Chapter 2

The rest of the summer passed quickly for Clark and before he knew it it was time to go to Gotham City where he had received an apprenticeship so he could get some experience of working somewhere other than a farm.

Chloe was the other student that had received an invitation from Bruce Wayne, Lana and Pete were both off to another company. Each business involved would take on a boy and girl from the school.

Lex knew Bruce Wayne from business transactions and was driving them all down to Gotham City so that they could be introduced properly, it would also give them a good start on their apprenticeship.

Clark had missed both Scarlet and Harry over the holiday but knew that they loved each other and Scarlet would make sure they were together and Clark also knew that she needed to follow her own path. This was how he came to let her go. He was just used to protecting her but he knew Harry would do so with his life.

Lex was in the front seat with Clark next to him whilst Chloe was in the back sleeping. They had being driving most of the night and would take another or so to get their.

They were being put in the mansion the Bruce owned and would meet him later that night. He promised though to be with Harry and Scarlet for Christmas, they all planned to spend it at Aduro.

The mansion they pulled up to a little more than an hour later was stunning. The walls were stone and had vines growing up them. It was similar to Lex's mansion but bigger.

Lex pulled in and climbed out and gracefully headed for the boot to unload the suitcases. Clark immediately started helping him and they walked to the large wooden front doors. A camera was skilfully hidden in the vines above the door.

A man opened the door in butler clothes and invited them in. They were lead to rooms and soon enough were unpacking, Lex though zoomed out to check in at a hotel he was staying at.

Clark's room was light green and had a king-size bed, a desk, sofa and bookcase with a selection of books. It also had a joint bathroom.

The view was of the outdoor pool and the tennis court.

Clark knew he could like it here.

The shock of the Gryffindor Golden Boy dating a girl that wasn't Cho Chang was quickly gotten over but they still didn't know why they were dating and how the couple met. The two were rarely seen out of each others presence.

Yet Dumbledore and the rest of the staff knew that it was something more than your average couple. After all if you date someone in the holidays you know that at the school year you would have to leave them, so why did she run after him to Hogwarts?

Even Ron and Hermione had noticed that Harry seemed to distance himself from them and spend more and more time with Scarlet. They tried to question him subtly about his summer but he just gave evasive answers which basically said nothing.

They settled into their semi-normal life and kept on going out during the evenings to the room of requirement.

Harry was also looking into that army that Jor-El mentioned but he had no idea where to get one.

He figured that things would fall into place in due time.

He also wondered about krptonian marriage laws and how that would affect him.
