![]() I'm lucky enough that I had Alfred with me when I first took in Dick. "But parenthood, especially single parenthood, can be a lot to handle. It wasn't threateningly, but he had a feeling this might hold more weight compared to anything the Gothamite billionaire had said previously. ![]() "I know I jest a lot," Brucie started again, and while normally Lex would be begrudgingly listening to what the man had to say, Lex could feel a shift in the air between them. He figured that the heroes thought of the man as a good distraction, whether he knew or realized he was being used or not.Īlthough, Brucie probably performed just as well when he was unaware. And there occasionally were, when Brucie was around. He didn't want to accidentally get intoxicated in public, and he couldn't trust every flute of champagne given to him if there were heroes about. He hadn't drank much this evening, and he had no plan to. "It's more pragmatism than anything else, really," Lex assured the man in a light manner, taking a measured sip from his champagne glass. He's fairly certain he's going to be seeing pictures of their 'hug' in some newspaper or tabloid article in the upcoming days. Gotham's got a day patrol vigilante now, from what I hear," Brucie reminded him, patting his shoulder once before mercifully letting Lex go. But Lex wasn't about to admit to anything. It was good to see Danny so bright and eager again, when the boy had gone through a period that was half mourning and half unadulterated panic. "No, Danny is not going anywhere near Gotham City if I have any say in it." He glanced over at his current ward, who was sitting off at their designated table (which was, unfortunately, close to the Wayne's table) chatting animatedly with Timothy himself. Hey, now that you have a son around my kids' age, they could-" "Yes, of course! And the kids too, you know. He might have once, in his younger years, but one of his children, Timothy Drake-Wayne, seemed to be doing most of the work along with Lucius Fox.īrucie sends him an 'award-winning' smile, clearly having heard Lex but not thinking anything of it. He knew that Bruce didn't actually do that much work with Wayne Enterprises these days. "Yes, your company must keep you very busy," Lex muttered dryly under his breath, about to roll his eyes before he aborted the motion. "Maybe it was? I don't know, I don't have time for the news these days-" "I thought it would have been all over the news by now."īrucie seemed to think about that, tapping his chin with his one free hand. "Oh, really?" Lex said through a tense, fake smile. "I didn't know you had a son!" Bruce, or rather 'Bruice' as the press liked to call him, exclaimed with a cheerful grin, wrapping an arm around Lex's shoulder.
