01st Strike | Audio

[Ever since arriving, Bruce has spent the better part his time here trying to decide how best to handle this situation. He's long since shed his costume and put it away on the lower floor of his suite. Best not to put that on for a while. After, he combed through the suite (yes in his underwear) and tried his radio with no success.

That's when he spots the console.

When Bruce activates the voice function on his console, he's putting away the Batman voice, in order to sound as innocuous as possible. He has no civilian clothes and he would really rather not have the Batman associated with him. It's bad enough the kedan saw him in costume. He needed to put some distance between himself and the suit as quickly as possible.]

My name is Bruce and it seems I've lost my shorts in the water. [Embarrassed laugh.] Would someone mind letting me know where I could find some clothes?

[At least it wasn't like...Joker or something.]

All right, I'll see you then.

[He wouldn't even know where to start with that.

He doesn't take long to get there, superspeed and all. He does force himself to slow down enough so it isn't suspicious, not knowing if Superman even exists in this Bruce's world. He knocks on the door, polite as always.]

Bruce? Bruce, it's Clark Kent.

[Clark hasn't met this Bruce's Joker either. I don't think anyone would know where to start.

Bruce answers the door, dressed in something decidedly Bruce-ish, but in the local flavor.]

Hello, Mr. Kent. [Not ready to invite him in just yet. He doesn't know him. /fry squint] Nice to finally meet you face to face.

[He wasn't expecting to be let inside so easily, especially not if he is actually Bruce Wayne. But this will only make finding out if he's a certain cape crusader a little harder.]

Indeed. [He's all smiles as he shows him a shirt and something... similar to jeans with a different kind of fabric. Definitely Clark-ish, not that Bruce would know.] I wasn't sure if you'd have gotten your hands on some clothes already so I thought... [A sheepish shrug] You can keep them, if you want.

Yeah, I've got some to hold me over until I can do some shopping on my own.

[Bruce hasn't worn jeans or anything that looked like jeans in years.]

But I appreciate it. [Smile.]

[A smile back and a dismissing movement with his hands before he folds the clothes again] Don't mention it, we have to help each other.

I'm sorry if I confused you, I'm... well. What do you know about alternate universes?

Apparently not enough. [This is his first time ever dealing with them.]

Well... let's make it short and say the theories regarding them are right, and some people from those universes will meet in here. I'm from one of those, and in it we're friends.

[That's a lot to take in. Even though it's similar to what everyone else is telling him. To learn he's got children and friends he's never met? It's a lot.]

I feel like I should apologize. [For what? He hasn't a clue.]

[He smiles, raising a hand in a dismissing movement.] It was my fault for assuming, really. I should be the one apologizing.

Not everything is going to be the same. But I do want to help out in any way I can.

Well, there's no rule against us being friends now, is there?

[Maybe that'll make his reception for his world's Clark a little friendlier.]

I'd hope not.

[He holds out a hand, his most friendly smile bright in his face.] Maybe we should start afresh.
