Bruce being a dad in the âbasically adopts his childrensâ significant othersâ way.
Like, whether intentionally or not, heâll find himself looking out for those kids that arenât his, not quite, but theyâre close enough.
Bruce, going up to Wally after a JL mission: Are you alright? No injuries?
Wally, unharmed and confused: Um. Yeah?
Wally, had been expecting a stern âreportâ: Yep.
Bruce: Debrief first, then weâre going home.
Bruce, picking up Jasonâs ringing phone while his son is in the kitchen: Hello?
Roy: Heyâ! Youâre not Jaybird.
Roy: Bruce. Why do you have Jayâs phone?
Bruce: Jason is in the kitchen. I can bring the phone to him, but I doubt heâll appreciate being distracted.
Roy, sighing: Yeah, he can be a real snob with cookinâ.
Bruce, humming: Anything I can help you with, Roy?
Roy: Uh. Tell ya what, yeah, actually. I need some files from Jay about a drug ring he was following up on, they might be infiltrating underground gangs here in Star.
Bruce: I can help. If youâre organising a bust, is Lian being taken care of?
Roy: Yeah, I already asked Kori to mind her.
Bruce, satisfied: Perfect. Sheâs welcome to bring her to the Manor.
Roy, slightly suspicious of the goodwill but wonât complain: Iâll pass it on.
Clark: B! Nice to see you. Howâs your day been?
Bruce: Good enough. Howâs Conner?
Clark, frowning: Fine, last I checked. He hasnât been at the farm in a while, but I saw him a few days ago.
Bruce: Hn. You might want to check in on him.
Bruce: Physically, yes. He seems to be stressing an abnormal amount, though. Returning to parentsâ farm might be beneficial for him.
Clark: Heâs not the type to stress for too long.
Clark: Iâll check on him, Iâm sure Ma and Pa miss him. Thanks, B.
Bruce checks his phone a few hours later to see a text message from Tim reading âi know you did something. thx, bâ.
Bruce: Youâre welcome to stay the night, Jon. Itâs late.
Jon: Huh? Oh, no, itâs fine Mr. Wayne. I can just fly back. My parents will be expecting me.
Bruce: No need, I have already informed Clark that youâre staying.
Bruce: Dinner will be ready in 10.
Bruce: Damian is waiting in the dining room. Have a nice evening.
