Oh it was just his luck, Lex Luther was behind this job? What, nobody was gonna mention that? It was just supposed to be some hacking, maybe crawl through a few vents, punch out a guard or two. Now it was the secret files on who knows what, code names were made for a reason, and now he's handed them over to that crazy pot. Which would be all fine and good, big pay day, go home and try to straighten out his stupid life, but no, no it was never that easy in Gotham. Not when master criminal's like Lex came into town, more than likely bringing the Man of Steel himself.
And lo and behold, Johnny boy was right again, they might as well have been fighting a tank. Goons flew left and right, Lex was gone long before ole Boy Scout got there, of course. Did he believe any of them of not knowing where Lex was, of course not.
As if it couldn't possibly get any worse, at the end when everyone was through a wall, up in the rafters and laying all over the warehouse floors, who should show up but Batman himself? Johnny was just a hacker, this was WAY over his pay grade, he could hardly take out beefy guards, he couldn't take the Dark Knight! Or get past him, Superman already threw him through the door to the security room. All the camera's in the world couldn't have helped them at the speed Man Wonder came crashing in on them.
"Any of them still awake?" Batman quipped, was he trying to be funny, impossible to tell.
"Possibly." Now Superman WAS trying to be funny, but no one could get the Bat to laugh, it wasn't gonna suddenly start now.
"Kal." Ole Bats growled, chiding really. Yes, shame on you Superman. Johnny wasn't going to clear the matter up for them though, as long they think he's out he won't have Batman interrogating him. That certain aint a legal way to do anything.
"Sorry…" And he sounded like it, like he just got in trouble. "But Lex-"
"Caught and handed over to the authorities, he's as predictable as any billionaire." Johnny could see a playful smirk on Batman's face from the few camera's still functioning. What the-
Suddenly Superman was grinning and clapped his hands against Batman's shoulders, had to be controlled since the Dark Knight didn't even flinch. The Man of Steel was like a child in the gleeful way he thanked the other hero, like it was load off and he could go fly home and finish the latest season of his favorite show now.
"So~" He cooed to the stoic man. "You free tonight then?" That…was a very suggestive way to ask that…what did he mean by-
"Hmm, I suppose I could take off early, my previous plans were rudely interrupted." Batman, far smoother than Johnny was sure any other thug had ever heard him. He moved closer to the alien with this smile on his face…it was terrifying.
"Perhaps you could pick up where you left off?" Supes suggested, mimicking the Bat's movement, so close and the angle of this one screen made it look like they would, they would never, but it they just moved just so they'd be…oh my god, they were!
Johnny shut his eyes, but the image of the darkest man alive and the guy who probably started the idea of good and just, they were locked by lips. He peeked and screen was still playing this horror movie of unrealistic plot. Superman had a hand gently cradling the Batman's face, fingers slipping past the cowl, while the Bat had his own hand on the waist of fucking steel like it was normal.
It felt like Johnny's life pasted him in manner of terror and the end was moments away, cause all reality was gone and nothing was left of time. Truly though, only a few moments passed before Batman pulled away and patted Superman's waist, like a lover's scolding for distracting him.
"Let's resume this at the cave, the police are on their way and the night is still young in Gotham." He said, both of them disappearing from the view of the working cameras.
Johnny laid in silence for what felt like hours, wondering if that was real or the hit to the head he took when he crashed through the door. It was a very sturdy door and Superman has a lot of strength.
"I'm gonna go work for tech support." Sirens drowned him out.
