Coffee and Biscuits
Characters: Bruce Wayne and Querl Dox
Setting: Starbucks, downtown
Time: 5:30 PM, the day after Bruce's introduction post
Summary: Bruce and Querl basically have a heart-to-heart chat, and in the process? Bruce discovers he may not be the only superhero stuck here.
Warnings: Can't think of anything at the moment, but I'll update if necessary.
Day two of this world, and Bruce was already overwhelmed by how different everything was. His children were... energetic to say the least. And they were his! Honestly, truly, shared half of his DNA his! He could see it in Tim's wide eyes and Dick's facial expressions... and even in little Cassandra's smile. But they were also not his in a way; Dick wanted Bruce to sing childhood lullabies he barely remembered and Tim kept asking him to play games that Bruce never quite got the hang of. In this world, Bruce Wayne had been the perfect parent.
It was something this Bruce Wayne - the one who was putting on a facade for everyone - wasn't sure he could measure up to. How could he be a perfect husband, father, and financial adviser to someone he didn't even know? Ah, well, at least "work" wasn't hard. He was the nephew of the boss, and thus got less work than everyone else.
Today, as he sat down in a booth off in a corner, Bruce tried to sip his coffee and relax. It wouldn't be long before his guest - a certain Brainiac 5 - would come. Was he anything like the Brainiac from his world? For his children's sake as much as his own, Bruce hoped not as he looked outside the window and waited. It had only been five minutes, but it felt like an eternity.
