Superwoman/Batman:
Public Enemies
(Note: So I decided to spoil ya'll with a new chapter. We Jump into the present day and I introduce you all to this version of Claire Josephine Kent aka Superwoman. I'll let the chapter speak for itself but I'll add a little more info about Claire at the end. ;)
Chapter 1
The Daily Planet, Metropolis
Lois Lane, the ace reporter of the Daily Planet, sat at her desk her eye firmly directed at the elevators. Her fingers lightly drummed on her desk as she stared at the Elevators waiting for something ignoring all the sounds of the news bullpen. Then the beautiful blonde Kat Grant then walked up to Lois desk, and the leaned on the edge looking at the same elevator.
"She's not gonna make it." Kat said simply
"She'll make it." Lois responded
"She's not gonna make it." Kat said
"She'll make it, she always makes it." Jimmy Olsen ace photographer said walking up next to the two
"I don't know Jimbo, I think she's finally run out of Luck." The sporty Steve Lombard said
"Come on it's her you know she makes it." Jimmy said
"The Subway is full of delays, there traffic jams for miles, and it's impossible to run in these streets. She isn't gonna make it" Kat said
"She'll make it." Lois said
Suddenly the elevator dinged open and outshot out a frantic female figure. She had her black hair in a messy ponytail and wore a large pair of spherical Glasses that took up half her face. Her clothes were baggy hiding her figure and consisted of a white dress shirt with a blue tie and a brown suit jacket over it, a red skirt the reached her ankles, and black dress shoes. The woman ran past the group as quick as she could carrying a messenger bag with papers sticking out of it.
"Hi Lois, Hi Jimmy, Hi Steve, Hi Kat!" the woman said quickly passing them
"Told ya she'd make it." Lois said with a smirk as Kat huffed. Steve pulled out a five and handed it to a happy Jimmy with a groan
The woman ran through the bullpen saying hi to various staff quickly making her way to the editor-in-chiefs office.
"Stop the presses, I….!" the woman yelled running until she lost her footing and slipped with a yelp
She landed on her back with a thud laying there for a second before picking herself up with a groan and looking up to see a man standing over.
"Claire Josephine Kent, right on time and right where I expected you." The man said looking at the woman
"Morning Mr. White, I have that story you wanted." Claire said with a nervous chuckle as Perry helped her up
"You could've just emailed it to me, you didn't have to make the trip here." Perry said as Claire handed him some documents
"I'm still an employee of the Daily Planet, I think that I should at least try to come to work a few times a week despite my new living conditions." Claire said
"Chief how long are you gonna keep calling her Kent, she's a married woman now." Reporter Ron Troupe said passing by
"Yeah I know, it's just surprising ya know. I mean not that I expected you not to get married, it's just….." Perry said trying to find the right words
"It's alright Perry, I can't believe it either sometimes. It's something I never really thought about, yet here I am." Claire said as she touched and looked at the golden band around her finger
"Either way it's always good to see ya, Claire. Now get to work." Perry said pointing to her desk
"Aye, Aye Chief." Claire said going to her desk
"Kept it clean for ya Ms. Kent." Jimmy said approaching her
"Oh, Jimmy you didn't have to that." Claire said appreciatively
"We're pals it's the least I could do. Also, it gets kinda lonely when you aren't around, do you get lonely in that new place of yours?" Jimmy asked
"Not really I have great company. But I do miss you guys and Metropolis which is why I always try to show up for work, sending emails doesn't compare to being in the bullpen." Claire said with a smile
"Still I can't believe you didn't quit, aren't you living the good life now?" Steve asked
"Claire ain't the type of Girl to let money get to her head." Lois said
"Still I can't believe you haven't bought better clothes." Kat said
"I like my suits, besides you know I don't have that good an eye for fashion." Claire said straightening her skirt
"Still the same old Claire." Kat said
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Lois said with a smile
"Thanks, it's nice to get back to work." Claire said finally reaching her desk and preparing to sit down
"This just in a high-speed chase is has broken out on the Metropolis freeway. What started as a routine traffic stop spiraled out of control when the driver brandished a gun and took off. He is now being chased by police, though there is worry about the possibility of a traffic accident. His vehicle has over 600 horsepower, and he is driving erratically." The reporter on the TV said
Everyone looked up to the television to see a Live news feed of a red sports car driving down the freeway zipping past cars at high speeds. The vehicle ended up scrapping another van, it swerved a bit then stopped safely a woman coming out and then going to the back to grab her child as the police cars zoomed past one stopping to check on the woman and her child.
"At the speed, he's going at, he's gonna hurt a lot more than himself." Steve said
"I-I just r-remembered… I-need to use…. The bathroom!" Claire stammered out as she ran from her desk knocking over her name plaque
"Right now?" Jimmy said disappointed
"Won't be long be right back!" Claire yelled as she ran from the group and down the hall
"Same old Claire." Lois said walking to Claire desk and picking up the name holder
"How'd a girl like her marry a guy like him?" Kat asked confused
"I guess there's more to her than meets the eye." Lois said with a smile as she put the name holder back in place revealing what was written on it.
CLAIRE JOSEPHINE WAYNE
Lois smiled as she looked at Claire's desk focusing on a picture frame. In the photo, Claire was in a beautiful white wedding dress glasses on her face as well as a substantial goofy smile, bouquet in her hands. Next, to her bring her close was a man in a black suit neat short black hair, strong chin, and striking black eyes. He had a smaller smile on his face but had his arm around Claire's waist bringing her close.
"You better be treating her right Bruce." Lois said to herself
Suddenly a red and blue blur flew past the Daily Planet window catching everyone's attention.
"Aw Yeah, she on the move." Jimmy said
"Come on Jimmy we got work to do." Lois said sitting back at her desk
The news Helicopter zoomed over the freeway trying to keep up with the sports car and the chase.
"This car is going almost 200 mph, that's faster than any police car, and even the chopper is having trouble… WHOA!" The reporter on the chopper yelped as the red, and blue blur zoomed past it
The sports car sped down the freeway coming up to a full toll stop. Whoever was in the car hit the brakes trying to stop only making the car swerve towards the lined up car in waiting. It was just a few feet away from hitting one of them when the red sports car was suddenly flown into the air. The people in the cars looked up in awe as they saw a majestic female figure fly overhead carrying the car. Her black hair flowing reached a quarter down her back in the wind along with her red cape, her ethereal blue eyes, and her blue suit that showed off her amazon-esque physique. The most defining thing on her was the Crimson S that laid in a red diamond yellow filling the empty spot within. The crest laid proudly upon her impressive bust as she flew through the air. The woman held the car as if it were nothing as her red boots lightly touched the ground.
"Superwoman, so this is what you've been up to these last few months." A male voice said
"Chasing Cars." Another male voice said in a mocking tone
Superwoman turned to see three people standing in the freeway. The first man appeared to be entirely made out of silver only with red gloves and blue boots with a red atomic symbol on his chest. The other man was almost the same only he was red and yellow with an M on the right side of his chest. And finally, there was a young woman she had short blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a white suit with an opening on the breasts with blue boots and gloves, along with her own small red cape.
"Captain Atom, Power Girl… Major Force. I go where I'm needed." Superwoman said almost groaning the last name
"But you haven't been needed much lately have you?" Captain Atom said
"Can I help you, Captain?" Superwoman said annoyed wanting him to get to the point
"I just want you to admit something." Captain Atom said walking forward the other two following behind
"I'LL SHOOT MYSELF I SWEAR!" the man in the car yelled holding a gun to his head
"One second." Superwoman said holding up one finger as she fired a quick beam of heat vision through the car and slicing the gun in half. She then placed the car down and let the police do their work taking him away.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Superwoman said she took off to the sky, Captain Atom sighed and followed the other close behind
They landed on the roof of a nearby building
"Now what am I supposed to admit?" Superwoman asked with crossed arms
"That Luthor hasn't done a bad job." Captain Atom said
Superwoman frowned at the request turning around and walking to the edge of the building
"Told ya this would be a waste of time." Major force said
Power Girl huffed at the Major and ran after Superwoman
"Luthor did the one thing nobody was expecting. He made things boring again! And boring is good. The economy's back to normal, crimes down, there are no wars or anything…." Power girl said trying to reason with her
Superwoman pinched the bridge of her nose and groaned putting one hand on the railing.
"You know what? Yeah, I admit, he's done well for the country. But if he wanted me to say that he'd be right here to hear it from my mouth. So why are you really here?" Superwoman said turning around to face the group.
"We want you to come work with us." Captain Atom said
"That is never going to happen. Despite the good he's done, he's still the raving mad man driven by his own ego who threaten me, this city, and the world a dozen times." Superwoman said leaning on the railing
"I thought that too at first. Then I realized all he was trying to do was put that formidable intellect into doing such a good job no one will have any choice but to respect him." Captain Atom said walking forward
"It's all about ego for him." Superwoman said simply
"Come on it's not like he's not the worse person to be in the Oval Office. Womanizers, drunks, and crooks what makes him any different?" Major force reasoned making Superwoman frown at him
"Come on, work with us. Please, we need you." Power Girl taking Superwoman's hand looking at her with pleading eyes
Superwoman gave her a smile and touched her face caressing. Then she frowned removing her hand
"Kara…. I'm sorry not with him." Superwoman says as she steps away preparing to take off Kara frowning
"And Kara, Connie says hi and to visit her once in a while." Superwoman says with a small smile making Kara smile as she took off into the sky
"I guess Luthor's not the only one with an ego." Atom said as he and Major Force prepared to leave Kara sighing and joining them
Later that Night, Wayne Manor
Superwoman flies across the night sky flying towards a lone mansion on a hill overlooking the grim city of Gotham. From the outside, the manor had an air of mystery, elegance, and darkness to it. But to Claire it was home, she smiled as she flew towards the roof and over one of the chimneys. She brought her arms together and dropped into the Chimney falling through it. Claire eventually slowed her descent stopping her feet an inch off the ground as she stood in a large fireplace in the main hall. She now wore her civilian clothing and her glasses. In the room, Alfred Pennyworth stood with a small smile on his face and gave a slight bow.
"Welcome home Mistress Claire." Alfred said
"Hello Al, had a nice day?" Claire said as she stepped out of the fireplace
"As productive as ever, being the sole attendant in this massive manor. Cooking, cleaning, and driving Master Bruce everywhere." Alfred said with his classic snark
"You want me to give the place a quick run through?" Claire asked
"Now where would the fun be in that?" Alfred said with a smirk making her giggle
"I'm gonna head back to Metropolis for Patrol, but I wanted to know if Bruce headed out already?" Claire asked
"Just about to actually, he's still in the cave." Alfred said getting a nod from Claire as she left the hall
She walked through the large manor calmly knowing all the rooms here. She eventually passed a sleeping German Shepard. She smiled petting the dog, before going on her way to the Library. She walked in and towards the grandfather clock spinning the hands onto a certain hour before the clock began to move opening like a door. She entered walking down a dark set of stairs, though she could see perfectly eventually coming to a massive opening. Claire smiled as she looked upon the Batcave, quickly seeing all the vehicles were still docked and the computer was active. With her enhanced vision, she could see a figure at the computer a sly smile growing on her face as she began to float a few inches off the ground.
Claire then began to gently float towards the computer making sure she was slow enough that she didn't make any wind, not to disturb the bats in the cave, or touch any of the tech and memorabilia that filled the cavern. A smile grew on her face as she came behind the figure on the computer who was heavily focused on what he was doing his cape hanging off the side of the chair. Claire mentally laughed as she took a deep breath slowly rising over the man, preparing to unleash something.
"Don't even think about." Bruce said simply not looking away from the screen
With her cheeks full of Claire let out a disappointed raspberry before floating down and leaning on the chair.
"How'd you know it was me?" Claire asked with a smile
"I know everything." Bruce said simply Claire smiled and kissed his cheek getting a small smile from him
"Where have you been?" Bruce asked
"Heh, I thought you knew everything…... Kara and Captain Atom came to Metropolis." Claire said
"They'd try to recruit you into Luthor's Entourage?" Bruce asked
"Yep, they know if they get Superwoman on their team most of the others would follow behind. Luthor would have his own Justice League of America." Claire said with a groan as she looked at the screen as well containing a map of Gotham
"If I joined would you come with me?" Claire asked
"No." Bruce said without hesitation
"Good." Claire said smiling, but then it turned to a frown
"There hasn't been a lot of activity for anyone recently." Claire said
"Lull's happen, we need to be ready for when crime picks up again." Bruce says
"I am being too stubborn about Luthor, you are the only person I can say this too but he's doing a good job. Things are better now, but I can't shake the feeling that there's something else behind it. Or maybe I just wish it, that this was all some nefarious scheme that I could stop and send him to jail again. But what if this isn't and I'm just being a asshole because of all the crap he put me through and the one thing that he may want from all of this is for me to look him in the eyes and say 'You have done a great job'. Oh my god I am petty." Claire says sighing
"Claire if the Joker suddenly popped up on TV with normal skin, claiming he was sane, and opening a psych ward. I would tear through Gotham to prove otherwise. It's the right way to think with him, you are not being petty, you're being smart." Bruce says as Claire Hmm's
Claire gives a sly smile as she floats over Bruce and gently places herself on his lap as he sat getting an annoyed look from him.
"Claire, we both, have work to do." Bruce says
"I don't hear any sirens." Claire says
"Give it a minute." Bruce says with a smirk
"A minute is all we need." Claire says as she gently held his face and then pressed his lips to his
The two were engaged in the kiss Bruce focusing on her until an alarm was sounded and the computer lit up. Claire had to stop herself from smashing the keyboard as she noticed Bruce was focused on the screen instead of her. She broke the kiss and after a look from Bruce gave an annoyed groan as she lifted herself off his lap allowing him to get up.
"We need to have a date night." Claire says hanging overhead looking at him as he walked towards the Batmobile
"Crime doesn't take date nights, and neither do I." Bruce says as he pulls down his cowl and jumps in the car
Claire smiled as she watched the car zoom down the ramp and into the night. She sighed staying in the air and letting her mind wander for a bit. Until she heard something a cry for help halfway across the world, she smiled as she had work to do as well.
(Note: Yeah Claire Josephine Wayne, I decided to tie the knot with these two. They are truly the Worlds Finest Couple, it may be a bit jarring just dropping you all in the middle like this but this is a story I really wanted to do. I choose this story because it perfectly encapsulates the relationship between Batman and Superman. Thus I will use it to do the same with Superwoman and Batman. I'm gonna sprinkle in some things through this story hinting at their lives so far and things that have happened, relationships that are very different from the comics and TV. Some of this stuff will become stories of their own in the future jumping into different points of Claire's life, this is somewhere in the Middle. She's married, is as the height of being Superwoman, is apart of the Justice League, and came back from the dead. You can be sure I'm gonna do a 'Death of-' story in the future. You'll learn more as the story goes on, but here's a little bit on Claire herself at this time
Claire Josephine Kent/Wayne
Age: 38
Started being Superwoman at 27
Married at 36
Personality wise she's just like Superman, kind, loving, and believes in the best of humanity. Though she does have a bit more of an edge to her, she has the patience of a saint but not when it comes to stupidity. She can get annoyed a lot quicker and tends to be very blunt when so calling people out on their BS and will lay on the Sarcasm hard. She's also very teasing when it comes to dealing with Villains and her teammates (Will become very apparent with Bruce and Lex as time goes on). She's as humble as Superman but there is this little voice in the back of her head that is like 'I'm Superwoman, and that's freaking awesome' so she will make that very apparent with the villains she fights from time to time though she knows not to do it in a serious situation.
Fun facts: 1)Claire is self conscious about her body. She's built like a Amazon and she knows it, but she does not like to show skin. 2) The costume she's wearing now is based off of rebirth and her hair is long. But she used to have the classic trunks look and shorter hair, she changed after a big event in her life. 3) She has been in 2 relationships since she became Superwoman before she married Bruce (Just gonna let your imaginations run wild with that).
And that'll be it for now, if you liked what you read leave a comment. Or if you have a question regarding Superwoman and her life also leave a comment. I'm thinking of adding little fun facts about her at the end of each chapter I could answer your questions there. Until next time ;)
