"So, you never knew that Aunt Cherry was Batman's goddaughter?" Estelle asked.

"And she never knew you were Superman's?" Akito added.

"Well, of course not," Atticus replied. "It was supposed to be kept secret after we had met them and became their helpers for whenever we visited Metropolis and Gotham City. So, yeah, this is kind of how we found out."

"Ooh." The teenagers smiled.

"So what happened next?" Vincent asked.

"Well..." Atticus then said, going back into the story.


"Guys, is my hair straight?" Lois asked Clark and Atticus as she took out her mirror.

"I think you're fine." Atticus told her.

"Excuse me, aren't you the famous Lois Lane?" Bruce asked the woman.

Lois gasped, accidentally dropping her stuff and looked at him, a bit bashfully. "Me? Famous? Hardly... I mean..." She then pointed behind her, trying to keep calm. "This is Clark Kent."

"Mr. Wayne?" Clark asked as he held his right hand out for a hand shake to Bruce.

"I read all about your adventure on Air Force One," Bruce smiled to Lois as he bent down and helped her get her stuff. "You're quite the news maker."

"Uh! Bruce, don't we have to go now?!" Cherry spoke up through her teeth.

"So, why are you in town, Mr. Wayne?" Atticus asked Bruce.

"Mr. Wayne, Miss Butler, your car." A female driver told the two from Gotham, opening the door for them.

"Maybe we can discuss it over dinner," Bruce said to Lois as he seemed only interested in her. "If you're available."

"Uh, totally," Lois smiled sheepishly. "Uh, I think I'll have to check my calen-Yes."

"Smooth." Atticus smirked.

"Great, I'll pick you up at 8:00," Bruce smiled to Lois before leaving. "Come along, Cherry."

"I guess I'm not invisible." Cherry nearly deadpanned as she went to follow him.

"By any chance, did you forget about something, Lois?" Atticus asked.

"Did I?" Lois smiled dreamily.

Atticus simply sighed as he waited for Lois to remember herself.


"Wasn't that your friend with Bruce Wayne?" Clark asked Atticus.

"Yeah." Atticus nodded.

"That must be weird." Clark said.

"You have no idea..." Atticus muttered.

"So, was this before or after Superman and Lois's wedding?" Akito's voice asked, interrupting the story a bit.

"Before, feels like ancient history looking back on it now." Atticus's voice replied with a small chuckle.

"Oh, okay, just wanted to be sure, anyways, continue." Akito's voice said.

"Thank you." Atticus's voice replied.


Bruce and Cherry were getting settled into Metropolis as it was a lot different from Gotham City. Cherry seemed a little distant as they arrived at their destination of where they would be staying.

"Well, here we are." Bruce told Cherry.

"Uh-huh." Cherry replied.

Bruce soon noticed Cherry was being distant. "Is something on your mind?" He asked her, a bit concerned.

"I'm fine." Cherry replied, though she clearly wasn't as she stared off into space.

"No, you're not." Bruce told her.

Cherry turned away from him.

"This is about that boy?" Bruce asked, referring to Atticus.

"You mean Atticus?" Cherry replied. "He's just a friend."

"Then why are you so distant?" Bruce asked.

Cherry turned away from him.

"Come on, you know you can tell me anything." Bruce said.

"I just have a lot on my mind." Cherry said to him.

"Well, alright." Bruce said.

"Are you really gonna go out with Lois tonight?" Cherry asked.

"I don't see why not," Bruce smiled. "No lady can resist the old Wayne charm."

"Well... It has been a while since you had a date..." Cherry had to admit. "But... Doesn't Lois Lane belong to Superman?"

"Not officially actually from what I've heard." Bruce replied.

"Fair point." Cherry shrugged.

"I guess you'll stay here then?" Bruce asked her.

Cherry shrugged.

"All right... Best behavior," Bruce reminded her about when he would go out with Lois. "Also, I have to meet the person we're here to see."

"You mean Lex Luthor?" Cherry asked. "That guy is bad news."

"I'm sure he is, but I have to know what he's up to." Bruce replied.

"I don't like this..." Cherry commented based on what she knew about Lex Luthor.

"I promise that if he tries anything; I'll there to stop him." Bruce told her.

"I'm sure you will..." Cherry replied.

"Hang on..." Tony's voice said.


"Yes?" Atticus asked.

"You weren't there, how do you know this was going on?" Tony asked, suspiciously.

"Oh, Cherry told me after we went back home that time." Atticus smiled.

"Ohh." Tony said, now understanding.

"Anyway..." Atticus then said, going back in the story.


Cherry went with Bruce to meet Lex Luthor to keep an eye out just in case anything would happen and she did her best to hide her fear since this man was very dangerous.

However, Atticus went with Superman as Sayia Man to the hospital as a man was checked in and seemed to be laughing hysterically like a hyena.

"How long has he been laughing like this?" Saiya Man asked.

"They found him like this at the city dump," Daniel replied, waving his hand in front of the laughing man's face. "Lights are on, but no one's home."

"But we know who did it," Superman replied. "He's telling us right now."

"The Joker did this to him." Saiya Man said.

"Exactly." Superman nodded, even if the Joker was Batman's enemy.

The man continued to laugh out of control as he seemed to be stuck that way which was seriously dangerous because he might end up laughing himself to death. Saiya Man knew exactly that magic could help but couldn't do it with anyone around. The man continued to laugh which was truly a sorry sight to see.

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Turpin." Sayia Man told the policeman.


The next day came as Cherry and Bruce were going to meet Lex in person, and where he was going to introduce to them a robot.

"Bruce Wayne, good to meet you." Lex smiled to the billionaire, shaking his hand.

"Lex Luthor," Bruce nodded to him while Cherry came next to him. "And this is my goddaughter: Cherry Butler."

"Hello." Cherry looked up briefly.

"Don't you just look beautiful and grown-up?" Lex smiled politely to her.

"Uh, thanks." Cherry said.

"Please, come with me, I have something to show you." Lex told them.

They followed the man inside and they came to watch a screen.

"I present to you a very special droid." Lex began.

"What's it called?" Cherry asked.

"I've decided to call it The Wayne/Lex T-7." Lex informed.

"Hm." Cherry replied.

They soon watched the droid on the screen as it traveled through a canyon, and where it soon arrived at the top and grabbed hold of a cube which was its target. Cherry adjusted her glasses as she watched.

"As you can see, The Wayne/Lex T-7 contrives the most difficult terrain, never losing sight of its ultimate target." Lex told the two.

"Kinda makes me think of WALL•E." Cherry commented.

They soon looked to the man with a timer.

"14.8 seconds." The man told Lex.

"Congratulations." Bruce smirked to Lex.

"Isn't this your project too?" Cherry asked her godfather.

"It is, but I'm proud of the work that both our teams have done," Bruce replied. "These robots are gonna revolutionize unman space travel."

"Actually, they're maybe useful closer to home." Lex smirked as he put his arm around the billionaire.

"Let me guess; there are more downstairs?" Cherry guessed.

"What a smart little lady you are." Lex smirked, patting her on the head.

Cherry winced to that before touching her hair out of discomfort.

They soon went downstairs to continue exploring.

"The Joint Chief has shown tremendous interest," Lex informed on their way down. "It doesn't take much imagination to invision these robots on the battlefield."

"Except I won't allow it." Bruce told Lex.

Cherry hid a small smirk to that.

"What?" Lex asked Bruce.

"Cherry and I don't like guns." Bruce replied.

"Especially since it brings back a bad past to Bruce." Cherry added.

"Well, Bruce, I think I have something to say about this." Lex smirked innocently.

"Not according to our deal. All technological applications need my approval first," Bruce replied as he went to the elevator with Cherry. "Blame it on me, Lex. Tell your pals at the Pentagon I just don't have the imagination."

"Smart decision." Cherry told Bruce.

"I'm a smart man." Bruce replied.

"Oh, brother." Cherry smirked playfully.


Later that night...

Cherry sat on the bed, looking at a book she was given.

"Well, I best get going." Bruce told her as he had a date.

"Have a nice date." Cherry said.

"Thank you, you behave yourself, alright?" Bruce told her.

"I will." Cherry replied.

Bruce nodded and then left to go on a date with Lois. Cherry soon began to read the book she had.
