[After a few expertly feigned false-starts, Bruce manages to set the communicator to record and the video feed focused on himself. He's a man in his late thirties; the classic tall, dark and handsome. His hair is playfully mussed and the tie to his visibly expensive executive suit is drawn slack enough to reveal a lipstick smear on his neck. He wears the lazy smile of someone who has never had much difficulty having a good time.

All in all, it's a thoroughly convincing charade.]

I must have overindulged on the bubbly because I don't remember the Big Apple ever having its own border control. Is that a new initiative?

What's more, it would appear that I've mislaid my butler. He has my appointment book, but I fear I'm long past expected at a Community Health Center ribbon-cutting in Gotham.

I'd be loathe to flake on such a worthy cause, so would someone be a dear and call for a car? You can be my plus-one.

We're an inimitable breed.

Maybe you can charm her into sending your butler over.

[crusades]

He'd certainly be of better use.

Yeah, well. Too bad the Porter doesn't care much about convenience.

[crusades]

What does she care about, might I ask?

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

Throwing us curve balls.

Hope you have a good power.

Never had much use for, ah, superpowers before, but you make it sound as though I'll be needing it.
