China

After years spent far away from Gotham, Bruce Wayne was finally back in his city.

"You've been gone for a long time Master Wayne," Alfred, his loyal butler reminded him after Bruce met him at the airport.

"I know, Alfred. But I must travel again soon, before coming back to Gotham for good."

"Where must you go Master Bruce?"

"Smallville"

Smallville Two Days Later

It was another fall day in Smallville. Lois, Clark, Chloe, and Lex were at the airport waiting for an important billionaire from Gotham City who had business with Lex.

Lois and Clark had come along with Chloe who had an interview with him. Her chief Pauline Kahn had asked her to do a story for The Daily Planet.

"Look Lois!" Clark pointed the plane out to her. "You can stop complaining now, he's finally here!"

"Great! I'm starving!" Lois said a little annoyed. "Plus, I read this Bruce Wayne is another rich brat coming from Gotham. Reminds me of someone else we know who's spoiled, selfish…" Lois spotted Bruce coming off the plane, "and totally gorgeous." She completed her sentence all smitten and with a silly grin on her face.

Lex approached them to introduce Bruce to them. "Guys, I want you to meet Bruce Wayne. This is Clark Kent, Chloe Sullivan and…"

"Lois Lane," Lois jumped in before Lex could say anything, shaking Bruce's arm. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Ms. Lane," Bruce grinned at her.

"Please, call me Lois."

Clark raised his eyebrows a little jealous of Lois' reaction to Bruce, but he decided to ignore it. Chloe chuckled as Lex decided to interrupt them.

"Shall we go, Bruce?"

"Sure. I talk to you later," Bruce promised staring at Lois with a smirk. "All of you."

"He is something, isn't he?" Lois asked with a dreaming look.

"A few minutes ago you were comparing him to a spoiled child," Clark reminded her.

"Am I detecting signs of disapproval from you?" Lois inquired crossing her arms.

"I'm just worried. His reputation isn't quite on the up and up from what I've read."

"Are you jealous, Clark?" Lois laughed at the possibility of Clark Kent being jealous over her.

"Jealous? Me? Right," Clark frowned.

"I already have a sister Clark, I don't need a brother."

"Can we go?" Chloe interrupted them. "You have to go back to Talon and I have to interview Bruce."

"Fine," Lois snapped at her. "I'm starving anyway."
