[Clark frowns when he notices Bruce reaching for the bridge of his nose, he isn't usually one to show when he's physical pain so he must be fighting a great headache. Then again he likes to let him know how much he makes his head hurt when he's being particularly obnoxious, so it's nothing new.

And the news aren't good, but not surprising. If there had been a way for Bruce to contact home he would have now. He would have found a way to tell him he was alive and well and lost in time and he really needs to stop thinking about that because the urge to reach for Bruce again and make sure it's real is getting overwhelming.]

It's not the league I'm worried about... they have been more than able to handle things in the past.

[Without the three big names, no less.]

And so has... so has Lois.

[And Bruce gets a tentative smile at that as he lets go of the ring in his hand. He's aware people thought Superman had stole Lois' heart and that she was like a puppy behind him, but it was pretty much the other way round ever since day one. Lois is his anchor, and it's going to take a time to get used to not having her around.]

I think I'm more worried about what I might end doing without them. At least I've got you and the kids.
