The double murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne was a major shock to the world. But the sole witness and survivor of the loathsome crime was none other than an eight-year-old boy, which was also the last remaining Wayne. The couple sole heir and son to the Wayne fortune.
He was a long-time family friend of theirs and also did some business with the company and their Lawyer when it came to the privacy of the family and the rare occasion of when there was a problem at the Hospital with patients.
He was surprised and distraught when he heard of their deaths, as he could not imagine someone does something so heinous and pointless. He knew the damage that this would do and the domino effect that it would impact on Gotham. He knew there was not a lot that he could legally do as he was immediately removed for the business as he knew certain company wanted him out of the way so they could do certain illegal dealings that he had stopped them doing before.
He was still the family Lawyer and sole keeper of the Will and testament of Thomas and Martha Wayne. He made his legal duty in arranging what was necessary and the legal paper work required for the Butler to be the legal guardian of Bruce Wayne.
His relationship with Bruce Wayne was not a close one closer to the Father as he watched him grow up with Tomas Father and he was done Thomas godparent. Despite seeing the Butler as a negative candidate to raise Bruce he honoured Thomas' wished and fell through with that would make him the legal guardian.
He was going to need assistance with this loathsome case that he had taken on upon a whim, letting his past emotions luring him where a regrettable action that had led to him do this without a single thought.
With Bruce's babysitter out of town, he needed someone that could be trusted to keep an eye on the young man and make sure that he is kept out the headlines. Someone that can ensure that they can guarantee that can keep him out of trouble and his playboy antics.
The Clark family had known the Wayne family for several generations and had always been a friendly relationship that had then evolved into working relationship and help when needed.
Unfortunately, this relationship had been dissolved the moment that Martha and Thomas Wayne had been so cruelly slain. Bruce Wayne was the one to severe the relationship completely when he did not want further contacts after the Funeral and the will had been read. Although their business was still running through the Butler, there was no relationship kept at all.
From what he remembers his daughter Martha had kept an eye on the Wayne boy the few times that he had babysat him. This was before she had married Jonathan Kent and made the mistake of choosing marriage instead of a successful career as a Lawyer. He knew that Martha bonded with the children that she babysat and at an early age she always wanted to be a Mother.
His Granddaughter was the only good thing that had come out of Martha's relationship with Jonathan Kent. He was kept of the picture the day that she was adopted by them and his relationship with his daughter and Granddaughter was severed because of this. He blamed Kent for this. Well, he knew one thing for sure that his Granddaughter would not have the life that his daughter was now living. He would ensure that she would be more than a mere Farmer with the power and skills that she had she was capable of anything.
In that moment he knew someone that would make a great candidate to watch over the Wayne boy.
He had to ensure that his Granddaughter had a future and would not spend the rest of her life as nothing more than a tool to be used on a Farm. Even the name of the town itself should that it had no potential or promise in the future and remains what it was 'Small' and nothing more.
The town itself was the perfect description of Jonathan Kent. The man who had taken his daughter from him and had taken her down to a lower class. When she had been capable of so much more and was nothing more than a housewife and meaningless hand on the Farm. This was not the future that he had soot out for her when he had hoped that one day she would take over his business when he retired. He wanted to keep the business in the family but instead she had taken over another family legacy and left his behind.
Now there was the potential that his Granddaughter could carry on the family, and this was something that he could just not let slip through his fingers and let the opportunity pass him. It was not just an opportunity for him but for her as well and from what he knew of her biological family this is the future what they desired for her as well. An opportunity to change she and the world in more ways than one would need to have knowledge of the law of this. She would need the law by her side so that she could change it and mould it into the shape that she needed it to be.
