Alright three things,first I decided not to make it a one-shot, second I have no idea if the first date bit is real or not, and if it is then I'm a freaking psychic, third I don't own anything but an insignificant bag of peanuts
Adam tells his father about his plan to ask Batman's daughter out.
Adam sat at the breakfast table lifting the spoon out of his Fruit Loops and back in without bringing any of the soggy cereal to his mouth. Superman, or in this appearance Clark, walked in,
"Good morning Adam, breakfast of champions?" he asked looking at the cereal when Adam failed to reply, Clark waved his hand in front of his son's face.
"Whoa, sorry Dad. I'm kind of nervous." He said with a half smile in his dad's direction.
"Test today?"
"No."
"Sports Event?" Clark asked again well fixing some toast and a glass of milk.
"No, girls." Clark smiled.
"Oh, who's the girl?" He asked and took a drink of his milk.
"Batman's daughter." Adam said as quickly as he could. Clark spit his milk out all over the table.
"Martha, decided to live life on the edge there Adam?" Adam blushed.
"She's not like him. She's smart, funny, pretty, kind." Adam began and as he was talking his eyes glazed over and he thought of her. Clark rolled his eyes,
"You realize her father will flip out." Adam nodded and said,
"But she's worth it." In a very confident voice.
"Who's worth it?" A third voice said. Adam's mother walked in to the dining room.
"Martha." Adam responded.
"Martha Wayne, those queen bees bugging her again?" Lois asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee. Adam frowned at the memory of how Samantha had torn Martha down after Martha had aced a test Samantha had bombed. Even though Martha could kill Samantha in 7 different ways, her school personality was shy and quiet, so she stayed shy and quiet. A few choice words from Adam, Samantha backed off, but Martha still had to look hurt, and that was enough to tear Adam up.
"No, he's going to ask her out." Clark told his wife.
"Really, do you know what she'll say yet?" Lois said sliding across from her son.
"He hasn't asked her yet." Clark said.
"But I have heard that she'll probably say yes." Adam said.
"There's my little reporter." Lois said smiling; Adam had a look of disgust on his face at being called little,
"Mom, I'm 16 years old." Lois shrugged.
"Anyway, I've got to get to work; Perry wants to run with the Davis Story." She stood up, kissed her husband, hugged her son, "Don't worry about her dad, he'll come around as long as she's happy." Adam smiled.
"Thanks mom." Then Lois was out the door.
"Finish up you're breakfast kiddo, I'll take you to school." Clark said.
"Sure dad." Adam said and began to actually eat his Fruit Loops.
The two incognito heroes climbed into the black car. Adam put his backpack in front of his legs and a CD in the player. All-American Rejects filled the car, but Adam wasn't listening.
"Hey Dad, how did you ask mom out for your guys first date?" Clark turned down the radio and said,
"It was after a story late one night. We were across town and had to combine our notes from the scene. Your mom wanted to go back to the office, but I suggest we stop at a little Italian place and work there. We finished up the story and I drove her to her apartment. When we got there I asked her if she'd come to dinner the next night also. She said, 'What like a date Smallville?' Instead of answering, I kissed her." Clark still blushed at the memory. Adam laughed.
"Seriously?"
"And just how are you planning to ask Martha?"
"Uh, I don't know. I was just planning on asking her after math class. She's always happiest after that and I figure it can't hurt but ask when she's happy."
"Good plan." Clark said and the two feel into a comfortable silence.
"Hey Dad." Adam asked somewhat timidly.
"Yeah."
"You think this will work?" Clark smiled
"Adam, I think that if this is supposed to work then it will." Adam nodded and looked out at the road. As they got to his school, Adam saw another black car pull up behind then. Instantly he knew who is was and his heart seemed to accelerate as the car decelerated and came to a stop in front of his school. Adam shook his head, clearing the cobwebs out of his head. He opened the door, climbed out, and grabbed his bag,
"See you after school Dad." He said flinging the bag over one shoulder.
"I'll pick you up then." Adam shut the door and turned around just in time to see Martha climbing out. Her light brown hair was pulled back in a braid and librarian glasses framed her sea foam green eyes even though Adam knew it was a disguise, he still thought it made her look beautiful. He imagined her in the hip hugger blue jeans and green peasant blouse with her long raven locks and sparkling blue eyes. The image made him forget to breath. Adam took a deep breath and exhaled as she said good bye to Alfred. A turn on her heels, and she was facing the school. Adam walked quickly, trying to catch up to her while looking casual about it,
"Hey Martha." He said, proud that his voice didn't crack, shake, or get very high.
"Hey Adam, what's up?" she asked with a smile, a perfectly white smile that could blind a man when the sun was shining right.
"Uh, n-not much." He said, being blinded by said smile. He started messing with the hair on the back of his neck, "Hey are you doing something this Saturday?" He blurted out the words before he could think straight and immediately a battle ranged in his head
We were going to ask her after math class!!! Remember, you should have stuck to the plan you idiot
Maybe she'll still say yes, right
We didn't even know if she'd say yes in the first place, you probably ruined our chances
So now I ruined our chances?? We're the same person in case you haven't noticed! Oh, wait she's saying something
Well pay attention you oaf
"No I don't think so, why?" Adam turned bright red and cursed his father and the easy embarrassment that seemed to run in his family.
"Cause, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go see a movie or grab something to eat with me."
"Yeah that sounds like fun."She smiled a little wider, "Hey I got to run, Jen's gonna help me study for my chem. test second period. I'll see you at lunch."
"Yeah sure." He said as she turned down the main hallway. She walked to her locker, put in combination, let her fingerprint and eyes be scanned (some extra precautions she had put in with her half-brother Dick over the summer), and the door swung opened. She grabbed her books and turned around to see her best friend Jen.
"Hey Jen, what's up?"
"Never mind that, why are you glowing?"
"I'm not glowing." She snapped back, but still checked the mirror in her locker. Jen rolled her eyes,
"Did he ask you out?" Martha was no fool though,
"Did who ask me out?"
"Did Adam ask you out?" Jen said, very impatiently.
"Um… yeah, he did." This time Martha had no control of the bright red that filled her checks. Jen just squealed,
"Well it took him long enough. Where are you going? What are you doing? When are you guys going out?"
"I don't know, I don't know, and Saturday. Can we just study for chem., if I don't pass this class my dad's gonna kill me." Martha said, both not wanting to fail and trying to get off the subject.
"Saturday, girl today's Friday! We're going shopping today after school." Martha shook her head,
"Can't skating and training today, can you just quiz me about chemistry and we'll talk about this later!"
"Alright picky picky." Jen said, and the two began to review for their chemistry test.
