   Summary

   Bruce Wayne has to do it all. He has to, because he chose this path. No one forced him to be Batman, to be the CEO that Wayne Enterprises needs, to adopt Dick Grayson and love him more everyday. No one forced him into this, really. Except that he's suffocating under the weight of it all.

   -

   In which Bruce wants to be everything to everyone, but he just cannot burden others with all of him.

   And Clark Kent is a sucker for kind eyes and has a 'I can fix him' complex.
