The BOWL; Superbat

Epilogue

Bruce called for Jim Gordon to meet at Arkham asylum where they had Joker and Lex Luther transferred back into the system. Clark and Billy attempted to rebuild the broken wall inside the manor but Bruce only tore the rest of it down. He had Clark carry the remnants to the woods where it can become dirt through the years. Both cleaned up the rest after sending Will and Billy back to their parents. Dick drove Barb home, Damien going with them to play video games he didn't have.
Clark rubbed his thumbs over Bruce's yellowish purple bruise on his cheeks. "I'm confused as why he never hit you anywhere else."

"I asked him not to. I'm in a fragile state right now and I want to speak with you." Bruce pulled Clark with him into the couch. "I don't want this to be hard on you in any way. You still go to see Lois, and I'm not threatened by it but I'm afraid that something will be jeopardized if I don't ask you this." Clark knew what Bruce was asking. "Me or Lois."

"She's the mother of my child. I can't just leave them behind."

"I'm not asking you to leave Jonathan or Lois behind. I just want to know if you're willing to leave your marriage for what may be here in the future."

"What are you talking about?"

"I- will you answer my question." Clark rubbed his face. He jumped for a second then looked around the manor. "What is it? Is someone here? My alarms would be going off."

"Another human heartbeat. I've never noticed it before. Everyone but Alfred is gone, right?"

"Yeah. Just us three."

Clark stood. "It's a little fast, like someone's scared." Bruce realise what Clark was hearing and swallowed. He glanced to to the floor and sighed.

"Sit down, Clark. No one's here."

"But-"

"Sit." He hesitated to do so but sat. "What you're hearing is our babies heartbeat, Clark."
