This Ain't the Golden Years
Chapter 5
October 4, 2058
I have three emails from Bruce, but I haven't opened them. Does he think I'm stupid? I'm not going to let that jerk give me another computer virus. Hah!
I wonder what Terry thinks of the video. I've really got to think of a way to pay Babs back for that. It really is funny. Alfred was trying to teach him how to cook something and Bruce totally screwed it up. The whole kitchen was a disaster. Either he must have been drunk or he was having a REALLY bad day.
By the way, I heard that there was this really big fight over in Metropolis. Hope that Supes okay. He may not look it, but the blue boyscout IS older than me. Heh, maybe I should send him a box of vitamins. I bet he'd love that.
Hmm, which gives me an idea…

Bruce is threatening to place a bounty on your head. He's also threatening to kill me. I think that's just because I sent copies of the video to the Kents, the Stewarts and a few other people.
Bruce is also mad that you won't open his emails. He's also not very happy with the boxes of vitamins and anti-wrinkle cream that you sent him.
(P.S., is there anyway to get the video to Diana? I kind of doubt that the Amazons have internet connection.)
By the way, War Hawk's been acting high and mighty lately. Any suggestions?

Subject: Stewart Baiting
As with Bruce Baiting, Stewart Baiting requires a certain amount of creativity. In other words, it depends on the situation. If you want to get him, you have to do it when he least expects it.
I always found that doing the opposite of whatever John told me to do was fun.
Whatever you do though, make sure that you make a fast escape. Rex has Shayera's temper.
(BTW: Wasn't Rex hurt at that fight in Metropolis?)

Fellow Leaguers,
Batman has been placed on temporary probation due to an unfortunate incident in the infirmary.
We suggest that all disputes that may erupt between League members be solved with less unusual methods. We do have two Guidance Councilors on staff. Use them.
Have a nice day.

Today the pupil has surpassed the master. However, Bruce didn't seem too pleased about it.
Come to think of it, neither was Clark.
Hah. They're just jealous of my superior influence. Terry finally got Rex back today. While still injured from his fight in Metropolis, Rex foolishly tried to escape the infirmary. In a classic move of sheer brilliance, Terry helpfully duct taped him to the bed.
Then he sent me a picture. It was hilarious.
Hmm, the phone's ringing. Let me check the caller ID. Ah! It's Bruce! I bet he's calling to yell at me. I guess I should answer it, it's the only decent thing to do. Hold on.
Ah, the joys of pissing Bruce off. He accused me of corrupting Terry and threatened me again. He also told me that I'm not allowed to communicate with the kid anymore.
I told him to go drink some prune juice.
