Edward told Lex "I'm still worried about your walk" then smiling he took out a key and handed it over Lex "You can take my baby out, she rarely gets to see the streets" Lex grinned and said "You are barrowing me your baby". Willow just asked "Baby".
Minutes later, Lex was driving a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB. Clark as copilot and behind them the four girls "You know where you are headed?" Clark asked his friend "I'm taking you all to Gotham's finest restaurant. We might even see a celebrity" Dawn asked "Really?" Lex laughed and said "Most of them are just boring people, in fact I found all of you more interesting than them" Willow asked "Really, do you know some of them" Lex answered "Unfortunately yes". Dawn then said "Umm, I don't want to sound rude, but we have already eaten" she looked at her sister and friends and they all nodded in agreement, "A shame" lex said "But still you can keep us company while we eat".
Meanwhile Clark was in deep thought "I must be ready if anything happens" he reminded himself. These girls seemed nice, but he knew from experience that looks could be deceiving, and that in smallville weird usually was fallowed by trouble "I guess no heartbeat is something that can be classified as weird by Smallville standards, I wonder if Sunnydale also had it's own meteor problem" he thought again. He was interrupted by Dawn "So Clark, do you have a girl waiting for you in Kansas?" all of them, including Lex, had to suppress a laugh when Clark face turned red.
Lex said while pointing to a very exclusive looking restaurant "This is the place" Willow asked "Umm, Lex, I don't think we are dressed for this kind of place" but Lex answered "Don't worry Willow, I know the manager of the place. I'm sure we won't have any trouble.
Lex was right, and the six of them were given a table in V.I.P. "You sure you don't want anything?" Lex asked them "We are fine" Drusilla replied "But thanks". As they waited, a faint sound, imperceptible for human ears, was heard "NOOOOOOO PLEASE" Clark's face tensed, but he didn't notice that also the four girls looked worried. Buffy said "Umm, Lex" Lex asked "Yes Buffy?" She said "I.. I have. I have to go to the bathroom" she rose from her chair and said "Aren't you coming?" Willow and Dawn rose from their chair "O, yy..yes" Willow managed to say "Y.. You know.. girl talk" Drusilla remained in her chair "I will wait here". When they left, Lex said "That was weird" at that moment Clark also rose from his chair "You will have to excuse me from a minute, I also have to go to the…bathroom "he said as he left.
As Clark went out of the restaurant, he heard the voice again "I.. I KNOW N..NOTHING" and another voice, this one very low and cold, answering "YOU LIE", Clark realized that it was coming from the top of a dark building. Making sure that no one was watching him, he started to run and arrived there in only a second. Nothing of the things he had seen on smallville prepared him for what he saw. A man, dressed completely in some sort of black armor surrounded by a long cap, His head covered by a sinister looking mask, was holding a man at the edge of the building with some sort of device
Clark was about to intervene, when he heard a sound to faint to be heard by a human, it sounded like a gasp, then he heard a familiar voice from above saying very quietly, as if didn't want to reveal it's presence "Is that Clark?", then another voice said "How did he get here so fast?". He looked up and gasped in surprise as he saw Dawn, Buffy and Willow floating above him and looking at him with surprise. "My God he saw us" Willow said. They landed in front of him, and for a moment they just stood there, staring at each other. The awkward moment was interrupted when a Low and grave voice, that sent shivers to all of them, said in anger "DO I LOOK LIKE A COP TO YOU?" The girls, who hadn't seen the stranger yet, looked past Clark and saw him "Who is that?" Willow asked in a shocked voice. Apparently the stranger heard her, because he tensed for a moment. He pushed a button in the device that was holding the other man, and then he was taken down to the streets.
At first they all thought the stranger had killed him, but then they heard the other man running and screaming like a madman down in the streets. The stranger then turned around to face them. Buffy, Willow and Dawn knew for sure the stranger was a human, but still they felt intimidated by his stare.
Bruce Wayne wasn't sure what to make of this when he saw they were only a couple of teenagers "How could I not notice them before, and how did they get up here?" He wondered "I guess I got carried away with the corrupt cop and didn't hear them".
The silence was broken by Willow, who asked in fascination as he approached the stranger "Who are you?" Bruce Wayne answered in his Batman's voice but less threatening than before "You should not be here; this is not a place for people like you", Then he turned his back on them and was about to jump over the edge, when he felt someone grabbing him from behind. "What the?" he thought for a while "Are you crazy, do you want to kill yourself?" the red haired girl told him as she made him turn around to face her, with an incredible strength. Bruce Wayne was now truly shocked, and not only for her strength "How did she get here so fast?" he wondered. Clark Kent was also surprised when he saw her, not only they could fly, but they also could move real fast and apparently were very strong. "They must have been affected in some way by a meteor" he thought
For a moment, Bruce felt that he was in real danger now, but then he reflected that the girl stopped him because she thought he was going to commit suicide. "I wasn't going to kill myself, let go of me" he told Willow. The girl hesitated for a moment and Bruce saw his opportunity. Willow was much stronger than him, but Bruce was a master in all kinds of martial arts and escape techniques, and before she knew what was happening, she found herself on the ground and the stranger standing above her. He extended his hand and helped Willow get back on her feet. Buffy approached and asked "How did you manage to do that? I have never seen anyone moving like that" She remembered that one week ago, they were helping Faith in her training; and with all her slayer's strength and techniques Faith wasn't even able to move when Dawn had grabbed her in the same way Willow grabbed this mortal. And yet this man, who seemed to possess no special abilities at all, had managed to free himself.
"I had good teachers" Bruce Wayne answered the blond girl, and then he asked in a very serious tone "What are you? No human can move that fast or be that strong", Clark approached him and said "We will have time to talk about that, but first you should tell us what were you doing with that man we found you with" Bruce Wayne didn't like to explain himself to strangers, but he knew that he didn't stand a chance against five of them, and somehow he knew that they weren't going to let him go unless he explained the situation
