TWM23: Oh dear, don't eat his soup.

OriginalDarkKnight: It's horrible.

TWM23: It is.

OriginalDarkKnight: You doing any night time actives?

TWM23: Just helping with the floods.

OriginalDarkKnight: Been hearing about them on the news.

TWM23: Yeah, almost half of Berlin is under water.

TWM23: I think I'm getting webbed feet.

TWM23: Can't wait to come back home.

TWM23: You think for it being Berlin, it would be snowing.

OriginalDarkKnight: They did have a heat wave this summer.

TWM23: Bruce, its January. Where is the snow?

OriginalDarkKnight: I thought you hated snow?

TWM23: I do. But, this is the first time I've been to Germany in the winter.

OriginalDarkKnight: I'll send you back when it starts snowing.

TWM23: Sounds like a great time.

TWM23: A great cold time.

OriginalDarkKnight: Well you want to see Germany in the winter.

TWM23: Is it like Gotham in the winter?

OriginalDarkKnight: I hate Gotham in the winter.

TWM23: You aren't the only one.

OriginalDarkKnight: We got more snow yesterday.

TWM23: Again? What is it up to?

OriginalDarkKnight: About a foot.

TWM23: Damn

TWM23: How is the south east wall holding up?

OriginalDarkKnight: Pretty good.

TWM23: That makes me feel better.

OriginalDarkKnight: There's still cold air coming in

TWM23: Where?

OriginalDarkKnight: My room

TWM23: Alright, I'll look at it when I get home.

TWM23: *Yawn* Damn, it doesn't feel like it's been a long day.

OriginalDarkKnight: Those ones are the ones that get you.

TWM23: Yeah, alright B, I'm heading to bed.

TWM23: I hate not having my bed.

TWM23: So can't wait to be home.

OriginalDarkKnight: Goodnight Terry. Get as much sleep as you can.

OriginalDarkKnight: Rates have gone up a bit.

TWM23: Damn, that's because they know the master is away.

OriginalDarkKnight: Goodnight Terry.

TWM23: Night Bruce. I'll call you tomorrow.

A/N: For those who have no idea who Bruce was talking about at one point. He was talking about Kenny from South Park. Because FF Net hates the formatting for this chapter. Once again I am sorry.
