I shouldn't be this annoyed.

Rationally, I know this. Bruce trained all those people to be as used to secrecy as Ma and Pa made me to being open and friendly.

They don't know any better.

I shouldn't be this annoyed with not being called when Bruce was hurt.

But the fact remains that I am, and Diana is off on a quest, and I can't talk to

Lois quietly closes the door to the stairwell leading to the roof behind her, although she knows she won't have the element of surprise she was might have hoped for.

"I thought I might find you up here."

He doesn't look up, continuing to scan the night sky.

"He should've called."

[_loislane_]

She moves to stand behind him.

"A simple phone call might suit most of us, but you of all people should know how he is. It probably took a combined effort just to confine him to a bed in the first place."

He smiles faintly, imagining Alfred calling in Huntress and Nightwing to hold him down while Alfred sedated him.

"I worry about him so much sometimes. With all he can do, in the end, he's just a man..."

Lois sighs lightly, remembering her conversation with Mar'i and finding the irony in it all.

"So are you." She murmurs, more so to herself. "Bruce has to be aware of his limitations, even when he's stubbornly ignoring them in favor of going out there and doing what he feels he needs to. I doubt all the worry in the world is going to change that or him."

"It's not just him I worry about."

He sighs, resting his chin on his hand.

"I probably shouldn't feel responsible for all of them, but I do. Things like this...they make me wonder if I shouldn't be doing more somehow."
