Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday afternoon

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

After spending part of yesterday giving his equipment a solid field test as he learned how to fight a giant robot, Bruce felt that today was a good day for quiet reflection, a short break from training, and watching a couple hours of shows about real life crimes on the Biography Channel. He wasn't sure why there was a two hour block of crime shows between Finding Hulk Hogan and I Survived... or if this was a regular thing, but it gave him something to focus on and take notes about discreetly in a small notebook.

Yes, this is how he liked to spend lazy Sundays.

Peter raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He figured if someone didn't call that rude, they probably were in the habit of doing that too.

Peter, well, he knew he was an ass. He embraced it.

"Fair enough," Peter said. "Might have to try and take whatever he teaches next term."

"It's pretty worthwhile. If nothing else, you'll learn a lot, and that is the point of classes," Bruce said.

"Man, I knew I was forgetting something, here," Peter said, in the most sarcastic tone possible. "Then again, in all seriousness, this is about the only school that has anything to really teach me."

Because if it wasn't, he'd have ditched the whole place when he turned 18.

"I hope you don't just mean 'how to make bombs,'" Bruce deadpanned.

"A guy's gotta have a hobby," Peter said with a smirk. He took another sip of his drink. "But seriously, normal schools teach you out of books. You don't need a school to learn that stuff. You just need the books."

"Or a teacher who's willing to go beyond them. But those are few and far between," Bruce said.

"And the Boston public school system is apparently in that large gap between," Peter said. "And besides, it's a myth that you need a high school diploma. That's only if you're not smart enough to be able to prove you're smart."

"I don't really need one at all. I'm just going into my family business," Bruce said.

Of course, his family business was a giant corporation with countless companies under that umbrella and he would be in charge of it all. But still!

"Undertaking?" Peter joked, not remembering if he'd discussed this with Bruce before or not.

"Nothing as exciting as that, no," Bruce said. "Although Demolitions might help with cremation, and Deduction could let me be a crime-solving undertaker."

"Crime-solving undertaker," Peter said. "Now there's a TV series waiting to get canceled on Fox."

He chuckled. "So what is the family business?"

"A little bit of everything. Wayne Enterprises owns a lot of smaller companies and charitable organizations," Bruce said.

"Oooh, trust fund," Peter said. "Let me know if you ever need any outside consultants. You know, for anything."

He could do just about whatever, he figured. That was his life plan, really.

"Sorry, the plan is to keep any hires local. Gotham City needs it," Bruce said.

"Wow, that's actually impressive," Peter said, gesturing with a finger. "That shows a dedication to business ethics. Especially since you didn't have to feed me that for your company image."
