 _______________________________________________________________

Bruce rolled his way to his private elevator and went up to his office in the Wayne Industry building. He was happy he had thought of this because for the last two months since he had been back to work and word got out that he was in a wheelchair, reporters started showing up to get a glance at him.

'Billionaire crippled in mutant attack'

'Bruce Wayne no longer walks the walk'

'Man in the chair'

These were just a few headlines he had seen about him, and some were extremely harsh, saying he got what he deserved because he was arrogant.

When he got to his office, he rolled around his desk. He had gotten one that would fit his wheelchair. He immediately got to work filling out paperwork and going over business proposals.

It was nearing lunchtime when Bruce heard a loud sound outside his window and quickly turned around to look. A few blocks away he could see flames rising and people running away. He watched and his old team swooped in and started saving people and fighting.

He saw Superman fly past his building and his breath hitched. Ever since he woke up five months ago his thoughts had constantly been on the other man.

He wished he could contact him but he didn't know what to say or do. He would have loved to meet up but what if he did and Kal didn't want him anymore? Or did Clark hang around because he pitied him? He didn't want to be a burden to the man so he just never called.

Saddened by his thoughts he turned away from the scene and picked up the phone on his desk. "Misty," he called, making sure his receptionist was on the other side.

"Yes, sir," Came the immediate response.

"Order my lunch," He said, telling the woman what he wanted before hanging up.

He heard a loud thud against his window and quickly turned around to see what had hit it. He gasped when he saw who it was. Superman was hovering inches away from his window, having peeled himself off of it.

Slowly rolling up to the Window, he pressed his palm against it and sighed. "Kal," He whispered softly, gasped, and quickly removed his hand when the man turned around to look at him and frowned, he forgot about his super hearing. He knew the other man could see him, even though the glass was tinted.

Kal looked at him through the glass as Bruce looked back. Superman flew off toward the battle and Bruce sighed in relief. Just then Misty entered with his lunch. He quickly ate and finished lunch before heading back to the elevator and heading home.

Halfway there, a figure landed before him in the road causing him to slam into his breaks. He closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again to see Superman standing there with his arms crossed. The man marched towards the car and roughly opened the door on the passenger side before getting in and closing the door.

Knowing he wouldn't get out, Bruce started driving. He pulled up to his manor and turned off the car.

"Why'd you leave?" Kal asked after they had been sitting there in silence for nearly five minutes, his voice was tense and Bruce knew he was pissed.

"Kal, I..." His voice trailed off and he looked up at his house. "Can we talk about this inside?" He asked.

Without answering, Kal got out and went to the other side of the car to wait for him. Bruce opened his door and pressed a button that allowed the seat to move out of the car. He reached over to the back and pulled out his wheelchair. He opened it and transferred himself before looking up at Superman, who was looking at him wide-eyed.

"What happened?" He asked, his eyes held sorrow, and Bruce looked away, not wanting to see it.
