It seems Kal is the only one who knows that words are for communicating here, I like how you describe him as loving and compassionate without ever being patronising. He seems to know when to keep to the background and exactly when to step up and take action.

I know! He was so so good here. *hearts him* So understanding, not pushing Bruce, just being there for him, helping him, and, when necessary, telling off the BatClan, lol. *hugs him*

*grins* There is a quite a bit more to come, actually! The sequel has turned into a monster...

Thank you for commenting, Eve! I'm really glad you liked it! :D
