He dropped off the very expensive and Italian coffee machine to the Daily Planet as a gift for all the hard workers thinking that they would like it. But to his dismay they would all rather have a normal regular cup of coffee or one from a shop with so many deadly ingredients in it that it would like a horse if it drank it in no time at all.

Some liked it and most did not but at least he got a few great grunts out of them as they drank it all down as they walked away from the machine giving it hateful looks as they walked away from it.

He also noticed the Kent girl almost practically tip toeing behind him as she listened to her headphones and blaring music as she went to get a cup from it. Getting two cups of espresso one for herself and one for the boy hat still had coffee stains on his sleeves. He could see it as an apology gift to him as she put it down and walked away stumbling as she did it and almost dropping her own at the same time and around someone as well. Much to his own amusement he would never get tired of watching this girl and everything that she did was hilarious in her own way.

She had to be the clumsiest person that he had ever met in his life and he had met many of criminals that when they were very nervous and terrified became clumsy but when he compared them to her it was astronomical the difference.

Well right now he was going on a business meeting and a date that he had managed to get at the last minute as usual with one of the woman that was at the interview that he could not remember for the life of him or the woman's name for that matter.

He just remembered that she was blonde and had very long legs.

And she was now coming and he was now ready and set to go for the night so that he could get more information from those people that had been attacked and some murdered by the latest Vigilante that had appeared to come out of nowhere.

He had some ideas who it was and he had to get his facts start first without jumping to any conclusions because confronting either of the duo identities because that would be a mistake. The evidence that was there was all circumstantial and he was hoping that that was all it was because he was hoping that he was wrong, that his hunch was wrong. But rarely his hunch was ever wrong, he was just hoping that he would not lose another friend to the criminal life again. He had already lost Harvey Dent to Two Face he was hoping that he would not lose Oliver to this Green Arrow monster that was going around killing criminals simply because he could.

" You look absolutely stunning if you do mind me saying so " he said as the blonde approached.

She blushed " Why Thank You Mr Wayne " she said giggling at him as he wrapped her arm around his.

He started to escort her out by taking her arm and holding the door as he always did.

" Please call me Bruce " said Bruce as he smiled giving a heart lighted chuckle.

This was going to be a long and boring night he could just feel it. Right now, he would rather be on the rooftops or even having a fist cuff fight with any villain in Gotham that be 'Brucie' right now because nothing was worse than a fake persona and sadly he had made this one by himself. He wished he made such a simpler and persona than the one that he had not have to degrade himself so much and smile so much that it hurt.

Well it was another black-tie event that he was attending but also so were the many targets of Green Arrow that had been attacked and threatened. And some he suspected would be targeted soon as well.

Most of all he suspected that Lex Luthor was the next target the man he could not find a single thing on or a shred of proof of his crimes that he had committed. But he knew the man was guilty all of the High Elite and the rich knew that this man or rather young man was dirty because all you had to do was meet him and your skin would crawl.

The rumours surrounding his Father's death of being murdered or it being a suicide was never solved and it seemed like it had never had happened at all.

" The apple does not fall far from the rotten tree "

He heard an elderly drunk woman mutter to her husband and others as they were all gossiping about Lex Luthor ad his business tactics compared to many others.

Lionel Luthor was a criminal there was no doubt about that but he was always a shark when it came to business and a cockroach when it came to surviving the apocalypse of his and his own companies demise. And he always came out of it stronger than ever with more cockroaches by his side following him in a scurry in the mess that had been made.

But Lionel Luthor's world had come to an end and he was sure as hell that it came at the hand of the man's own son.

LuthorCorp was now named LexCorp. Talk about ego naming a company after yourself and not so long after his Father had died the change was made, some people would have kept the old name as a tribute or in honour of their Father but that was not the Luthor case.

She got back to the apartment just after seven having just grabbed a couple of Hotdogs for her lunch because she was starving and did not get the chance to get anything to eat earlier in the day. So that had explained the Hotdogs for Lunch and her Father had called her saying that she could not come for dinner because her Grandfather had dropped in unexpectedly for a visit to see his daughter and Granddaughter.

So, it turned out they had forgotten to tell me that she had an Internship in Star City and was staying with a couple of friends. So, she knew that there was a couple of ways that it could possibly turn out either way she knew that it would end with her Father and Grandfather disagreeing on something or anything. They would even argue on the colour of the sky at the times she remembered when she was a child was one of her few memories of him.

And also, the part her Dad had told her at the last moment of the phone call was that her Grandfather was going to be dropping in on her to see how she was doing and more importantly where she was staying. Knowing him he was not going to approve of where she was staying and he would disapprove of her friends, having already disapproving of Pete the one time that they had met.

She loved her Grandfather but she hated thinking it but he could be a real prick with a stick right up his ass at all times when he was around. The only two people she knew that she had seen him be nice to was herself and her mother. But he always had to give her a dig about her marriage and the state of her life that she had chosen to have.

But the most sickening thing he had said was about herself was that he was glad that his Granddaughter was adopted that way she would not inherit her Father's loser genes and would actually have a chance of escaping from "One Hick of a Town " that was Smallville. Saying that she and his daughter deserved better than this kind of life and that he had not raised her to be a quitter.

So, after that conversation they had not spoken in quite some time not even on Christmas but would just give the usual presents by post. But now he was reaching out and she was curious to why he was and she did want to see him for years but she took her Dad's side not wanting to see him, so she never told him that she wanted to see him for his sake.

But now she would be seeing him soon and she was more than happy to see him. And she was still debating that she should tell him the truth well at least about her powers anyway and that way he could understand everything.

He was a good man, an arrogant man but a good man. She could tell this because of some of the people that he had helped and the way he would work to the bone trying to help his clients was truly committed and a drive like she had never seen before in someone his age.

If she did not want to be a Journalist then she would want to be a Lawyer likely him in many ways working for the little guy. Though he did tend to work for the rich and successful more but he would always work for the ones that needed it and the ones that no one would dare touch because of the danger.

His mostly deadly rival was always the Luthor's and he always kept it his business and family separate from each other as far away as possible.

Another Billionaire that was indirectly in her life and one she was never hoping to ever meet again or have any other connection to at all in her life. Meeting two Billionaires was enough and she did not intend to meet another single one, other than the fact that she was going to a Night Club owned by one and going to the Party very soon.

Well right now there was a TV show that she was dying to see and since no one was around she could be singing and maybe dance long to the song, like she always did when no one was around. But she would never tell anyone that she did it because they would hold it against it forever and ever.

" Oh yeah " she said rather musically.

Right now, she was watching Kim Possible and was singing along with it.

" I'm your basic average girl and I'm here to save the world
You can't stop me 'cause I'm Kim Possible
There is nothing? I can't do and when danger calls "

She looked around and no one was there so she started to dance and jump about like the ways she does in the song.

"It doesn't matter where or when there's trouble
If ya just call me name, Kim Possible

Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
When ya wanna page me it's okay
Whenever you need me baby
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me "

Then she heard laughter and fell flat on her face in humiliation.

" He you really can fly or at least float " said Chloe.

And Chloe pressed pause.

" Clark, I think you have a beautiful voice I really wish you would sing more " said Lana.

She stood up turning redder by the minute.

" Thank you for the compliment " said Clark.

" You do have an amazing voice but do you really have to sing in the shower all the time. You keep using all the hot water up and you are the only one that can heat it up " said Chloe.

Looks like her humiliation was not over yet.

" So how was your day ? " said Clark.

She was trying to change the subject as best at that she possibly could.

" Nice try Clark but come on we would like to hear you sing again it might get your floating on air again " said Chloe teasing.

But she could see that they were excited to tell her something.

" Oh, come on Chloe go on we need to tell her the good news " said Lana.

" Fine then Clark you win for the moment " said Chloe.

She was hoping that they would not get back to it ever. And she was now mortified that they had actually heard her singing in the shower and that was something that she was never going to be doing again.

" I well we were invited to the hottest Party of the year " said Chloe excitedly.

OH !

" Well actually I have to work at as a waitress but at least I get to dress up in a nice dress " said Lana.

" And I have to work with computer because they are all amateurs and they do not know a thing, it was just lucky a friend of mine was able to me the job " said Chloe.

She nodded she was not sure if she was correct or not but if she was guessing that if her guess was right the Part they were talking about was the one that she had been invited to as well.

Oh, she would be working alright but she would really be working the next day because she would be writing a short article about it.

" It wouldn't be the Queen Party at Verdant would it ? " said Clark.

" Yeah it is for Thea Queen, how did you know ? " said Lana.

" Well I am sort of going as well, writing an article for it " said Clark sheepishly.

" How the help did you manage to pull that one off ? " demanded Chloe.

She scratched her head nervously.

" I was invited by the owner of the club " she said nervously.

She saw the both wide eyed and in shock.

" OLIVER QUEEN ! " they both screamed and a little bit of a squealing was involved as well.

She nodded sheepishly.

" Yeah so guess we are all going to the Birthday Party, so that is good news for everyone " said Clark.

She could tell that they wanted to ask more questions and she really did not want to answer them because if they kept asking her question they would be asking her more question on the latest people that were in her life.

" Well I got a plus one so I thought I would invite Pete to come with me " said Clark.

They were both smiling at her as she was about to call Pete and ask him to come.

" What ? " she said.

" I am just surprised Clark. I thought Pete would be the first one to ask you on a date and not the other way around, good for you Clark being the first one to take control of the whole situation and not the male " said Chloe.

She turned bright red the moment and what was worse the phone was still ringing and she was saying nothing at all.

" wh-what what are you talking about ? Mme and Pet that there is no way that we ...No Pete does not like that and...I do not like him like that...I have never thought of him like that before. No not in a million years ! could me a Pete be together because best friends do not date each other ...N-no no way " said Clark.

Lana entered the room again.

" Is Clark having another melt down again ? " said Lana.

" I think she is slowly realizing that Pete is into her and has also been into her " said Chloe.

They were both watching her amused and waiting for her to stop.

" Clark maybe you should put the phone down and thin before you say anything else " said Lana.

" Hello ? " said Pete.

She put her hand over the phone screen so that he could not hear a single word that she was saying.

" Help " she said.

This was possibly one of the scariest moments in her life.

" A girl that is super powered cannot even ask a guy out " said Chloe.

" Hey it is not one of my powers " she said defensively.

Chloe took the phone from her.

" ...? " said Lana and Clark.

" Clark are you in trouble ? " said Pete.

She was surprised he had still not hung up on her.

" Hi Pete, it Chloe " said Chloe.

" Chloe what are you doing with Clark's phone ? " said Pete.

" I am doing you a favour and asking you out on a date to a Party as she has a plus one and ..." said Chloe.

" Chloe I don't know...I guess I will go on a date with you " said Pete.

He quickly hung up the phone.

" WHAT ?! " all three girls screamed at the same time.

Chloe almost dropped her phone and she was just lucky that she had caught it on time.

" It looks like you have a date with Pete " said Clark nervously.

" Not funny Clark " said Chloe.

But Lana was definitely laughing at the situation.

" Hey come how is this my fault " said Clark.

She so wishes she had the ability to fly right now or to turn invisible because this was one of the most tense moments of her life.

" You should have figured out your feelings about Pete long time ago and come on Clark with ALL of your abilities to see you cannot even SEE that Pete is in Love with you since the day that he had met you " said Lana.

Her mouth had dropped and it felt like everything was in slow motion going so slow that it was like no one was moving at all.

She had to ask her Mum because she would tell her the truth and she would not tease her about it at all, well hopefully she would not.

WOOSH

" Clark ? " said Chloe peering out the door.

Lana sighed.

" She is gone again, like always when she realizes something and heads straight to the danger " said Lana.

" So her Mum or maybe Pete ? " said Chloe excited.

Knock Knock

" maybe that is the happy couple now ? " said Chloe.

" Why would they knock, Clark does have a key or maybe she forgets it again " said Lana.

Chloe opened the door shocked to what she was seeing.

" Hello tall, dark and handsome " said Chloe with thinking.

" Hello I am not sure I have the right address, but does Clark Kent live here ? " said the man reading the piece of paper.

They both stared and each other and nodded.

" Clark, she is not in right now " said Lana.

" Yeah, she just had to step out for a while, go for a walk to clear her head " said Chloe.

They did not know just how much she had to clear her head.

" But can we help you ? " said Chloe flirting with the stranger.

He smiled at her which made her smile even more.

" Well Ollie was supposed to send this to the Daily Planet but since he gave me my invitation and he just happened to have Clark's at the same time I thought I could just hand it to her in person since I was heading in this direction anyway " he said.

They both nodded in acknowledgement.

Chloe took the invitation from him as she barely looked at it as she was handed a book.

" Well it was nice seeing you Ladies, tell Clark I said Hi " he said as he began to walk away.

They watched him for a moment.

" What is your name by the way ? " said Chloe.

He smiled " Bruce Wayne " he said and then began to walk away.

The door was closed.

The squealed as soon as it did.

" Clark know Bruce Wayne and she did not tell me " said Lana shocked.

" Forget that Clark knows two Billionaires and never thought to tell us. I mean that is major news more than going to some party she knows Billionaires. And one just happened to drop by and hand delivered an invitation for her " said Chloe.

" So it is Pete or a Billionaire Boy ? " said Lana.

The both paused and starred at each other asking the obvious question.

" Sorry Pete but you have no chance " said Chloe.

" Come on Chloe Pete is a great guy " said Lana.

" Yeah, he is but did you see that guy ass, he has buns of steel " said Chloe.
