This was not what she was expecting.

This was not what she was expecting at all.

For some unknown reason Bruce Wayne was sitting at the table that she was to be seated at and he looked just as surprised as she did because this was something that neither of them were expecting.

All her senses were on alert and her brain was telling her to run back to Kansas as fast as she can. Heck it was even telling her to get up, up and away, if she had to. But she would break the roof and everyone would know that she had superpowers and her secret would be out. Then she would be outed as an alien before she knew it. Temptation of running was not the best idea right now. This guy had already had enough to be suspicious of her, and he knew that she knew a lot of things that she shouldn't. She would just have to get this lunch over with, with whatever it was in the first place.

And he did her eyes dart I the opposite direction. Remembering that she just saw him a couple of hours ago was not good all because what had happened and the dilemma that she was now in. The memory of him brushing her hair back and touching her skin me her blush for a second. It took all her willpower and consternation to be able to take her blush away, hopefully before he could see it and she could feel the heat in her cheeks die down.

"Mr Wayne?" was all she could say.

Kill me now.

Just kill me now.

If there was anything that can kill me they better do it now.

Let the ground swallow me whole.

Or let me dig the hole myself, so I can escape from myself.

Please, somebody save me !

Somebody save me !

And she so wanted to bite her nails right now.

What was it about this man that made her feel so intimidated?

God Darn it !

He was not sure what was happening but if he was going to enjoy every moment of his current freedom then he better enjoy every moment of it. Well, his Lawyer was running late and for the first time in his he was actually early to a meeting. And the first one to the meeting, something was telling him his turn of luck was changing or more likely this was not a consequence at all. He might as well start off with a little mild teasing to begin with to see what was happening and how it was likely to unfold.

"I see that you took up on my offer and would be delighted to join me for dinner," he said casually.

She was so innocent that it was adorable.

He stood up and had already pulled out the seat beside himself.

"Milady" he said politely as she sat down and then proceeded to push her seat in.

Using her super hearing to listen for her Grandfather's heartbeat to find out where he was and how fast he would get here. He was stuck in traffic and was at least ten minutes away and this was going to ten minutes of her life that she could ever get back. As of right now Bruce Wayne thought that she was on a date with him and for some reason she did not correct him the moment he had spoken of it.

She was thirsty, and she needed a drink of water so that she would be able to speak. She quickly grabbed the glass that was in front of her and quickly drank it down.

She just watched Bruce sip his tea as she tried to think of something to say but she was dumbstruck and just proceeded to nod along to what he had to say.

Was she on a date with him or was he thinking this was an interview?

He was not sure how she was able to get in the building and past the extra security that had been put in place as the police that were he so accordingly. But this was a pleasant surprise and all too amusing because he always enjoyed her time with her as it was never boring.

All he could do was talk and keep talking. She was not putting a single word in edges wise and for once he wished that his date would actually talk to him and have a proper discussion with him. Even if it was utter nonsense, it would be better than the trivial that he was speaking and he was getting rather tiresome of The Brucie Act.

"So, you're going to college?" asked Bruce.

She nodded.

He knew that she had three scholarship offers from three very different colleges, all for Journalism for the many articles that she had gotten to write while in Star City.

From what he had known she had declined the scholarship for Gotham University that he had earned with the well written Interview that she had given that had made him and his company do well for business.

He had also known that with everything that had happened there was little chance that this girl would want to step another foot in Star City again, after what she had found out. Any sane person would keep their mouth quiet and never speak a word of it and keep far away from it as possible. And as far as he knew she did.

All that remained was the one in Metropolis University. A little talk and suggestion in someone's ear goes a long way especially when that person is Perry White. Who is now climbing his way to soon to be Chief in Metropolis. An Editor that will be able to trusted and relied on to tell the truth to the world no matter the consequences to their personal life or their career.

And then she interrupted his train of thoughts the moments he accidentally knocked over a glass cup of water, all over the table.

"Oops, sorry" said Clark blushing and doing her best to clean up the mess that she had made, again.

At least this time he remained dry to the bone, without even a speck of water that was dropped onto him this time around. The childish of thought of revenge of soaking her had come up once or twice but he had to behave right now because for all him knew he could end up in another jail cell.

Thankfully the waiters were used to this kind of before or stroke of bad luck happening because within seconds. The mess was cleaned up, and everything was put back to normal as if it never happened.

"I need to go to the bathroom," said Clark.

And before he could utter another word, she had already stood up and was making her way to the bathroom. Well, she was going to the men's before she realised that she was going the wrong way, and this was before she had asked someone for directions. This was all too amusing and made him smile out of pure joy and that was a rarity. This girl was a rarity and felt like he had to get to know her more.

Before he knew it William Clark was been taken to his table.

"Bruce" he said greeting him.

"Mr Clark" said Bruce shaking his hand as he greeted him.

They both sat down at the same time.

BUZZ

She had thought that she had put her phone on silent instead of vibrate.

So, it was all too surprising and awkward when she received a phone call from Pete in the middle of what was possible a date or interview. She did not know if he knew himself which one it was or if it was the potential of both.

She knew from experience that seeing him with Cat Grant that a "Dinner Interview" was a date and led to much more. And from what she had read when she needed to know as much as possible on him.

The one-sided battle that Cat had with him was starting to get hilariously funny. Cat had actually helped Bruce Wayne with the article that she had written about her relationship with him and how he could never be 'The Green Arrow.' It was well written, and it did not reflect well on him as a person. And she even found out where he was staying and wrote it into her article, and this would explain the crowd outside.

She did not know why her Grandfather wanted to meet here with her at the same time as a person that was supposed to be a client. Hopefully, it was just a fix up and he had forgotten all about the meeting or the meetings just happened to clash with over time. He was running late and maybe Bruce just happened to forget the time, or maybe not.

She was feeling itchy and nervous all over.

Oh right back to her phone, which she just missed.

She was now in one of the bathroom stalls (why did she tell him she was going to the toilet?) trying to phone back Pete. But he was not picking up or was doing his best to ignore her. And she was doing her best not to invade 'his privacy' by using her powers to see what he was doing.

Her nerves got the better of her and she decided to just give up for the now.

She could hear her Grandfather's heartbeat getting closer and…he was already here and she had distracted herself by just staring at her phone. His heartbeat was calm and pacing normally like clockwork. But the other one was not so much as it was ramping up and was full of mixed emotions, and she knew that heartbeat.

"Fudge," she said.

He was sitting down with Bruce Wayne, and from what she could see he was not leaving anytime soon. She was just going to have to get this over with and see what the heck was going on here.

Hopefully, he had brought the paperwork with him. He would just quickly hand her right there and then she could get this over with. She would see him another time, when he was not with a client and she was as far away as possible from Bruce Wayne.

Maybe she got there a little too fast because she was already back at the table and was already sitting down with the two of them.

And why was all she is thinking about was the thought of Pete breaking up with her?
