With the way Clark was hovering, both figuratively and literally, one would think it was his own child that he was fretting over and not an animal! Though considering whom the animal apparently belonged to, Olly thought his friend's current upset state was more than a little appropriate. 'And funny too,' he snickered to himself.
Clark usually donned a professional face and tried to remain as neutral as possible during the few squabbles that usually happened during these meetings. To see the normal calm, composed Superman essentially freaking out over the tiny, swaying figure on the table, arms stretched out as if to catch the thing if it fell over, which was starting to look more and more likely, was rather comedic. Olly wondered if it was the farm boy in him that had Clark acting like a mother hen.
The tiny bat, that Diana had told him in a rather disbelieving tone was named Lex, was standing in the center of the long meeting table, his drooping wings spread out for balance as it listed slightly from side to side. It was no wonder Clark looked a bit freaked! A gentle breeze would be enough to knock the creature over.
It was then that the bat actually did flop over onto his side with a tiny flop. Clark made a rather distressed sound and righted the bat back up, only to start the whole process over again. The wings hovered out; the bat wobbled for a bit and then fell down on his other side with a "foomp". Clark righted him again and the cycle continued.
"Why don't you just let it lay down?" Hal asked, leaning forward as if to poke the bat. Clark made a motion as if to smack the hand away and Hal took the smart route and pulled back quickly. Sadly, he knocked the table with his knee when he moved and the bat went down again. Olly smothered a snicker.
"I have no idea if that would be better or worse," Clark muttered, leaning forward to rescue the downed animal once again. "Could someone get on the net and look up how to care for an dizzy bat?" Lex fell over again and Clark twitched.
"I doubt anyone has ever had to take care of a dizzy bat before," Diana frowned.
"Do you suppose we should be taking notes?" Hal chuckled. "We could sell the information to zoos all over the world."
"How about we put it in a dark room to get its bearings?" Diana suggested, ignoring Hal completely.
"How about we just let it fly out the door?" came the growl from behind Olly and he rolled his eyes. Wally was standing behind him, a length of pipe in his hand that no one was quite sure where he had zipped off and gotten from, just glaring at the tiny bat.
"Wally, you do realize we're in space… right?" Hal drawled.
"My point exactly," Wally continued to. "That thing tried to kill me!"
"Lexington did not try to 'kill you'," Clark frowned at the other man before standing the animal back up for a fifth time. "He just… has a habit of hanging off people."
"Perhaps he thinks we're trees?" Hal chuckled.
"But what about rabies? Bats have rabies, right?" Wally asked frantically.
"True but I do not believe Lexington suffers from such a malady," J'onn returned smoothly. "I also highly doubt Bruce would appreciate us shooting his bat out of the air lock."
"What?" Wally nearly dropped his impromptu weapon. "It's Bat's bat?"
"Well why else would there be a bat here?" Clark snapped worry and frustration clear in his voice.
"How was I suppose to know he brought along his mascot!" Wally snapped back, though he did set down the pipe. Taking a seat at the far end of the table away from the still swaying bat, he continued to glare at the little thing. "Why'd Bruce bring it anyhow?"
"He didn't. I did," Clark explained as he stood Lex up again.
Jaw dropping, Wally looked to the others and just stared when they nodded in confirmation. His gaze swung back towards Clark disbelievingly. "For crying out loud, why?"
"They followed me to work and I brought them here to give back to Bruce," Clark stated as if this was an every day occurrence. 'And who knows?' Olly wondered to himself. 'It very well could be with how worried he is over the thing.'
Wally had froze at that announcement for a moment before he started looked about the room wildly. "What do you mean 'they'?"
It was then that three other bats suddenly flew out from their hiding places and started circling above the now flailing Wally. Hal and Olly burst out laughing when he finally fell out of his own chair. He wasn't sure, but Olly could have sworn even J'onn let out a small chuckled when the other bats had appeared from about the room.
A fourth bat suddenly appeared and landed on the table, ignoring the other three still doing little dive bombs at the shrieking Wally. Olly watched intrigued as to what it was up to. He was not alone in his study however. J'onn he was surprised to see had leaned forwards slightly to watch the two bats in the center of the table intently.
His own wings spread out wide, the larger bat leaned forward and just barely nudged the other bat with his nose. It was all it took though as Lex tipped over and fell onto the table with another "foomp". J'onn chuckled slightly as Clark instantly reached over and situate Lex again only to have the larger bat once again nudge him over.
"Stop that," Clark scolded, gently pushing the larger bat away. It was all for naught however as the other three, having successfully terrified Wally, suddenly descended on the two on the table and surrounded Lex, chittering madly. Lex couldn't take the stress it seems and tumbled to the side once again with a squeak of his own.
"Oh for the love of-" Clark finally reached down and plucked Lexington out from the center of the bats and just held the animal close to his chest. "Where the heck is Bruce?" he finally muttered.
Olly blinked in surprise before he groaned and raised his hand to gain Clark's attention. "Forgot with Wally and everything but I got a call from Robin." All eyes were suddenly on him. Even the bats seemed to be looking at him. He winced before plowing ahead. "Seems there's an issue in Gotham. None of them are coming."
Clark stared at him in disbelief before he dropped his head into his free hand with a groan. "Figures."
