Batmans P.O.V
Just as we neared finishing the files I got another text. Oliver Queen was filing a law suit against Wayne Enterprises and me, separately.
I know Green Arrow (secert identity: Oliver Queen) doesn't know I'm Bruce Wayne but he doesn't seem to be the type to hate Billionares for no reason, esspecially considering his riches. Why would he- Count Vertigo, I already told him that I/Bruce didn't know what was going on "Sorry, personal business." I told Commissioner Gordon.
"Kal again?" he asked, I didn't reply becuase I had already dialed Green Arrows number.
"What the hell Arrow." I said immediately, I knew I was bordering on shouting.
"Apparently not." Gordon mummbled.
"What?" Green Arrow asked
"Oliver Queen And His Law Suit Against Wayne Industries And Bruce Wayne?!" I said "I Told You Already! He. Does. Not. Know. What's. Happening!" I said
"You're friends I take it." Green Arrow said "Well consider looking futher into him, and your 'friendship' especially since he obviously told you to talk to me about this, because that information hasn't been released to the public yet!""He's using you Batman!"
I stared at that comm for too long, too long. I punched the wall hard enough it cracked. I barely stopped myself from punching the comm. I jumped out the window.
And finally, once I was sure no one was going to over hear and had checked the chanel -and had let Green Arrow stew in his worry for a bit- I yelled
"I do NOT ... have the time, for TWO law suits right now!" there was silence
"You're Bruce Wayne." Green Arrow realised, I pinched my nose then sighed and slumped down against the wall.
"A day." I said to myself "I don't moniter what you're doing about your suspisions for a day! Because I thought you'd take my word for it. And I have two #@!&ing law suits on my hands. Oliver Jonas Queen, if you do not want hell -in every shape and form- to arrive on your doorstep, you will cancel the law suits with no explanation and say you were wrong." I threatened,
"You know my middle name." he asked sheepishly and in the distance of his comm I heard Flash yell
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET BATS SO ANGRY? I WANNA TRY IT."
"BARTHOLOMEW HENRY ALLEN I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE Y-" I stopped when the comm cut off as Green Arrow hung up and I sighed.Commissioner Gordon poked his head out the window then he saw my face (like the expression, I still have my mask on) and quickly went back inside. I jumped back up and didn't even grumble sorry as I went back to reading the files.
"Didn't know you could read angrily." Gordon muttered, then he cleared his throat "I couldn't hear anything else of your conversation but I pity 'Bartholomew'."I didn't look up.
"I do too."Supermans P.O.V
With time and a little bit of flying next to the sun my wounds had almost completely healed and I didn't need any more bandages.
I walked into the cafeteria because I had heard Bruces yelling with my Superhearing. I went up to Green Arrow
"I can talk to him if you want, what happened?" I asked,
"-maybe let it sit for a few days." Green Arrow suggested as he finished explaining. I had to agree.Two days later I flew into Gotham and to the Batcave where Bruce sat on his chair "Hey," I said, Bruce jumped about a meter into the air and readied a Batarang. He saw it was me and quickly put it down
"Kal?" he asked "How did you sneak up on me?"
"I didn't. Are you okay?" I asked softly.
"I'm fine," I didn't stop frowning and I walked up to him and cupped his face in my hands, he didn't protest as I slid off his mask and revealed concerningly dark eyebags and half-open droopy eyes, he had a bruise and an untreated cut with blood dried around it, one on one cheek the other on the other.Suddenly Bruce swayed standing up and fell into my arms
"When's the last time you slept?" I asked and he didn't reply. After pulling him up into my arms bridal style he passed out within seconds.Once I had walked over to his underground bedroom and into the bathroom connected to it I ran the bath. I took his clothes off while it filled up with water and frowned at the other uncared-for inguries.
After checking the temperature I dipped Bruce into the bath slowly while being careful to keep his head above the water, blood slowly turned the water red and I cleaned the cuts while washing the dirt and grime of Gotham off his skin.
I pulled him out, dried him, lay him on the bed, then went to take a shower myself but before I could an alarm rung. Bruce shot and and spun around to the noise "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." I whispered,
"I need to... Vertigo." Bruce groaned
"What does he do?" I asked
"Check Bat-" yawn "- sbnal, plug ears, he makes dizzy, mechan eye..." Bruce trailed off and he fought his eyes closing
"Don't fight it. You can sleep now Bruce, I'll take care of your city until you can." I reassured him, he looked at me but he let his eyes close and slumped down onto the bed
"I'm hwlb oo oo vab." (I'll hold you to that) Bruce mumbled as he finally let himself sleep.I put on my Supersuit and flew to the building with what I guessed was the Bat-signal.
"Superman?" Gothams Police Commissioner asked
"Gordon was it?" I asked
"Yes, pleased to met you Superman." he said
"Batman's fine." I reassured "Just... taking a break of sorts. I'm covering." I explained, Gordon nodded
"Well, Joker got a giant pie laced with Joker gas and threw it onto the city hall. He's saying he's giving Gotham a 'pie in the face'." Gordon said and I had to physically blink to make sure this wasn't a hallucination. I knew most of Batmans villians were crazy, but, wow. I suppose this Vertigo was still scheming.I flew back into the Batcave and wiped some off the cream that dripped into my eyes, I was covered in it. I was greatful that I was immune to all poisons including Joker gas but the whole covered in cream thing made me look stupid.
Safe to say, I was taking that shower now.
...
The shower hissed to a stop and steam made breathing fell soft and more solid and the air far too humid. I dried myself off and made sure the air vents were working then I put on the boxers and finally went to join Bruce in his bed. He didn't wake up as I lay down but he unconsciously wrapped his arms around me and pulled himself closer.
"Good night Bruce." I mumbled as I fell asleep next to him.
