First Contact Part 2
Upon arriving in the driveway of Lex's Mayor Bruce was already waiting by the front door with Lex.
"Master Bruce here is Master Clark your guess." Alfred started opening the door for Clark.
"Hello Clark, I believe that we should be going right." Bruce said.
"Yes let's go, I told Chloe that we'll be there at 7:00." Clark excited to surprise Chloe.
Bruce turned towards Lex and shook his hand signaling his good-bye. Alfred held the door open for both Bruce and Clark.
"Lex I shall come back to talk to you about the research building." Bruce's last words before heading into the limo.
Not too soon after, the limo started heading out the drive way and headed towards the big city of Metropolis.
"Alfred… How long will the drive be?" Bruce asked while pulling out some drinks Clark and him.
"Sir, it will take approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes." Alfred replied.
"Thank-you Alfred you can close the window now I think Clark and I should get to know each other better after all he is my guess. What do you want to drink Clark?" Bruce using his hand showing the closure of the window and the showing what drinks he had in the limo.
"Anything Non-Alcoholic." Clark knowing that he was underage to drink.
While Bruce was getting together the drinks he was dying to know how Clark and Lex got together.
"Clark you wouldn't mind me asking, how did you meet Lex. I know that it's not often that a Farm boy meets a billionaire's son and becomes the best of friends" Bruce handing a drink over to Clark.
"One day I was coming home from school depressed about how he couldn't get close to this girl." Clark wasn't about to tell the truth why he was really depressed. "And Lex was speeding down the road playing with his cell phone and happened to run off the bridge into a river. I jumped in after him pulled him out." Clark was not telling the whole truth but only what the cover story was.
"Well that's sounds very heroic of you Clark. I would have done the same thing. How do you like your drink?" Bruce pointing to the drink.
"It's good." Clark taking another sip of the drink.
"That's good, so Clark you girl is a Journalist right? What do you want to be in the future?" Bruce now taking a sip from his glass.
"Well I was thinking about saving the world in a nice little costume and becoming the people's hero." Clark laughing. "Just kidding, I was thinking more or becoming a Journalist. I mean I've never been as good as Chloe but I still I'm interested in the profession." Clark responding only knowing that the reason he wants to join is because he wants to be closer to Chloe.
"Well saving the world isn't that far way." Bruce acknowledges. "Journalist is a good Profession I'm surprised by your choice you don't really look like a Journalist. But in this country anyone can be anything." Bruce said.
"What about you Mr. Wayne, what does your company do?" Clark asked.
"Clark I thought by now you would be calling me just Bruce. My company is involved in plenty of fields ranging from defense contracts to your local farming community." Bruce responded.
"That's nice. If you don't mind me asking are you in a joint business with the Lex corp.?" Clark now wanting to know more about Wayne Enterprises.
"Well in a matter of fact we are in joint business with Lex corp. We are currently both funding the United States Space Program." Bruce couldn't tell Clark what part of the space program that they were funding.
The window to the front seat slid down and through the little window you could see the Metropolis sky scrapers that shaded the lower parts of the city. All the lights were on in the city as the limo were now just 30 minutes away. The sky was now a bright pink with streams of clouds that turned different colors of orange every time you looked at them.
"Master Clark, where are we heading to pick up Ms. Sullivan?" Alfred asked.
"Alfred we are heading to the Daily Planet." Clark responded.
"Thank-you Master Clark." Alfred pushed the button to close the window down once more.
"So you come from Gotham City Bruce what's it like?" Clark now curious about Bruce's city.
"Well it's not as big as Metropolis; the crime rate over the past few years has been up. We have a great police commissioner his name is Gordon." Bruce not mentioning anything about a dark knight.
Clark was wondering why he only mentions the local police and not the weather or anything else that happen in the city.
"Yeah I heard some things about him in the Times. He said that he knew something about the Dark Knight." Clark said.
"Yeah I wouldn't be surprise, the Knight works for the good, they have something in common." Bruce responding.
Just before anyone could say anything the car had stopped and the right door had open. They were in front of a tall building that had a world on top of it.
"Master Clark the Daily Planet, I'll be waiting here for Ms. Sullivan and you." Alfred was now closing the door after Clark stepped out.
"Thank-you Alfred, we'll be out in 10 minutes." Clark responded trying so hard not to freak out right in front of Alfred.
The limo pulled around the corner and vanished as Clark was heading into the building. Clark was stopping him self not to use his super speed into the building although Clark was running at a faster than normal pace through the Planets front doors, up the stairs towards the reporter's lounge Clark had to stop him self in front of the doors of the lounge and slowly and casually Clark walked though the doors. Right there waiting at a desk was a gorgeous Blond 5'8" woman wearing a white button-up shirt with a blue jeans covering it all with a black overcoat. Every time Clark looked at her he dropped dead as if he was near the meteor rocks but this wasn't the rocks fault, he was just madly in love with her.
"Hi Clark, how are you doing." Chloe started walking towards Clark.
But before Clark could say anything he had his lips locked with hers in a long passionate kiss.
"Well, Hello Chloe." Clark still dazed from the kiss.

Back at Lex's mansion…
Roger Nixon was walking through the door heading for a seat in front of Lex's desk.
"Lex why did you call?" Nixon asked while sitting down.
"For who knows-how-long-now I've been wondering about how Clark saved me from that sinking vehicle. That's in the past now but I'm dying to find out how he did it. So I've decided that I'm going to take action now. Now I'm willing to risk the lives of a few people to figure out how he did save me. I need you to help me I've started making a plan here take a look." Lex throwing a folder towards Nixon afterwards Lex folded his hands and stared in the eyes of Nixon.
Lex and Nixon both talked long in the night planning what they would do to get Clark show his secret.

As Clark and Chloe started heading down the staircase they caught up with old news about what was happening in Metropolis and Smallville. They were just out the front doors as they finish up there chat, not a minute later a strange looking man came running down the sidewalk. Clark and Chloe watched as the man snagged a purse from an old lady.
"Help some one, Help" the old lady cried pointing to the guy who snag her purse.
Just as Clark was about to grab the guy he felt a great pain in swarming throughout his whole body. It was the pain that came only from meteor rocks Clark at this moment knew that he couldn't do anything. Although Clark could see the rocks it could feel them. Clark began to clutch his body as Chloe turned to him.
"Clark you alright?" Chloe trying to help Clark.
While Chloe was trying to help Clark, the guy past both of them up making a fast snag for Chloe's purse before rounding the corner.
"Hey give that back." Chloe yelling as the guy grab her purse.
"Clark please tell me you are alright, I've only see you like this once and that was by those rocks." Chloe although not panicking still extremely worried about Clark.
"Chloe… Don't worry about me I'm fine." Clark now starting to get up as the guy was gone from sight.
"I'll get it back don't worry." Clark insuring that he'd fine a way to get back the purse.
"Let's go after him." Clark wanting to do anything in his power to get that purse back.
They both walk around the corner to follow the guy, as they turned the corner only to see the guy tried up and on the ground. Clark knowing what pain was going to come over him he inched his way up to the guy and picked up the purses. Still painful he moved slowly away from the guy and headed towards the old lady that now was just turning the corner to notice that Clark had got her purse. Chloe was now walking over to the guy trying getting a closer look and figure out how he got tried up. She noticed that the guy was tried up with a black nylon rope with a bat symbol in the front. At first she wanted to take the symbol but instead she got out her camera and took a picture. Clark now handing the purse back to the old lady turned back to Chloe and handed back her purse.
"Clark it's the Dark Knight again." Chloe was wondering where the strange fighter went to.
Clark was now heading back towards the tried guy.
"How do you know that Chloe?" Clark asking.
"Well look, it's his symbol." Chloe pointing towards the bat.
"What kind of a symbol is that?" Clark surprise to see such an object.
"Well it's his symbol I've only got to see it two times so far. Clark this would be a big story if I could get to know personally who this guy was and his objectives." Chloe smiling at Clark.
The Black Limo drove up to Clark and Chloe. Now that there attention was towards the limo that was in front of them now. Alfred was getting out of the car and walking around the car just to open the door Clark and Chloe.
"Hello Alfred." Clark smiling and looked at Chloe who was curious whom it could be.
"Clark, Lex got you a butler?" Chloe had a puzzling face.
"No Chloe" Clark laughing. "As I said on the phone, I met Bruce Wayne of Wayne Enterprises at Lex's and he offered to drive me up here because he wanted to talk to you about the Meteor rocks. You thought I was kidding" Clark said.
"Well I didn't really….." Chloe watched as this sturdy young man stepped out of the car.
Bruce Wayne stepped out of the Limo in front of Chloe. Chloe looked up and her jaw literally dropped as she was looking at Bruce Wayne. She turned and looked at Clark still with her mouth opening. Now turning back towards Bruce she finally gathered her emotions and herself and finally spoke.
"Hello Mr. Wayne" Chloe even though she could talk now, she was still in disbelief.
"Hello Ms. Sullivan I've heard quite a lot of you from Clark." Bruce taking Chloe's hand and kissing it like a gentleman. Soon after Bruce lead her into the limo with Clark following behind them.
"Chloe please call me Bruce, if Clark informed you I wanted to ask you about the meteors." Bruce staring into the eyes of Chloe.
"Yeah…. Clark informed me but I didn't believe him at first. I mean it's not that I don't trust him it's just that him…. talking with Bruce Wayne? It doesn't seem likely." Chloe now responding slowly obviously still in disbelief.
"Well you should listen to your boyfriend this guy is very trustworthy, I don't think he ever lie to you." Bruce nodding at Clark.
"I know…" Chloe felt like she betrayed her boyfriend. "So when do you want to talk about those meteor's?" Chloe inching to talk about those rocks and getting to know more about the young pioneer.
"Well Chloe I suppose that you would like to spend time with Clark, so let's say 7:00 pm tomorrow on the Sky Eater?" Bruce getting out his palm pilot to mark the date.
"That sounds good." Chloe replied seeming that nothing could bring this day down.
"Ok" Bruce now turning towards the driver's seat. "Alfred take these two to the Metropolis 5 star hotel." Bruce order.
Alfred did what he wished and started heading towards the hotel. It wasn't that far from the Daily Planet.
"Why are we going to a hotel?" Chloe was wondering.
"Well the least that I can do for your troubles are get you two a hotel. Plus Lex insisted the best for his friends." Bruce replied.
"Wow, hey Clark did you know about this?" Chloe overjoyed because of these events.
"Well I didn't think a 5 star hotel was in the book." Clark turning his head towards Bruce and nodding to thank him for the hotel.
"Master Bruce, Metropolis Hotel." Alfred said.
"Ok Chloe, Clark it was nice meeting you, you can ask the clerk for your room. You can get any movie, drink; food that you want it's on me. Chloe, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Bruce shaking Clark's hand and after kissed Chloe's hand.
Clark and Chloe were now heading inside the hotel while the black drove out into the road fading away into the darkness of the night.

"Alfred I think I'll be out around the town tonight." Bruce said.
"Sir, will that be costume or not?" Alfred asked.
"Costume" Bruce replied.
****
"Clark I'm sorry for not believing in you. I just don't know about you sometimes." Chloe hoping that Clark would forgive her.
"Chloe don't worry about it." Clark smiling and wrapping his arm around her just as they stepped into the elevator that would take them up to there room.
They had opened the door to the room and couldn't believe how big it was. It must have been as big as the Talon. Clark and Chloe both dropped their stuff on the floor and immediately started looking around.
"I can't believe this Chloe." Clark turning towards her with a surprise look on his face.
"Me neither, I think this should be a great night. I mean we have each other, a big room, and everything is at our hands." Chloe indicting some form of action from Clark.
"Chloe I know, let's go hit the town. Maybe we can find a nice little bar that we can sit and talk more about our lives." Clark not wanting to do something stupid that would ruin there relationship.
"Ok Clark that sounds better than what I had in mind." Chloe and Clark left the room.
Upon arriving in the driveway of Lex's Mayor Bruce was already waiting by the front door with Lex.
"Master Bruce here is Master Clark your guess." Alfred started opening the door for Clark.
