Part 3: Lesson

Earlier today

The ferry ride across the bay to Gotham was an awkward one. I had to make an excuse to leave the Planet early. Nothing like an eye doctor appointment to get you out of work. Perry was easy to get past. Lois on the other hand was another story. Why she was obsessed with me leaving early, I'll never know. Probably mad she won't get another Superman headline.

I spent my ride reviewing of Jimmy's Justice League pictures. Barry said it would be good for the world to see us out of uniform. Cycling through through the photos I stopped at Diana's. By Rao, she was a beautiful woman. Jimmy had caught her bent over unlatching her boots. The sequence of shots Jimmy took of her were a work of torment. So lost in thought I almost missed existing the ferry.

Taking to the streets of Gotham I drove towards Bruce's house. His house was just outside of the city near the old Gotham mines. Why no one a Gotham PD put two and two together to find the Batman I'll never know. Humans weren't particularly gifted in the brains department. They are fooled by a pair of glasses.

I took a right off the interstate and ended up on a one lane road. I followed it until I saw a sea of wrought iron bars. Wayne Manor, a picture of a gothic horror at its finest. The high peaked rooftop of the manor soared to the heavens. I gulped hard. Bruce always knew how to make a visual statement. Nothing like feeling emasculated right before training. A shiver went up my spine as the thought of training ran through my mind. Why did I allow Bruce to talk me into doing this? Because this type of thing was more his style. If I wanted to try it I would need his insight. As I approached the gate I press on the intercom button.

Ring, Ring

"Who is it?" a female voice answered.

I was taken aback by the voice. It wasn't any female Bruce would normally have at his home. Selina, Chase, Zatanna…

"It's…."

Before I could reply the female voice interrupted me.

"Oh…. it's you!" she shouted. "Come in big boy…"

Immediately the front gate opened.

"That was interesting," I thought to myself.

I didn't think much about the odd woman I'd spoken to at the gate. Bruce had people in and out of his home. He was too paranoid to allow just anyone in his house. So I drove down to the house. Approaching the house I saw what looked like two strange looking dogs on either side of the front door. As my car come to a complete stop I realized something.

"Those aren't dogs," I said as I turned off my car.

As I opened my car door I watched the odd dog start laughing.

"No they aren't big boy," I hear the woman from the gates voice. "They are hyenas…"

I stopped myself midway through opening my car door. I closed my eyes and said a pray.

He wouldn't ask them. He wouldn't let a private matter fall into the hands of…. Opening my eyes I look up at the doorway to the house. And there she stood a petite woman with tie-dyed red and blue pigtails. There was a spiked collar wrapped around her neck.

"Mister J…" she shouted as she looked back into the house. "Our student is here!"

"Harley,"

She leaped with glee when I said her name.

"OMG Superman knows my name," she said. "Did you hear that Pudding, Superman knows who I am!"

She happy voice soon became overshadowed by cackle.

"Of course he knows about you Harley," the Joker laugh. "What do you think Bats talks about when he's not playing with us…"

"Selina," she replied back to him. "Oh maybe the big Amazon woman…"

From behind the Joker's pale hand grabbed Harley's shoulder. He pulled her back and stared down at her.

"I think there has been some misunderstanding….." I said as I saw the situation escalating.

"Oh no Superman there is no misunderstanding," the Joker replied as he looked away from Harley.

"I'm sorry Mister J," she said as she looked down to the ground.

Joker smile as she spoke.

"I know you were excited but if we are to help him we have to follow our rules," he said. "As you can see Superman, Harley isn't supposed to talk to anyone when her 'Puddin' collar is on."

"Joker I'm just here to ask Bruce a few questions about…"

"Being a Dom?" Joker answered.

I nodded. Harley was the first to crack up laughing. He soon followed suit. Shaking his head he waved for me to come into the house. The human part of my brain told me to turn around and get back into my car and act like this never happened. However, the Kryptonian part of me wanted to know more.

"He's inside," he added.

Though the words were coming from a crazed man, him saying Bruce was inside made me feel slightly better. I was still going to kill him for telling the Joker about my inquiry. Gathering my courage I entered the house. Walking past Harley I felt her brushed against my biceps. I looked at her as she winked at me.

"You me…" she mouthed as she made the sign for sex.

"Harley stop that!" Joker shouted ahead of us. "Or I'm going to have to punish you…"

"That's what I'm hoping for," she replied softly.

Yup Bruce was weird.

I followed behind Joker until we reached the end of the hallway. I tried to look through the wall but I couldn't. He must have placed lead throughout the house. Joker pressed his hand against one particular circular piece of wood paneling. The wall trembled before it cracked open.

"I see you made it Clark," I heard Bruce's voice coming from the room.

The door slid open slowly revealing a room full of leather, lace and chains. WIth Bruce standing in the middle of it.

"I did," I replied as I stepped into the room. "You going to explain why I was met by these two?"

I pointed to Joker and Harley. Joker's jaw dropped.

"I am offended," he gasped.

Harley nodded.

"We wanted to help," he continued.

"I don't need your help," I replied. "Bruce will…."

I looked at Bruce with 'you're going to help me right?' eyes. Bruce's face twisted.

"I'm not a proper Dom," he replied.

I took a step back from everyone in the room.

"Come again," I said. "Are you telling me you offered to help me without being able to help me personally…"

"Joker is a proper Dom," Bruce answered.

Joker took a deep bow.

"Thank you Bats," he replied with an even bigger grin than normal. "I never thought you'd admit I was proper anything…"

"Not now…" Bruce grumbled. "The point is that if you want to experiment in this world especially with…."

Joker looked from me to Bruce several times.

"Oh you want Wonder Woman," Joker blurted out.

I shook my head to say no, but no one believed me.

"I always thought you'd eventually want to tap that ass," Joker added.

He walked over towards me and elbowed me in the ribs.

"I'd give it a try but I don't want them thighs to break my dick…"

Joker made Diana's pose with her braces crossed. Harley dropped to the ground and placed her face in Joker crotch

"STOP," I shouted.

I couldn't take hearing them speaking about Diana in that way. The spikes in my dick were still at attention from looking at Jimmy's pictures of her earlier.

The shockwave from my voice made all the hanging leathers and chains clink together. Everyone was taken aback by the forcefulness of my voice. Harley suddenly burst into a loud applause.

"I know Harley," Joker said as he started to clap.

"What?!"

Joker pointed to me, "Remember that voice."

I looked over to Bruce.

"What he's suggesting is what if you wish in let…"

"Wonder Woman," Harley interjected with a wink.

Joker once again snapped ay Harley. He growled at her and she fell to the ground at his feet.

"Isn't that…"

"Clark its with their rules of play," Bruce said. "When they are at play there are rules. Their roles."

"That is correct Bats," Joker said as she patted Harley on the top of her head. "Rule keep both parties safe and satisfied. She isn't allowed to take unless given permission. If she does then she will be punished."

Joker nodded and Harley bent over placing her ass up into the air.

"A punishment of pleasure," he added as he smacked her ass.

A soft oooo left her mouth.

"Oh Mister J," she cooed.

"Do you like having your ass smacked Puddin?" he growled back at her.

She wiggled her ass.

Smack…

"She isn't in pain," Bruce said.

Harley tapped her collar and looked up at Joker.

"Speak," he said.

"Oh Mister Superman," she said. "Joker follows our rules. Spanking, biting and restraints are ok. If it gets too much we have a safe word…"

Joker laughed as he bent down to Harley's level.

"Say it Puddin," he ordered.

"Ok Mister J!" she said.

She took a deep breath.

"BATMAN!"

I couldn't help but laugh. Two of his most annoying villains use his codename is their safe word. Bruce didn't look too amused.

"Oh come now Bats," Joker laughed. "What else did you think it would be? The Penguin?"

Bruce shook his head.

"Enough you two," Bruce grumbled.

"You're never any fun," Harley said as she sat back down beside the Joker.

Bruce rolled his eyes.

"As we were saying, rules are what keeps everything working smoothly," Bruce said. "Establishing what Diana is ok with is first and foremost your job as a dom."

I ran my hands through my curls.

"What if she isn't into this?" I asked.

Bruce placed his hands on my shoulders.

"She will be," he said.

His voice was so sure.

"She's a princess for pete's sake Clark," Bruce added. "Her life is nothing but control, orders and people pleasers. Wouldn't you want to have someone take the reins every once and awhile."

I let Bruce's words sink in. I liked my life the polar opposite to hers. She had the reins in every aspect of her life. There were days I could see the weariness in her eyes from it.

"Invite her to come to the 1938 tonight," Bruce said.

I looked at Bruce puzzled. He never invited anyone to his nightclub. Hell poor Barry still thinks its an urban legend. I wasn't too sure it was real myself. Everyone knows Gotham is off limit.

"Bruce," I said.

Harley and Joker's faces perked up. I wasn't sure why. It was just a club. Right?

"Have faith Clark," he said back. "My club will be the perfect place."

"Yeah," Joker added as he ran his hand across the chain that was in front of him. "Send her an invitation…"

As the Joker spoke Bruce dangled a black laced mask in front of my face. There was something off about both of them. Harley wasn't giving anything away either.

"For a little bit of courage," Bruce said.

"I don't need a mask," I replied as I took the mask from Bruce's hand.

"Oh Superman that's for Diana," Joker said.

Harley pouted.

"How come I don't get a mask?" she asked.

She folded her arms across her chest.

"Puddin," Joker cooed. "I've got something better for you."

Reaching into his coat pocket Joker pulled out a full latex mask with hole on the side.

"Oh Mister J," she said.

She sat there and waited for him to place the mask over her face. He made sure to pull out her pigtails before he zipped her up.

"Not in my house," Bruce growled.

He pointed to Joker.

"We're going," Joker replied. "Same time as always next week?"

Bruce didn't reply.

Joker laughed as he picked on Harley's leash and the leash of her hyena. He walked out of Bruce's dungeon with both of them behind him.

"Next week?" I asked once we were alone.

"Don't start with me Clark," he replied.

"Just remember rules Clark are your friend…" he added.
