«Excuse me, I think you may have dropped your book»

There are meetings when he's himself - joking a little, but otherwise focused and professional.

But then there are days when he's distracted. He's present with his body, but his mind is somewhere else. He takes frequent breaks or leaves the meetings early.

Bruce, like a concerned teammate should, investigates. If Clark is bothered by something, he needs to know by what and how to put a stop to it, so it doesn't jeopardize the team in the worst possible moment.

So he starts gathering data and looking for connections.

At first there's nothing.

Different times of day, weather, Sun's activity. Different people sit by his side every time, sometimes there's a crunch at work, other times everything is slow. His parents are fine, the farm is debt free, and Luthor is in prison. There's nothing going on that would cause such distraction. But if that was the case, Superman wouldn't have acted strange.

Bruce digs deeper, analyzing everyone on the team and comes up with nothing again.

And then he analyzes himself - the only option left, and the dots start to connect almost instantly.
