Hands (SuperBat)

Special Chapter

He heard one familiar voice talking to Bruce.

"So you weren't going to tell your own sons that we have a new father?"

"Dick, please."

"I had to hear all of this from Damian, and he wasn't even sure he was supposed to be telling me all of this. Most of my information was from gossip columns. Was this all supposed to be a secret, because you are doing a terrible job."

"It's just..." Bruce's voice trailed off. "Clark wasn't sure if he wanted to see anyone in the first place, so I didn't put it out there."

Dick sighed, "I mean, if it was all for Clark's sake, then I am okay with that." Of course he would make an exception for Kal. "But..." He stopped himself with an exhale. "How is he doing? It's been a while since I've seen him." He was calm and concerned. Superman and Nightwing, Blue and Red, were friends. He hasn't had the chance to see him since the incident with Vandal.

"He's doing better," Bruce said. "Also, he goes by Kal now."

"Kal?"

"Yeah."

Kal heard the conversation all the way from Bruce's and Kal's joint bedroom. He still had his own bedroom, but that was only for when he was overwhelmed. Kal got up from the bed. He used his super speed to throw on his clothes.

It has been such a long time since he saw his friend. He felt bad for not even thinking of seeing Dick.

Kal used his super speed to reach Bruce and Dick in the massive living room. He was happy to see him. He felt bad, but he was happy.

"Blue," Dick called.

"Red," Kal beamed. He wrapped his arms around him in a hug. He lifted Nightwing off of his feet. After he placed him back on his feet, he said, "It's been a long time."

"Yeah," Dick replied. "It has. How's things been?"

"Um..." Kal wasn't sure how to answer. He had been through so much. He barely just got back into being Superman. He still had moments where he couldn't stay present due to what he saw sometimes. "Um... It's been tough sometimes, but I'm getting into the swing of things. What's been going on with you?"

"I've been spending most of my time in Bludenhaven." Nightwing gave a summary of what has been going with him.

"You are becoming your own man," Kal complimented. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks," Dick said. "So what do I call you? Kal? Dad? Uncle Dad?"

Kal couldn't help but laugh at his antics. "Just the same as you always have."

Dick looked left and right before speaking quietly with his hand to his mouth to Kal's ear. "So you been fucking?"

Immediately, Kal's face turned bright red. He looked to the side as he laughed nervously.

At the same time, Bruce scolded, clearly hearing him, "Dick!"

"Exactly," Dick mused.

"That is none of your business," Bruce said.

He replied with a shrug, "I'm just sayin. I wonder how that's even possible. That's all."

Kal questioned, "Possible?" He was genuinely curious.

"Kal," Bruce sighed. He placed his hand to his forehead.

"You know..." Dick said. "Your super strength and all. I've always wondered about that. No homo... Um, no offense."

"Why do men always make it sound weird?" Kal said referring to the 'no homo'. He was indeed always comfortable with his sexuality.

"You know what," Bruce said. "This conversation is not meant for me." Before walking out, he said, "I'll be at the study."
