    Summary

    The only thing he can think to say is: “I’m old enough to be your—”

    “Very attractive executive assistant?” Bruce quips cheekily, cutting him off.

    Flustered, Lucius rubs his hand down his face, shocked to find his cheeks hot to the touch. He suddenly feels a great rush of sympathy for anyone Bruce Wayne’s ever flirted with, it’s not nearly as easy to stay unaffected by when wholly focused on him.

    (Or: a normal conversation at work between Lucius and Bruce rapidly becomes anything but routine when Bruce makes his move. A short getting together fic for the Bruce Wayne Age Gap Challenge!)

    Summary

    The boy watches him carefully, focusing sharply on his every reaction, “You got any kids?”

    Bruce makes sure the surprise at the question is not evident on his face, “I don't,” He answers heavily.

    Peter closes his eyes with a slow and deliberate movement, disappointment evident in the way his shoulders relax in defeat, “So you're not my dad, huh?”

    “No, Peter,” Bruce confirms gently, not sure why the truth feels wrong, “I'm not your father.”

    The boy opens his eyes, expression full of grief and eyes a blazing gold flecked with green, “My name's actually Jason.”

    Summary

    “You're American?” The young man turns to him. Despite the faint ringing in his ears, Bruce hears the man's tone of slight displeasure, and suspicion, at the fact.

    Wiping his cheek with the back of his hand and grimacing at the sting and blood that comes away, Bruce sighs, “And you're English. What an awful pair we make.”

    It was the right amount of wit and humorous self deprecation, since the stranger grins in response, “Pleasure to meet you. I wish it was under better circumstances.”

    Military, Bruce assumes, shaking the hand firmly, “Thomas Malone.” he introduces himself with a polite nod.

    “Alfred Pennyworth,” the young man replies, eyes narrowing when Bruce startles and squeezes his hand a little too tight. Holy shit.

    (Bruce gets sent fifty years into the past and meets a familiar stranger.)

    Summary

    The staff meeting after Cat had broken her foot had involved a lot of reassigning, since she couldn’t exactly do the usual society beat with her foot in a boot. So much that Clark hadn’t really thought twice when Perry had said “and Kent, you’ll take the new Wayne foundation piece,” because sure, he liked working the philanthropy stories occasionally. It wasn’t until they’d gotten back to their desks that Lois had burst into a fit of snickering and said “oh, I would pay money to see how you’re going to handle Bruce Wayne for two weeks,” and Clark had realized how majorly screwed he was.

    -
    On a two-week assignment, Clark does his best to figure out Bruce Wayne. Bruce does his best to make sure he can't. Unfortunately, they're just too good at working together, even when they don't know it.

    For Superbat Week 2024, day 1: identity shenanigans.
