A couple minutes pass by before Clark and Bruce are set at the table that Bruce obviously reserved beforehand. The table consists of a circular glass table with a candle and rose in between.
"Let's go over the mission again" Bruce says, his eyes now focused. "The peguin will have his lackies pick up a dangerous weapon. What we're here to do tonight is identify who they are and stop them from getting the weapon. I will be locating the weapon an you will use your powers to find the lackey." Clark nods. He should be to find the lackey using his super sight or x-ray vision. It should be fairly easy since they will be carrying a large amount of cash on them. "I understand," Clark says.

Right as they finish decussing the fine details of the mission, the waiter comes over with the menu. "Hello I'm may and I'll be your server today!" The waiter says enthusiastically. "Today we are having a couples special where couples can get our famous pie on the house! Are you guys by any chance a couple?" Clark's eyes light up upon hearing apple pie. It had been his favorite food since childhood. He practically salivated at the thought of getting to try this so called famous pie. "No we're just coworkers." Bruce tells the waiter. Clark drops his face in sadness. He wanted to try some apple pie but the the pie cost more than he paid for his glasses. Guess he'll just have to skip out on this dish. "Alright then, I'll give you guys some time to decide on your order." The waiter walks off and it's just Bruce and Clark again. Bruce picks up his menu and begin slowly skimming through it. Clark on the other hand almost has a stroke upon seeing the prices. Ugh of course everything else would be expensive if the dessert was expensive, Clark thinks to himself. Clark makes pretty good money and is even able to save money due to the convience his multiple powers give him, but even then the prices would give him a run for his money. Bruce looks over to Clark and notices how stressed out he looks.
"Don't worry dinners on me" Brue says while giving Clark a comforting smile.
Clark felt his heart jump after saying this. Bruce had been nothing but nice to him. Driving him home and to the restaurant, and now treating him to dinner. Even if it's for a mission Clark felt guilty having Brue do all this stuff for him while giving him nothing in return.
"No way, you've helped me out so much already. I don't want to take advantage of your kindness," Brue could feel his heart swell. This is the first time anyone has ever put him before themselves. Everyone he's taken out to dinner until now has expected him to pay. It's gotten to the point he begin to feel obligated to pay for it. And why should it even matter, he's rich! They'd always tell him. For the first time he felt like he was around someone who genuinely cared about how he felt.
After some thought Brue finally says teasingly "What type of lead manager would I be if I took my co-worker out just to have him pay for himself."
