Can't run from me.....

She smiled, anticipating the moment.

The scientist was fleeing, but Katalyn was in front of him, not behind. He didn't see her because he was focused on the falling shadow of the Batman.

Sticking out her foot from the shadows she smiled, satisfied when he crashed to the alleyway with a yelp.

"You'd think a genius would have some sort of aircraft on his rooftop," she shook her head, muttering as she went to the fallen man as she coughed. "I mean please. Running from a Bat on foot is just stupid."

She reached down and grabbed his gun, trigged her left claw and sliced through it, then chucked it. "Hold still. The Bat's a second away," she laughed softly, golden eyes gleaming as she put a foot on the back of his neck. He made some muffled growl, but she only rolled her eyes, then looked up, grinning.

"Hey. There you are," she said. This was a good night. A very, good night.

Leslie jumped slightly as a huge thud, like an explosion, went off.

She started, then hurried to a window as the lights flickered.

"What on earth?" she stared.

"It's him," Batman groaned, wiping a thread of crumbs off of his mouth. It felt weird, he was used to his chin being full of stubble by this time in the morning, especially with his lack of sleep lately, and this was so smooth. He jumped off the counter and went to the window too.

"Is it anywhere near us? Cause if it's far that's a pretty big explosion." He was itching to go outside and on the rooftop but he highly doubted Leslie would let him hear the end of it.

Superman stood by the phone head hanging down looking pitiful, on his way to the call box he'd already been stopped three times asking if he needed help. Being asked for help in gotham? Said it all. He picked up the phone and called Bruce, he really didn't want to see him.

Leslie looked up as Bruce's communicator went off.

"This can't be good. If that's Superman you tell him I'll be there. You need to stay here and make sure Nightlife is alright when she wakes," she said sternly.

Superman asking for help indeed, he had a sinking feeling from that explosion.

"Yeah, I know. Leslie's coming to pick you up," he said wryly, touching the side of his cowl where his communicator was. He rolled his eyes, shaking his head. If Superman was indisposed? They were in for it.

"NO NO" he said quickly "I'm fine......" he lied "Uh, I just, uh, I got that sample for you, uh destroyed the labs....um, scientists ran sorry, but I got you a sample, I'll fed-ex it to you or leave it on your doorstop or something but seriously, DO NOT come get me"

"Tell that stubborn little indestructable to stay put. If he's a child he should be with you and Nightlife until the serum is made," Leslie snapped, getting her coat and keys.

"Look, Clark. She's comin' to get you, don't move and don't go anywhere." His voice was a tad exasperated. "We need to stick together and all that."

"No no no" he said again "I'm fine all good, honest" he nodded despite the fact the bat wouldn't be able to see. "Besides if I was a child again, I, well come on, me? I'm superman like I'd be affected....?"

Leslie got the location, then went to the door. "Stay put. If Nightlife wakes make sure she stays inside to. I'll be right back," she said, then left.

"We'll be fine," he assured her, and set to look out the window again to see if he could see anything. A grin broke out on his face, thinking about what happened to Clark. Sure it was disastrous, but amusing. Not that he'd admit that.

Superman is sitting and pouting at the curb. "Who do they think they are to boss me around" he grumbled to himself.
He hadn't exactly liked being a kid the first time around, second would be hellish. "Could go home......." he pondered "Might get there before they get here........"

Leslie stopped the car in front of him, shaking her head and rolling down the window.

"In, Clark, now," she said, her voice allowing no room for dissagreement or protest.

A pair of bat-binoculars were peering out of the window, a little kid smirk underneath them.

"This is so embarrasing" he muttered opening the door to get in, accidently pulling it off in the process, his lip trembled "Sorry"

"It's alright," she sighed. "Get in and fit it back on...."

She waited for hm to get inside, then sighed. "We need you with us, young man, in case there are side affects yet to be presented. This is no time to be vain or egotistical."

The bat-binoculars were quite visible in the morning light if Supes looked back at the clinic, and he might hear a snigger or two.

Superman put the door back on crossing his arms. He looked at her "I hated being this age first time let alone again" he sighed. He glanced the way of the clinc before sinking low in the seat. "I want to go to the fortress........ can't cause harm there"

"You'll be fine," she said, looking over at him. "Just focus on the control you had as an adult. And you won't have ot do this for very long. As long as you have that sample reversing this should work."

He glanced over at Katalyn, a smirk still on his face, thinking it was a pity that she was missing all of this.

He held out a vile "Thats it" he said, sinking so low in the seat he was actually in the footwell. "I think they had some other bad things in that place" he murmered. "cause I have a headache" he murmered looking at her with big blue eyes. "And the bat is gonna make me suffer over this" he sighed.

She takes it carefully, then looks at him as they arrive to the street, and she parks.

"Bruce is finding this as difficult to deal with as you do," she said. "Now sit up and buck up. At least you still have your powers. I'm afraid Nightlife and Bruce have even lost those."

Bruce turned around from the window, going back up to sit on the counter, feeling like he could think better when perched up like this. Okay, so maybe it wasn't the top of some high gothic building, but whatever. As amusing as it was, his adult side came back with some serious questions. Of course, what were they going to do now? Not only were they back at square one, but they got Superman involved, too. That now put Metropolis in danger, and maybe even the world. Your fault again. You told him to come here. He bit his lip, the look on his face was incredibly stormy.

He sighed "Yeah, big compensation" he pouted. "Uncontrollable superhearing and more strength than I know what to do with, lucky me," he sighed "Be nice to be 'normal'" he said "And I don't want to buck up" he said

"Well you have no choice, as none of us do. Bruce is not dealing well with his loss of size and power, andNightlife has already suffered due to the same," she said severely. "We'll have all three of you right as rain soon enough, now stop pouting."

Back in the room, Katalyn stirred slghtly, opening her eyes.

"Dr. Leslie?" she frowned, looking around fearfully.
