Author's Notes: Another day, another update. Still doing some tinkering with "Legacy," so don't expect that to be coming in left and right. I work fast, but not as fast as Dana (Go Dana!)

District Attorney's Office

"Uh… Lois?"

"Hmm"

"What are we doing here?" He eyes all the serious men and women in suits, the building was huge. "You're not in trouble again, are you?" Clark teased.

Lois smirked. "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that." She caught Clark frown, giving the wrong effect that she intended. She quickly rectifies her mistake.

"Gotham Superior Court handles about 50,000 criminal cases a year, not to mention various other district courts throughout the county," she explained, having gone through the same lesson with her friend Rachel. When she saw Clark interested, she continued. "They have like, 120 lawyers on hand"

Clark is impressed. "That many?"

"They do more than just prosecute cases. Awareness and protection is important to them, it has to be if they plan to get their jobs done right"

Lois's attention wavered when she finally finds who she's looking for. "Aha, there she is!" she says, her pace quickening as Clark tripped a bit to catch up. He was really enjoying what she was sharing.

Lois approached A.D.A. Rachel Dawes.

"Hey," Rachel smiled seeing her friend walk into her office.

"Hey right back." She turned to gesture Clark into the office while Rachel looked on intrigued.

"Nice catch," Rachel comments.

"Not a catch," Lois corrected, closing the door behind Clark as he made his way in. Clark wished for that one second, he didn't have super hearing.

Clark leaned by Lois's ear. "When you said you had prior appointments, I didn't realize it was a legal matter. I don't want to interrupt," he whispers to her sincerely.

Lois was thankful but it was no need. "It won't take long." She looks at her friend. "Rachel Dawes, meet Clark Kent." She looks at Clark. "Clark, meet Gotham's Assistant District Attorney"

"Hi," he greeted her with a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you," she greeted in return, eying the two back and forth with interest. "Don't let the title fool you, Lois just likes saying it, she thinks it makes me look intimidating"

Clark smiles while Lois shrugs.

"It does," Lois says with a smile before removing a mini-disk from her purse and handing it to her.

Rachel takes it, briefly surprised that she handed to her freely in front of her friend. "Thanks, you're a life saver"

"Anytime," Lois replied. She looked at Clark who just sat in silence. He really needed to get out more. "I'll see you for lunch tomorrow?"

"Same place, same time"

Clark stood up as Lois neared the exit. "It was nice meeting you, Miss Dawes"

"Likewise," she responded. "And call me Rachel, a friend of Lois' is a friend of mine"

Clark smile graciously and exited first. Rachel pulled Lois in before she left too. "I expect a full de…tailed report from you." The two ladies watch Clark's… um… features from behind.

Lois held her blush from showing. "Full?"

Rachel nodded. "And don't leave anything out," she replied, teasing her more. Lois could already imagine what majority of their lunch date was going to be talked about.

Grand Avenue

Lois and Clark walked along Gotham City's version of New York City's Broadway strip. "Well, that was interesting."

"Oh yeah, what?"

"You're friend, Rachel," he elaborated. "How long have you known her?"

"A few years"

Clark nodded; Lois was just not the type of person to spill her thoughts out. "I'm glad you let me come along, I've never been here before." He looked up at the various buildings surrounding them. "It's amazing here"

"Yeah," she spoke out softly. "Almost like being in another world." Clark smiled to himself. He knew the feeling. "Did you know that the architecture of this city can be traced back to Judge Solomon Wayne during the pre-American Civil War era?"

Clark shook his head, he didn't know that, but the name Wayne stood out into his mind as a mental image of another Wayne appeared into his memories.

"How well do you know the Wayne's?"

"He's richer than Luthor, if that's what you're wondering"

Clark's eyes widen in surprise. "He?"

"Huh?"

"You mentioned 'he.'"

"Oh, right. Bruce Wayne." She remembered now. "Tall, dark and handsome. To tell you the truth, he reminds me of a certain farm boy from Kansas I know"

"Really," he was grinning from ear to ear. She hadn't forgotten him. After a moment. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot"

"Why'd you leave?"

Lois was expecting that, but she didn't expect it to come this soon. "You hungry?" She turned and saw a café and without another word, she headed straight to it.

Clark sighed. "She's so stubborn," he uttered to himself, before showing off a smile and heading over to the café to follow her.

She may be stubborn, but that's one of the reason's why she had single-handedly won his heart.

To be continued…
