Back at the former site of the Lexcorp tower, a collection of police cruisers, ambulances, fire trucks and a few support mecha were investigating the scene. In one of these ambulances, Doctor Larry Clarke sighed as he stirred the cup of police provided coffee. It was warm, which he supposed was all he needed from such a beverage. And a little kick, but he doubted it was from the caffeine. The bitter taste did more than enough.

"Here, have a blanket," said one of the paramedics at the scene. He tucked the blanket around his shoulders and patted them with a friendly smile. "You all right sir?"

"Yes," Clarke said with a nod. "Er... What's the blanket for?"

"Well, you're probably in shock considering what happened to you," the paramedic said cheerfully. Clarke sipped his coffee.

"I don't feel like I'm in shock."

"That's probably the shock talking," the paramedic said. He patted his shoulders again and headed out of the ambulance, walking over to confer with some other medical personnel. Clarke sipped his coffee again, and grimaced.

"Blech..."

"You okay?" Asked a familiar female voice. He jerked in shock and looked over to his right. There was Supergirl, sitting and smiling cheerfully in mid-air. Wearing a black dress that he really didn't think was doing his heart any favors. And she still had the Red-Kryptonite on a necklace around her neck, only now nestled just atop the curves of her breasts and oh my...

"Ah... Hello," he said. Supergirl smiled.

"That's not what I asked. You're wearing a blanket-Are you in shock?"

"Apparently," Clarke managed. "Um... So..."

"We're going on our date now," Supergirl said, reaching out and grabbing his arm. Clarke coughed.

"Ah... Not that I don't want to but I'm kind of in shock-"

"You'll be fine," Supergirl purred. "Also?" And here she grinned. "You don't have a lot of choice."

"Ah," Clarke nodded. "Gotcha."

On one hand, Waynetech probably wouldn't have this bullshit. On the other, he was on a date not entirely against his will with Supergirl.

Either way...? He wasn't going to be putting this on his resume any time soon...

Batman and Superman had dropped the protesting Lex Luthor off at the Metropolis police station, and returned to the former site of LexCorp Tower. Superman scanned from above, making sure there were no surprises left. Batman meanwhile was investigating on the ground, using an array of scientific devices in concert with his Detective Mode. Between the two, there were very few atoms left unscanned in the area, and they met by an ambulance to discuss their findings.

"No fall out, nothing left of his experiments," Batman said with a shake of his head. Superman smiled.

"Nothing toxic left... It's going to be a while before even I can punch through his underground facilities. Which ones are left and aren't completely sealed up." He looked around. "By the way... Where's Doctor Clarke?"

"The paramedics say Supergirl took him out on their date," Batman said. "Why? Do you think he needs to be in a hospital?"

"Well, Kara is still on the Red-K," Superman pointed out.

"And yet you said it yourself: She isn't too dangerous. Just a bit... Free spirited," Batman pointed out.

"Would you be so relaxed if Nightwing was off on a bender?" Superman asked with a raised eyebrow. Batman scowled slightly more than usual.

"First, it is not the same thing as beer. Second, that would never happen. Finally, your city. I'm playing by your rules here."

Superman sighed. "I just can't help being concerned... She is my cousin, after all."

"I'd worry more about her date," Batman said, adjusting one of his Bat-Scanner-Things-That-Superman-Had-Not-Been-Paying-Attention-To. Superman raised his other eyebrow and tilted his head.

"We have complete and perfect control over our strength. I don't see how-"

Supergirl appeared, wrapped in a heart stoppingly brief red silk robe. She smiled brightly.

"Um... Kal? I need the JL communicator," she said. "And a beamup to the station."

"... Why?" Superman asked. Kara beamed, her Red K necklace glowing.

"Um... I was a little rough with Larry," she admitted. "And I kind of forgot the password for the Fortress medical bay sooo..."

Superman stared at her. Supergirl opened her mouth again.

"See, I kind of broke his pelvis-"

"Here," Superman said quickly, handing his communicator over to her. She beamed.

"Thanks Kal!" She kissed his cheek and flew off, leaving many a staring paramedic and cop in her wake. Superman shot an indignant expression at them, and they all went back to their jobs. Superman sighed, and closed his eyes.

"You can stop smirking at any time, Batman."

"I could. I'm not going to though."

And that's it! Hope you enjoyed.
