Esme's not as opaque as she likes to think she is. Especially since the trade she worked out to get said scanner is to have the local Stitch'n'Bitch crew knit a cuddle toy for a sick baby bat-alien. XD

This sounds like such a lovely story and Esme sounds so great!

The Lego Batman story came together okay! I was kind of hoping it would go in the direction that allowed me to write Lego porn, just for the cracky hilarity of it, but Clark and Bruce are really not at that stage... I'm just lucky to get them closer to friendship!
