A/N: One of these days I'll get the hang of this time management thing. Sorry for the long wait; life kind of took a few unexpected turns and threw me for plenty of loops. School has started back up again too, and I run a small Etsy business when I can to try and keep my bank account out of the red….Anyway, enough with the excuses.
Thanks so much for the new favorites, follows, and reviews. I really do appreciate it, even though I didn't get a chance to sit down and write until now. This one's a little short, but I do have more planned and I'm hoping to get back into writing regularly.
Don't give up on me, and be sure to review this time too!

No no no no no!
Superboy had jumped from the Bioship not long ago, and the FOG was in the process of eating its way into the Wayne Tech building.
"I have to do something…" Superboy didn't even know how important this place was. To him, it was just another target, like STAR Labs; a soon-to-be-demolished company. Giving up my seat I set the Bioship to autopilot before jumping out myself, grappling hook at the ready. Please don't let me be too late! -
"Hey! You can't be in here—"
"Wayne Tech Override RG-4!" I didn't even slow down as I rolled under the falling gate and back to my feet.
-
"…So."
I sat in the passenger's side of the Batmobile, watching the lights flash by as Batman weaved through the Gotham streets. It was late—nothing new—but the team had been debriefed, and the mission was more or less a success. As he spoke, I tilted my head slightly, showing I'd heard him.
" 'Wayne Tech Override RG-4'?"
The shift in my posture was subtle, but I knew he'd caught it. Batman doesn't miss anything.
"I had to—"
"I didn't think I needed to tell you to be careful anymore." I frowned at the accusation. Is he seriously going to start doubting me?
"But—"
"Secret identity." I could feel his gaze on me even through the cowl. "Secret."
"But Bruce, it was Wayne Tech!" I couldn't help but defend my actions.
"Precisely." His tone left no room for arguments. "How would you explain having your own access code to Wayne facilities?"
"I…hacked it?" I sighed, shaking my head in defeat. Even I could hear the uncertainty in my voice. I turned to look out the window just as we pulled into the hidden drive concealing the Batcave's entrance.
"Secret identities." I glared at the waterfall as he drove through, my chin resting on my palm as I huffed in annoyance.
"Right, yeah, I get it. Secret." You're welcome.
