"He bought the freaking hotel," she muttered to herself.

"He bought the freaking hotel," she muttered to herself and louder as she talked to herself.

She was really doing her best not to swear or make crude remarks but something about Bruce Wayne rubbed her the wrong way and made her say things she did not want to say.

He actually bought a five-star hotel for a place to stay for his house arrest. The Rich (1%) are really different from the rest of the world and live different lives from the rest of the mere mortals that live on Earth.

"He bought the freaking hotel," she muttered to herself again and even more annoyed.

She could barely believe it herself. And just how casually he brushed it off as if it was in passing and normal day to day things to do and say.

"I bought this Hotel."

"Hmm do you know the name of this place?" He had said asking her while he filled in forms he had to hand into the police.

"It starts with a…I want to say a I or a B" He said asking her because he really did not know the name of the building. Or he was getting better at the Brucie act and was even starting to fool her.

"Where is the nearest bar again?"

"Oh right, I have my own bar here."

He was so doing on purpose, especially because she had not called him by his first name yet. And she was SO not calling him it. No way would that be happening? It was a plan that she was not going to call him it and she was calling fall through on this one.

"Clarkie" He started to call her when he was getting tipsy and like an overexcited puppy wanting attention and someone to play with him.

What was worse Mr Wayne had insisted that she stay at the Hotel, since she was working/helping him. All expenses paid of course.

She just smiled politely and said "No."

"But Thank You for the offer" said sweetly.

And he proceeded to annoy her anyway as if he was a silly schoolboy.

He got to her so much somehow she ended up having a conversation with her mum about it on the phone. Her Mum had called her worried something that happened to her because she had disappeared and left Pete all alone on the Farm. She kind of forgotten about Pete and the fact that she was supposed has gone home again. It just kind of slipped her mind and that was what the phone call was all about.

It also turned out her Grandfather had neglected to her mum what was happening and this led to another argument between her Dad and her Grandfather. But on the plus side they were finally talking after so many years.

But her Dad really did not like the idea of her staying in a Hotel with someone "with the likes of Bruce Wayne." Her Dad really did not like him and that made her smile. She always loved her fatherly bond with him, and this was another thing that they had in common.

But she did have to sneak off to Smallville to stop her Dad coming to Metropolis from being the overprotective Dad that he was and will always will be. She also happened to find a shotgun in his truck.

So, in the end it was her Grandfather that was staying at the Hotel and she was staying at his apartment instead. So, she was happy.

She was now living in the apartment that her Mum's childhood home and it was not what she was expecting at all.

"Stupid Bruce Wayne," she muttered to herself.

She was not going to let him get under her skin. No way in heck. She could see that a cat was stuck in a tree ad was too afraid to jump down on the ground. It was so cute and afraid with the meowing that she had to rescue it.

"Awww," she said.

Within seconds she was already up in the tree holding a purring cat in her arms that was sniffing her and licking her at the same time. He was not afraid anymore and was too distracted/fascinated by her scent that he probably never smelled before. Like all animals did the loved the smell of her especially cats loved the smell of her the most. It was as if she was catnip to them and they always wanted more. She quickly and swiftly jumped down on the ground before he even knew it.

"Mittens," she read out loud the name on the collar.

"Who's a good boy?" she said stroking him.

His address was on the collar. He lived nearby house, and he could make it safely home himself. He no longer needed her help and would be fine by himself. She has him one more hug and then set him on all four paws on the ground.

"It is time to go home, Mittens," she said to him.

He just gave her a sad gleaming look with his eyes as he moved his head side wards.

"Meow" "Meow" "Meow" "Meow" "Meow" "Meow" he pleaded for attention.

Clark crouched down and looked at him.

"Time to go inside," she said patting him on the head.

And in a blur the cat Mittens was confused for a moment because the person that was sitting right beside him had just disappeared.

"Meooow" he yowled in confusion.

He wagged his tail annoyed that he was no longer getting attention. He was starting to get hungry and really wanted more attention. He needed to go home and find someone to play with and get something to eat.

She was on the top floor and was looking down from the balcony to make sure that Mittens got home safe and sound. She really wished that Mum was not allergic to cats because she always wanted one or two and then a litre of kittens to go along with it. But she was especially happy with all the animals that she did. Looking at them now made her really miss them even more.

And a like a cat curiosity got the better of her and she decided to see what he was up to. And she was rather taken aback and surprised to what she was seeing.

"Of course he has one," she said talking to herself again.

She looked even closer to what he was doing and how he was doing it.

"He has a freaking plane," she was thinking out loud.

She could see him getting onto a plane that she herself could barely see if she did not use her x-ray vision at first to acknowledge it.

There was a massive plane in the sky, and no one could see it because it was so dark and must have some sort of stealth system operating in it.

"And of course he is dressed as Batman," she hardly said believing what she was seeing and yet not too surprised to it.

She looked closer and could see that he was talking to someone. Maybe she just listens in a little and just makes sure that he does not get himself into any trouble. If were to get himself caught or put in any danger she would be worried what would happen to him...Him being her Grandfather who had put a lot of effort into helping him.

He could feel someone was watching him.

He turned his head around, and he was looking in her direction.

"Yeep" she immediately ducked down.

She swore he was looking at her in that moment.

It was embarrassing. Especially with someone with superpowers that could easily take him out before he even blinked or knew what would happen. She was truly pathetic crouching down and hiding behind the balcony.

"The damn thing is made of lead" she said to herself as she tried looking through it.

She wanted on the floor as she crouched down waiting for something to happen. A part of her was afraid that he had actually seen her, and he was coming for her because he had figured it out.

But within seconds later she heard a light hummer and the sensation of the vibration of the plane going away.

Sigh

She sighed in relief and lay down on the balcony floor. She was finally able to relax now that he was not in the same City as her.

"He is so going back to Gotham," she said to herself astonished.

He was barely out of the jail cell, and he was already going back on the job.

She did not want to get involved in this, and she should just go back to bed. She should forget everything that she saw and plays dumb. She was rather good being the idiot around him.

She snorted annoyed at him.

Then she started to sniff.

"Smoke?" she said to herself.

She could smell smoke and hear the sirens of several fire engines, police and ambulances going west of the City. People were screamed scared or their lives and in pain.

And without even thinking and just reacting, Clark jumped off the balcony ledge. Fell three floors until she defied gravity and started to fly. Breaking the speed of sound, she went off into the flames to the rescue. This was her first time doing this in Metropolis and it would not be her last.

She was up, up and away!

She was off to the rescue people in the new Lex Corp building.
