Hello, there! My name's Melissa (or MissWalls) Here's the first chapter of a collection fic starring the two greatest playboys.

These one shots will be written by both myself and my friend, Cheyenne (DahmerEatsRainbows)

So enjoy! Please review!

Crossing the Line

Bruce Wayne sighed as he straightened his black tie. Another socialite event where women wore dresses that left little to the imagination and men drank the night away. This was the 4th one within 2 weeks and Bruce was getting tired of the same game. When he was sure his "Bruce Wayne" look was perfect, Bruce exited the large estate where he had lived his entire life (accompanied by Alfred of course). The butler/driver held the door open while the young billionaire entered the vehicle.

"And who would be the lovely young lady accompanying you tonight?" Alfred asked while starting up the Rolls Royce.

"I'm going solo tonight Alfred, just head straight to the place." Bruce answered.

"As you wish Master Bruce."

Granted going stag isn't a very "Bruce Wayne" thing to do, but he was looking for a break from having a different scantily clad woman accompany him to every event he attended. Of course in order to keep up his playboy image he'd probably have to be seen leaving with some voluptuous blonde. The thought of it just made Bruce sigh in annoyance.

Sometimes the man had no idea why he even chose to hide behind a playboy persona.

The Rolls Royce came to a halt, indicating their arrival. With a deep breath, the billionaire said goodbye to Alfred and put his Bruce Wayne face on. Cameras flashed as paparazzi tried to get a word in with Bruce. Many of them were asking why he was without a date. Bruce of course coolly ignored them and entered the mansion that rivaled his in size.

Once inside several women looked his way. Each of them with a hungry look in their eyes. A blonde with green eyes and a too short black cocktail dress approached him.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't show up." The woman asked as she looped her arm through Bruce's.

"I couldn't stay away knowing a gorgeous woman like Heather McHenry was here." He played along. Though he'd prefer not to waste his time, Bruce thought it better to stay on the good side of the daughter of one of his company's best business partners.

"Well good cuz I was hoping you weren't planning on leaving this party alone." Heather stated in what she probably thought was a seductive tone. Bruce was only half listening. He had noticed the stares he had been getting since he arrived (besides those of lusting females) and could tell that the whispers and quick glances were definitely aimed at him.

"Let's see where the night takes us." Bruce responded half heartedly to the blonde,

"Excuse me a moment, I have…business to take care of."

The billionaire was determined to find out what had everyone staring and whispering about him. A rumor of a scandalous affair? He'd dealt with plenty of those. Maybe someone was spreading lies of him being gay. The last time that happened it took much too long to disperse. Then Bruce realized something. While he was thinking to himself the stares diverted to someone else, though the whispering continued. Bruce followed the looks and his jaw dropped at what he saw (though he quickly put a nonchalant face on). Selina Kyle dressed in an…eye catching back less red dress with her raven hair spilling past her shoulders. But that wasn't what had everyone talking. It was her date. Bruce's fellow good looking, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, Tony Stark.

To be honest it wasn't that surprising to see the two together. Bruce and Tony had known each other for years, they were friends to say the least (though neither would admit to it) and they had a thing for competing against each other. But this time Stark had crossed a line. Selina and Bruce had an on and off thing, a detail that everyone seemed to notice. Which is probably why everyone was giving Bruce odd stares and whispering amongst themselves. Needless to say, Tony should've known that dating her was off limits, even if Bruce and Selina were currently off. The pair spotted Bruce and approached him. Tony had his usual Stark smile and Selina was smirking (Bruce had gotten used to both by now).

"Brucie! Didn't expect to see you here!" Tony greeted his long time friend/rival with a firm handshake and pat on the shoulder.

"Really? You didn't expect to see Gotham's white knight at one of the biggest social gatherings of the year?" Bruce retorted. Sometimes Stark was a little too obvious. Though he's sure to love it that way.

"I figure you're a very busy man these days." Tony shrugged off. He then placed his arm around Selina's waist and had the gall to say, "By the way have you met my date, the lovely Miss Selina Kyle?"

That struck a nerve and Bruce clenched his teeth together for a quick second. An action that didn't go unnoticed by the pair.

"Of course I have. It's been a while…Miss Kyle." Bruce greeted her as formally as possible.

"Indeed it has Br-Mr. Wayne." Selina responded. She had been tired of waking up to see a picture of Bruce and some idiot badly dressed skank on the front page of the Gotham News or the most recent tabloid. She'd only gone along with Stark in order to make Bruce jealous so that they could go from being off to on. But hearing him call her Miss Kyle (which hadn't happened since their first few encounters) hurt a little more than it should have. So she decided that two could play at that game.

Bruce was surprised to see Selina wrap her arms around Tony's neck and completely ignore his presence.

"This place is boring. Why don't we go and have a party of our own?" She asked knowing that Bruce's fists were clenched to his sides right about now. Tony easily caught on to her game and played along.

"That sounds like a great idea. I'll see you around Brucie; I have much more…important matters to attend to."

And with that the pair left and of course everyone began gossiping of what they thought happened. No doubt some story about a shocking love triangle was to be the front page of some ignominious tabloid.

Bruce stayed a while longer and conversed with random socialites in order to keep his image up. But he ended up leaving early anyway and alone (much to the dismay and protests of Heather McHenry) claiming to have a migraine.

However, the reason Bruce really left was to take care of an…important agenda. And yes, it did involve revenge on a certain playboy with an artificial heart.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"Hey Pepper?" Tony Stark asked his secretary/sometimes lover.

"Yes, Mr. Stark." She responded, keeping her professional manner.

"C'mon Pep, we may be in the office but it's just the two of us." The billionaire said playfully.

"What do you want now?" Pepper asked in an annoyed tone.

"There's the Pepper I know and love. And it's that Pepper who I'd really like to join me tonight at an important business event."

"As much as I'd love to…I already have plans." The red-head stated almost pitifully.

"Oh really?" Tony responded hiding his disappointment "Any chance I could get you to cancel?"

"Not this time, sorry Tony." Pepper shrugged.

"Not a problem, I'm sure I could find a date like that." The billionaire snapped his fingers, "I mean who wouldn't wanna spend a night with Tony Stark." His playboy charm shining through once more.

In the end, Tony went to his business event on his own. His disappointment over Pepper rejecting his invitation so easily bothered him more than he lead on. As he arrived at the five star restaurant that had been booked for this private event he was surprised to find that there was a huge commotion going on over someone who wasn't…himself. This was his city after all. There was no one more young, rich, or successful in the vicinity. At least he didn't think so. He made his way past the many business men greeting him and their young and gorgeous dates who were eyeing him and was completely shocked to find out who everyone was making a big deal of. Bruce Wayne was the center of attention of tonight's event. But the most shocking part of it all was the beautiful red head that Bruce had his arm around.

"Pepper?" Tony asked out loud. This got Bruce's attention.

"Tony! Haven't seen you since that event back at Gotham. I see you've met my date, the gorgeous and intelligent Virginia Potts." Bruce said with a smirk on his face.

"Hey Tony." Pepper greeted with a smile on her face.

"But-How…what?" Tony was left speechless.

"I thought Miss Kyle would've been your date, so when Bruce asked me I couldn't refuse." Pepper stated, indicating she knew about what happened back at Gotham.

"You're not the only one who can have a little fun." Bruce said and Tony knew that Iron Man and Batman were soon to have…a little chat.

Okay, so that's the first one shot! I hope you guys liked it. Sorry it it's a little short, but there will be way more to come. Once again, please R&R!
