Chapter 1
A/N: I am trying my hardest to keep this from being another Expose! I just watched a few manip vid's of Batman and Lois Lane and the ideas started coming! I didn't know they were together for a period in the comics but I think they are great characters! I'm using CBale for Batman and Erica Durance for Lois
"Lois!" Perry called
Lois rolled her eyes, she hated when he yelled at her like some kind of animal he was calling. She strode into his office not impressed. She adjusted her suit jacket as she stood in the office she wished one day would be hers.
"Yes. Perry" she said annoyed
He held up a copy of last week's paper "Superman vs Batman, who's the better hero" she read the headline. She had only heard of the batman just recently, Superman himself had only one encounter with him as he went to Gotham to meet the caped crusader but never went into detail.
Lois raised her eyebrows wondering why she was still in Perry's office. "It's a biased piece. Two people from two different cities? There's no plausibility to the poll. It's just opinion" she said knowing hands down it'd be Superman. She smiled to herself
"I want you to go track him down" Perry said
Lois's eyes widened "The Batman? Perry.." she as about to argue
He stopped her "No I don't want to hear it. Go or your fired" he threatened
She folded her arms calling his bluff "You say that every time I don't want a story"
"And every time I win" he countered
Lois stomped her foot turning to storm out of the office. "Oh and Lois. I also want you to do an accompanying piece on Wayne Enterprises"
Lois furrowed her eyebrows "Wayne Enterprises? You mean Bruce Wayne? Why?"
Perry flipped open the paper putting his feet on the desk "Because he just bought our paper" he informed her
Lois' jaw almost hit the floor as she stood worrying if she'd still have a job when she came back from her trip. Perry peeked his head from the paper "Well standing there wont get the story done. Go! Go earn that Pulitzer you keep dreaming about" he said
Lois shook her head walking out. Bruce Wayne buying the Daily Planet, who does that guy think he is. She stormed back to her desk in a huff. Clark stood with a small smile. He loved Lois, he had since the moment he met her, but she loved someone else, she loved superman. She would never really see Clark; he knew that because if she didn't really see him, she would know that he and superman were one in the same.
"What did Perry want" he asked knowing full what happened
"Do you know Bruce I'm so friggin rich Wayne bought out the paper?" She said still fuming.
"No. Oh wow" he tried to act surprised. He knew Bruce, he knew Bruce's secret and had a great deal of respect for him. "What did he run out of things to buy in Gotham" he asked
Lois rolled her eyes shoving her things into a bag "This is ridiculous. Perry has me going to Gotham to write a piece on the Batman. Can you believe that. I mean who runs around town in a bat suit" she said raising her arms
Clark smiled "Well I should ask the question who flies around town in a cape and seems to have a crush on Lois Lane" Clark countered knowingly. He knew Lois was infatuated with superman, her articles spoke for themselves, but every night almost Lois would almost get her self into some sort of predicament so Clark could come to her rescue. He hoped one day she would love the man underneath the cape.
She picked up her bag and her travel mug. "Well Kent, stay out of trouble" she said raising her eyebrows still having not calmed down
Clark smiled "Shouldn't I be telling you that Lois?"
Lois couldn't help but smile at Clarks comment
He nodded "Superman wont be in Gotham to save you"
She smiled "You're right. Here's hoping Batman will" she walked off waving behind her
