The Next Morning

I do not own anything but I made up and added.

(all of my story idea's are my own) enjoy: LibraDiva83

Bruce and Terry boarded Bruce's private jet, it was 9 am and Terry was still outta it. Both were seated and Terry began to complain on how they didn't even eat breakfast yet. Until a private chef appeared and served each of the two their favorite breakfast meals. Terry had French toast with scrabble eggs on the side with a tall glass of orange juice. Bruce on the other hand had a nice hot bowl of cream of wheat, with a small bowl of sweet and low sugar. Along with a small glass of Lactaid milk on the side. Each of the gentlemen eyed the others plate. Bruce looked at Terry and said

"How do you drink orange juice with french toast and eggs?"

"I love french toast and OJ okay. Plus I'm young that's what we eat, foods that don't go together. How do you eat sweet and low sugar in your cream of wheat, and drink Lactaid milk with it?"

"I'm lactose intolerant unfortunately it comes with old age."

"Oh I see your having old time I get it, that explains the milk substitute now what about the sweet and low."

"My physician has explained to me that I cannot have regular sugar. It goes against my heart condition otherwise I would still be out there swinging batrangs, therefore I would have no use for you."

"Shway enough said I get it."

"There's nothing "shway" about getting old to the point where you can't digest your breakfast. And you have to use supplements to plan and prepare all your meals."

"Okay but did you see that I made a funny about your age."

"And what was the funny again."

"Old time get it your having old time. As in your having an old moment in the present time, old time. It's funny right old time."

"Do you really wanna find out how long you can really fly with those air glide wings."

"You wouldn't."

"It only takes a notion of the hand."

"That's really cruel Bruce. I thought that Batman doesn't murder."

"Whose Batman."

"Uh you are."

"Yes, but the original remember Batman's up to date now neo Gotham right."

"Exactly so that means there was another before me, the trainer and trainee as you would put it. Therefore eventually they would have to look for the person he originated from. FYI I the trainee and you the trainer, get my drift."

"Yes but the the identity of the trainer would go with along with the trainee. FYI with neo Gotham's bat boy gone already so would the original Dark knight's secret. Catch my drift."

Terry's right eyebrow raised as he was silent.

"Ah no comeback this time I do believe I've won yet again."

"You always gotta out do me don't you. Even with the back and forth."

"If you haven't figured out by now I use these little exercise of ours to teach you how to be sharp on your toes without thinking too much. Terry you must also know how to come back quick with the small talk against criminals. Most of them will use mind tricks like that to distract you. Especially if you come across individuals like the joker and the riddler. Having a laugh as they like to call it. You must be very careful or you will become seriously endangered understand."

"Yeah I understand, wow you never would know your always on."

"What do you mean by that."

"You really are the world's greatest detective because your face never gives way to the fact that your really following."

"And how would that be?"

"Cause you never smile. Try it sometime it won't hurt I promise."

"So you say I'd say it could be more painful than you'll ever know."

"And how would you know that, you don't ever."

"The joker made me once and it was a pain like no other."

"Very funny dad."

"Good one huh."

"Yeah, wait a minute are you being funny for real or sarcastic."

"I guess you'll never know."

"One of these day's I'm gonna get you."

"Some other lifetime bat boy."

"Offspring too old man."

"Okay Wayne junior is that better for you."

"Actually it is, your gonna have to get use to giving me my props Mr. Wayne."

"As you wish I'm sure you'd make a nice little t bone for Ace when we get back."

"That's not giving me props. By feeding me to the family dog that's giving Ace a goodie treat. That I happen to object to."

"We are not on trail and this is not a court room McGinnis. I suppose you'd like to take counsel with the family's attorney as well."

"I would in fact if it comes with the props."

"I cannot believe two years in college and you have still yet to speak properly. Are you even at least still registered in college. Cause if not I would like to know what are you doing with the money I am giving you for your education."

"Of course I still attend Gotham Tech."

"Attend, okay there's an educated word for you."

"It's just English literature isn't one of my best subjects."

"Clearly."

"And as for the rest of the cash you give me. Well naturally I spend it on food."

"Well I'd like a refund."

"You might wanna think about that. I can't defend Gotham on an empty stomach."

"Never mind then ."

Announcement on speaker- "Mr. Wayne please fasten your seat belts we are about to land."

Bruce and Terry sit back and stop there bickering long enough for the plane to land. Once they land take the limo waiting, 30 minutes later they pull up at Max's apartment. Bruce and Terry take the elevator to the penthouse and knock on the door. Clark answers and let them in.

"Hi Bruce, Terry nice to see you. Come in."

"Clark, what is going on here Dad. Why are we at Clark's place."

Bruce-"Because you need to see someone here. So how's it going."

Clark- "You could say it's going okay."

Bruce- "So how is she, better then last night."

Clark- "Yeah she was feeling alright this morning. She even cooked."

Terry- "I'm sorry but who are you guys talking about."

Just them Max walked in and all eyes where on her. Terry who was the only one in shock.

"Max! What the hell are you doing here."

"Terry! What are you doing here. Mr. Wayne what's going on you told him I was here."

Bruce- "Not in so many words. I just brought him here to see for himself. How are you."

Max- "I'm feeling pretty good actually."

Terry- "Wait a dreg minute here. You mean to tell me that you knew where Max was all this time."

Bruce- "Yes, she came to me for help because she wanted to get away from you. I told you that you weren't gonna be able to keep taking advantage of her, and she would just keep taking it Terry."

Terry- "So whose place is this?"

Bruce- "Max"

Terry- "And why is Clark here then?"

Bruce- "I wanted someone to keep an eye on her and make sure she was safe."

Max- "And he's doing a great job, thank you Mr. Wayne."

Terry- "Wait a min something's not right here. Max is there something you wanna say."

"Max- "No do you?"

Terry- "No, so come on get your stuff and lets go back to Gotham. I'm sorry and I will make everything up to you. I wanna be with you Max. But first we gotta get home."

Max- "I'm not going back to Gotham, sorry Mr. Wayne I'm not ready."

Terry- "Why not"

Max- "Because I don't want to."

Bruce- "But Clark you said on the phone that all she was doing was crying. Why the sudden change of heart Max."

Max- "I just got off to a rocky start that's all. But now thanks to Clark everything is much better."

Bruce & Terry- "Clark!"

Max- "Yes, so if you gentlemen don't mind I'm not leaving."

Bruce- "Did something happen between the two of you."

Clark- "Yes, Bruce we kissed and I truly am sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen on purpose. I hope you don't feel like I betrayed you in any way."

Bruce- "No not at all Max is an adult who is capable of making decisions regrading her love life on her own."

Terry- "Max can I talk to you alone please."

Max- "Sure Terry."

Max and Terry walk into her bedroom and Bruce has a small talk with Clark.

Bruce- "I knew this would happen and let me say thank you frist."

Clark- "Huh, I'm sorry but I don't think I'm following you Bruce."

Bruce- "Clark, Terry has really hurt and taken advantage of Maxine. And for the two of them to be together one day. Terry has to earn Max's love back and to do that he must in a word suffer. He needs to see her with another man who won't make the same mistake he did. A man who is more experienced than he is with life and love. Someone who knows her value and worth as a woman and individual. I can't just allow Max to disappear for a little while and then come back home just cause he misses her. It won't work, Terry has to start all over from the beginning. Or all this effort will be for nothing.

Clark- "Bruce are you saying you planned this?"

Bruce- "Why do you think I had you be the one instead of anyone else from the Justice League. I could've had Flash do it, but your the one who would have caused a bigger threat. I may not know much about woman. But I do know what woman would say no to being with Superman over Batman. You can do things that Batman can't do like say for example fly, and laser eyes and your rib cage is bullet proof for crying out loud."

Clark- "You truly are the world's greatest detective Bruce. I promise I will take good care of her, you have my word friend."

Bruce- "You better or I will come back with something green and glowing my friend."

Clark- "Don't ever change my friend"

Bruce- "I'm too old to unless you give me some of that youth juice."

Back in Max's bedroom Terry and Max get into a heated discussion.

"Why Max, tell me why?"

"He's the man of steel."

"And I'm the dark night."

"He flies."

"I fly too."

"Your wings break."

"And his cape doesn't rip from time to time?"

"Whatever Ter."

"He's a momma's boy."

"And your an aaron boy."

"He's my father."

"And that's his momma, where u always this stupid or did u take lessons."

"Really your gonna fight with me on this. So what your saying is you don't want me, you want him."

"Yes I do got a problem with it."

"Yeah I do."

"So what are you gonna do then Terry huh."

"Take you back to Gotham with me."

"I'm not going back to Gotham with you Ter."

"Oh yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Max your ass is going back to Gotham tonight."

"You must be outta your fuckin mind if you think I'ma let you drag me back to Gotham."

"Whose gonna stop me you, you don't got the strength."

"No I don't but I know someone whose got more than enough."

"Oh, oh it's like that."

"Well how did you think it was gonna be. Think you can just come up in here and tell me to go back with you cause you say you love me now."

"But I do love you Max."

"Bull, your only saying that cause you see that someone else wants me when you didn't. And it really burns you cause he's better than you and you can't handle it."

"Max I'm sorry, I just want you happy. I'm sorry for what I did to you with Chelsea and everything. I can only imagine how you felt."

"You really hurt me Terry."

"I'm only asking that you give me a chance to prove how sorry I am. I can make it up to you Max if you let me. What I gotta do, just tell me and it's done. Just please don't do this Max."

"It's not that easy Terry I can't just tell you what to do. Then it won't feel like it came from your heart and that you really mean it. You have got to show me on your own."

"Max please I'm begging you please come back with me."

"No Ter I'm sorry I can't."

"Fine I'll go for then."

Terry goes back into the living room where Bruce and Clark are waiting. With one look at Clark Terry turns his head back to face Bruce and says "Lets go home." Bruce replies "Are you sure?" And Terry's says "Yes" Max walks back out and watches as Terry and Bruce walk out her front door. 30 minutes later Bruce and Terry board Bruce's jet and head back to Gotham. Meanwhile back at Max's, she and Clark go over what has just occurred between her and Terry.

"Are you sure your alright Max?"

"I'm fine Clark what was done had to be done."

"Not necessarily you could have gone back to Gotham if that was what you wanted Max. I would've understand."

"No I didn't wanna go back. Terry can't just think that because he realized his mistake that I will just go running back to be with him."

"So you do still have feelings for him am I right. Because I don't just expect them to go away overnight. I mean you have been crying nonstop over it. I should know cause of my inability to help you through your pain"

"Don't say that Clark you have been more than enough comfort and help to me. Even through you kryptonite handicap moment."

"Thank you Maxine. Is there anything I can do for you now. I really am sorry for the way things have turned out. I've never done anything like this before. I feel like a man wrecker, I mean the whole point of this plan was to get you and Terry to be together. Not confused and fall for you myself."

"It's not your fault it happened this way. I mean you can't help the way you feel right. Anymore than I can."

"Yes, but I knew the plan with Bruce you and Terry didn't. There is no excuse for that on my part."

"It's not your fault Clark so please don't be hard on yourself. So what if Terry's hurt, I was too he will get over it. I'm not gonna apologize for the way you make me feel. "

"I won't I'll just anonymously sent Terry a package of kryptonite to come and get me with. Since he's probably already doing that anyway."

"No he's not, now there is something you can do for me."

"Anything beautiful."

"You can hold me while I sleep tonight. Come on let's go to bed handsome."

"Is there anything you can't say without sex appeal oozing outta it."

"Not when it comes to you."

Clark picks Max up and says "Hold on to me tight and close your eyes." Max says "OK" Then Clark uses his super speed and takes Max into her bedroom. Clark puts Max on her feet and says "Put your arms up and stay still." Max does it and Clark strips her down to her bra and panties, faster than she can blink her eyes once.

"Wow"

Clark laughs and places Max in the bed with his arms wrapped around her.

"What else can you do in super speed?"

"In time, you will see and experience in time."

"I am looking very forward to the benefits of this relationship."

Clark laughed and with that last thought Max fell asleep in the arms of her new man. Who was also the Man Of Steele.

A/N: I hope you guys like and aren't to upset with me. But I had to lol :) -Libra
