Re: 02
Bruce nearly laughed at the sorry excuse for a curse he heard falling out of the other's lips. That was Clark for you. Even in a situation where anyone could be forgiven for letting a few curses slip Clark chose differently. "Need a hand?" He asked, leaning down to scoop up the bags that had been carefully set aside to avoid the dirt and snow.
Bruce himself was in Metropolis on something of a business trip. There was a meeting he needed wrapped up before the holidays. Usually, he didn't like leaving Gotham for too long but most of his rogue's gallery had been locked up and Gotham had been quiet. With Batgirl keeping an eye on things and Robin having earned his trust, he felt confident leaving the city for a night. Maybe. Since his meeting had wrapped up he had decided to do a little shopping of his own. Even if he wasn't big on the holiday there were a few people in his life who deserved to know he was thinking about them.
