Bruce had shown up a little early to check everything, making sure there were no explosives, no hidden psychopaths lurking under the floorboards or hanging from the ceiling, but, thankfully, it seemed as if nothing was wrong, and nothing was going to go wrong. At least, judging by the interior and exterior-- as well as the surrounding buildings, not that he had told the twins that he had quietly checked these as well.

Knowing Kaoru and Max, at least, would hassle him endlessly if he decided not to show up in costume, Bruce decided to go for something decidedly less than flashy: something that would let him blend in with the crowd more, avoid notice, allowing him to watch for potential threats and problems more easily.

Attired in the fashion of Sherlock Holmes, save for the color of the attire (black, gray, and dark blue as always), complete with a smoking pipe (not filled with anything but air), and a magnifying glass, and, concealed beneath his coat and jacket, his utility belt.

And so, more the quiet observer than the partier-- Bruce Wayne, if he had ever existed as Batman had presented him to Gotham, would be rolling over in his grave-- he admired the work of the twins and watched.

It took some time before Kaoru managed to free himself from the deluge of people who arrived, but he was glad to see that among them was in fact Clark Kent himself, the man who had encouraged Kaoru through the first tentative steps toward self-awareness, self-preservation for the sake of those around him. The auburn-haired Japanese boy had taken matters into his own hands in ways he'd never thought would be possible until he was at least 20 or older. Maybe until his parents had passed on - not that he'd ever wished for such a thing.

Finally, he made his way over to the design that Clark was looking at. Will he know it's me? "It pays the bills... funded the backyard project, after all," he said simply.
