Clark walked over to Bruce confidently, paying no attention to the fact that the Dark Knight didn't even stop his typing at the computer console.

"Bruce, would you-"

"No."

"Y-"

"No."

"Why-"

"I'm busy."

"Doing w-"

"I'm busy."

"What're-"

"I'm. Busy."

"No, you're not."

"Excuse me?"

"I said you're not. I checked. Bane, Clayface, Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Killer Croc, Mad Hatter, Mr Freeze, Poison Ivy, Ra's Al Ghul, Scarecrow, Scarface, Catwoman, K G Beast, Firefly, Roxy Rocket, Rupert Thorne and Roland Dagget are all accounted for."

"I-"

"Also, Alfred's been kind enough to tell me that all of Bruce Wayne functions are being taken care of by your various friends and colleagues at Wayne Enterprises." Clark smiled. "So you really aren't busy."

Batman scowled. "What time?"

"Seven thirty. You probably already know where."

The Man of Steel all but strutted out of the room.

A low growl emerged from the bottom of Bruce's throat.

I need a new butler.
