Mun. I won't waste your time if you don't waste mine. Make up your mind - if you're going to play me, then choose the rest of your icons, find a game, and write the app. If you're not going to, there are better things that you could do with your time, and I could be back where I belong.

If you're serious about doing this, a canon review also wouldn't hurt - especially not now that you've got the DVDs.

[And there's a flash of red in Clark's eyes but it's gone so quickly you have to wonder if it was ever there.]

Be that way, but the point still stands. I want you to be safe.

[nightsknight]

[Bruce just sort of looks at him, rather coldly.]

I live the wrong kind of life for safe, Clark. I made my peace with that a long time ago. Not everything is preventable.

[Oh sure he says that but does he act like it?]

[alienfromkansas]

[He knows when to stop, so he does. He's still not happy with his answer though, and it shows.]

Your mundane should not worry. She's doing fine.

[nightsknight]

Hmph.

[Never satisfied, that's Bruce.

He might feel the tiniest bit guilty about quashing Clark like that but really now lying about his odds won't do either of them any good. Bruce doesn't expect to live to old age.]

[alienfromkansas]

[And the fact that he'll probably outlive everyone he's friends with is always nagging in the back of his mind, he doesn't like to be reminded about it. Their lives aren't easy.]

Now now, you know she is. Getting over the fear of playing any of us is a hardship in itself... my own mundane still gets nervous and she's been playing me for over a year.

[nightsknight]

Does she now?

[And here Clark is so... friendly.]

[alienfromkansas]

[He nods]

Very! But I'd miss a lot of fun if she just kept me on her headspace so I try to make things easier.

And it's not like I can stay in here while my friends are in danger- being in the facility makes sure I'm always loud and ready.

[nightsknight]

[There's this sigh.]

From what I've seen around here, I doubt her kind of 'fun' is anything I'd want to be involved in.

[Bruce do you even know the meaning of the word fun?]

[alienfromkansas]

...Would she put you in danger?

[nightsknight]

She isn't bothered by the idea.

[Of course Bruce isn't much either, he's used to danger.]

[alienfromkansas]

I guess it's... more interesting for them that way.

[Still, he doesn't like it.] Are you going somewhere? Any game?

[nightsknight]

She doesn't have any plans yet.

[alienfromkansas]

Maybe she'll keep you for places like this. Then you'd be safe.

[nightsknight]

[Bruce just looks at Clark with this slightly disbelieving air.]

You haven't seen the sort of memes that float around, have you?

[alienfromkansas]

There has to be somewhere you'll be safe and she'll have fun.

[nightsknight]

I'm starting to get the idea you don't think I can take care of myself.

[B|]

[alienfromkansas]

Of course you can. I just don't think it's a priority in your mind, sometimes.

[8C]

[nightsknight]

It's as much of a priority as it needs to be.

[Gosh Clark you're acting like he shouldn't try to kill himself to save the world every other chance he gets.]

[alienfromkansas]

My point exactly. So forgive me if I'm slightly worried you'll get yourself hurt at the first chance you get.

[He'll put you in the fortress of Solitude he swears.]

[nightsknight]

If I do get myself hurt then I'm out of action, maybe permanently, so despite whatever you're thinking that I do try to avoid that where possible. I just also happen to think that the lives and happiness of millions of other people is worth mine, should the situation call for that.

If I didn't think as much, I wouldn't have any place up in space in that seat next to yours.

[Psh like Bruce couldn't break out of much harder to break out places.]

[alienfromkansas]

I could save them. You wouldn't have to risk your life for theirs if I was there for them.

[nightsknight]

You could.

Maybe.

Life isn't always sunshine and roses. Sometimes there isn't a perfect solution.

[Such a little optimist, Bruce.]

[alienfromkansas]

Sometimes there is. Sometimes you happen to have a friend that flies at the speed of light and could help you out if only you let him.

[nightsknight]

And what about when that doesn't work? Not even Superman can do everything.

[alienfromkansas]

That... works for Batman too.
