Epilogue: The Fine Print

Oliver walks into the Daily Planet building and heads for Clark’s desk. He smiles when he sees him, all rumpled suit and oversized glasses and stooped shoulders, but he stops before he reaches the desk because Lois is there, and what she’s saying makes his temper flare.

 

“Would it kill you to pick up an iron, Smallville? How do you expect to become an actual reporter if you don’t dress for success? First it was flannel, and now, the ugliest suits I’ve ever seen. Maybe I should take you shopping, because God knows, you’ll never get a date looking like that, and I worry about you ending up alone, Clark. ”

 

He knows he shouldn’t. He really shouldn’t. Not least because Lois is not a bad person; she’s just tactless and enjoys insulting Clark any chance she gets. But Clark doesn’t deserve this, and Oliver can’t resist.

 

He walks up to Clark and kisses him. And kisses him. Clark is tense at first, because they haven’t exactly told anyone about them, yet. It’s still new, and Oliver did date Lois, once upon a time. But it doesn’t take long for Clark to fall into the kiss with as much enthusiasm as Oliver has quickly grown to appreciate from him. They ignore Lois’s shocked gasp and the rising murmurs of the people around them.

 

When Oliver pulls back, Clark’s eyes are glazed and his breathing is ragged, and Oliver can’t even be smug about it because he’s in much the same condition.

 

“Hey, Clark.” He makes sure that Lois can hear him. “I forgot my underwear at your place last night. Do you think I can come over when you get off work and pick them up?”

 

Clark grins even as he blushes, and Oliver feels unbelievably happy.

 

“Actually,” Clark says, “I think that pair is pretty much a write-off. They were a little…shredded, so I threw them out.”

 

Oliver has to laugh. It would be a nice touch for the show they’re putting on, except that somehow, Oliver thinks Clark is telling nothing but the truth. “In that case, why don’t you come to my place tonight? The bed’s bigger.”

 

“Sure. I have an errand to run after work, but I can come over after that.”

 

“Then it’s a date. I’ll be waiting,” he adds, while he cops a quick feel of Clark’s crotch and earns a quiet moan in response. “Oh, hi, Lois,” he says as he turns to leave. “Don’t keep Clark too late, today. He and I have plans.”

 

Then he walks away and thinks about all the things he wants to do to Clark when he shows up. He thinks it’s time they switch things up a bit and he gets the chance to be on top.

 

*          *          *

 

“Superman.”

 

“Don’t start, Batman. I came here for a reason. I need to ask you a favour.”

 

Clark notes the almost imperceptible movement underneath the cowl as Batman’s eyebrows rise.

 

“What makes you think I’m going to do you this favour?”

 

Clark sighs, because really, this is one favour Batman will be thrilled to provide. He holds out his hand and offers the box to Batman, who looks at it warily and makes no move to take it.

 

“Damn it, Batman. Take the damned thing. I need to know you have it, in case something happens and you have to--” He stops, because he isn’t quite sure how to say this without sounding as if he’s crazy or desperate. “I need to know that if I ever get out of control or someone tries to manipulate me, that you have the means to stop me.”

 

Batman looks intrigued, and Clark has to stop himself from smiling, because Batman is very predictable in certain areas.

 

“And this box gives me the means to restrain you?”

 

“Well, it’s not like it’s a harness and whip, but essentially, yes.” And then he blushes, because even though the Bat-costume does make him think things like that, on occasion, this really isn’t the time to be wondering what Batman does to relieve all that tension he never quite seems to lose.

 

“Then what is it?”

 

“Don’t open it, here, please. It’s a piece of refined kryptonite.  One this size could knock me out for days and if you used a little imagination, you could probably even kill me with it. Or at least permanently incapacitate me.”

 

Now Batman looks shocked, and Clark tells the part of himself that is jumping gleefully in joy for surprising the all-knowing Batman to shut up, because this is serious.

 

“Why are you giving it to me? What about Oliver?”

 

Well, Oliver had warned him that Batman had figured out how things stood between them. “Because Oliver won’t use it. He won’t hurt me like that, even if it’s necessary. And I need to know that if something happens and I start to do things I shouldn’t, start to hurt people or try to take over the universe or something, that there’s someone who can and will stop me.”

 

“And you think I’ll be that person.”

 

“I know you will be. You still don’t entirely trust me, which, in this case, is a good thing. I can count on you to take me out if that’s what you need to do, but I also know that you won’t use what’s in this box recklessly or maliciously.”

 

Batman is silent for a moment, and then he reaches out his right hand to accept the box and the responsibility that goes along with it.

 

“Thank you,” Clark says, and he can hear the relief in his own voice.

 

Clark,” Batman says, and Clark is shocked at the use of his real name when he’s in costume. “If you’re willing to trust me with something that can hurt you, I suppose I owe you the same trust. Especially since I know who you are.” He hesitates for a moment, as if selecting which words to use. “When I’m not in the cape and cowl, I go by Bruce Wayne.”

 

Clark opens his mouth, but he closes it again before he says anything.

 

Bruce Wayne.

 

Well. That is unexpected. The dissipated playboy is actually a grim vigilante with a fetish for bats. Although the more Clark thinks about it, the more sense it makes; Bruce has the money, the isolated location, the perfect excuse for missed appointments and canceled dates and conspicuous absences from expected appearances. He has to admire the genius of Bruce’s façade.

 

“Thank you, Bruce,” he says quietly. “That means a lot.”

 

Batman nods stiffly in acknowledgment. “You’re welcome. Clark.”

 

 “Now there’s somewhere I have to be, so I’ll see you at the next League meeting.”

 

Batman steps back, and Clark heads for home, satisfied that everything is as it should be and the world has no pressing need for him right now.

 

Oliver is waiting for him when he gets in, and Oliver Queen naked and waiting is a beautiful sight. “Lois called,” he says with a grin.

 

Clark groans. “Of course she did.”

 

“She says she needs your help with the article about Superman’s showdown with Lex Luthor, but I told her that she knew we had plans, and she could do her own grunt work tonight while you and I do ours.”

 

“Her obsession with Superman is kind of creepy. She tries to grope me—well, Superman—every time I save her, and she doesn’t seem to realize my eyes are above my belt.”

 

Oliver tugs on Clark’s wrist to get him into bed. “What do you expect, in a uniform that looks like that? If you’d bothered to consult me, maybe it wouldn’t look so much like you were advertising what’s underneath the tights.”

 

“Shut up,” Clark answers, half-heartedly slapping Oliver’s hand away. “She more than makes up for it by treating me like shit as Clark Kent. She doesn’t know how lucky she is to go home every day with all her body parts still attached and no new orifices!”

 

Oliver grins at him in that way that makes Clark’s eyes go hot and threaten to shoot out inappropriately timed laser beams. “What can I say? I was young, and she was flexible.”

 

With a slight whisper of wind, Clark’s uniform sails across the room to land on the dresser, and he slides his hands up Oliver’s calves.

 

“Let’s see how flexible you are, these days, Mr. Queen.”

 

There is a flash of white teeth, and then Oliver flips them. “No, I think tonight we should see how flexible you are.”

 

Clark feels his pulse accelerate. “Oh, I’m pretty flexible. It’s amazing, really, the positions I can get my body into. And I can fly, too, you know.”

 

“Show-off.”

 

“It’s not bragging if it’s true.”

 

Oliver looks him up and down, assessing him carefully. “Okay, then. Let’s get bendy!”

 

Clark is laughing when Oliver kisses him, and he thinks he could get used to having this in his life.

yay! congratulations on completing an excellent story. it was a great read, from start to finish. :)

and i'm so glad you decided to an epilogue. personally i love lois but i really liked seeing oliver show her up. it seems like something he would do. the bruce/clark interaction was awesome too!

this story completely rocked. i'm pretty sure i asked you before, but i just wanted to let you know i added this to my clark/ollie list. :D let me know if you have an objections.

i hope to see more clark & oliver from you in the future! thanks so much for writing this and sharing it with us.

Thank you so much for all your comments throughout the writing of this fic. It has meant a lot to me.

I do actually like Lois a lot of the time. But she is hard on Clark, and in this fic, I think a lot of her behaviour stems from her guilt about Chloe and the fact that Chloe was Clark's best friend.

I'm glad you liked the Bruce/Clark, too. Bruce just showed up and kept showing up. And now I'm contemplating a sequel that would be Bruce/Clark, but I don't know when I'll write it.

Please do go right ahead and add this fic to your Clark/Ollie list. I never tire of people pimping my work, so I'm very happy if you want to do that. And thank you!

I might have exhausted (temporarily) my Clark/Oliver pool of inspiration, so I'll be taking a break from writing that pairing for a while. But I'll probably write more, maybe after Justin Hartley's return in season 7.

oh no, if you write a sequel, on my request at least, please don't make it a bruce/clark. i like to imagine collie stays happy together forever. write another bruce/clark fic and i'll happily read it. :D but it's your story, do what you wish . . . i'm just putting in an early plea. ;)

the list is here if you want to take a look: http://svgurl.livejournal.com/5145.html#cutid1

and ollie won't be back until mid season so you'll have a good long break. :D

*hides under desk* Sorry! Sorry! I was afraid I would get that reaction. How about if I do write that sequel, I will post a big fat warning on it for you. And maybe under the cut I'll post a drabble-sequel of Collie to pacify you.

I have a couple of Bruce/Clark angsty drabbles waiting for posting that might soothe your savage breast, too. LOL

*comes to find you with a plate of cookies to lure you out* sorry, i didn't mean to freak on you. collie is my OTP. *points to icon* and i get a little obsessive sometimes. :D

yes, i will be satisfied with the warning and i'll take the drabble too. :) you don't need to but if you're offering, who am i to refuse? ;)

ooh, because of the world's finest community i'm kind of falling in love with bruce/clark . . . i'd definitely be into the drabbles. :D

Drabbles are love. I have to wait to post for a bit, though, because I've been spamming people's flists with Apotheosis the last few days (and because I have a couple other fandoms I write for.)

And don't worry; you didn't really scare me. I know what it's like to be sensitive about an OTP. Mine is Bruce/Dick, which squicks some people, but I cannot read any fic that has the two of them in it without seeing that pairing regardless of whether or not it's supposed to be there.

bruce/dick doesn't bother me. :) after all, if you think about it, there is a good 6-7 year age gap between ollie and clark too. ;)

and i'm glad to see i'm no the only one who does that. i can't read clex anymore because my twisted, clark/oliver obsessed mind will find a way to add oliver in the story and have him end up with clark. *blushes* LOL. :D

Thank you so very much for your comments and your support while I was writing this fic.

I prefer Bruce/Clark to Clark/Oliver, myself, and I'm actually contemplating a sequel to this fic that would be Bruce/Clark, because Bruce kept creeping into this story and trying to take over. I had to struggle very hard to keep him from muscling Oliver out.

I thought this was a good resolution to the story and part of me did get that thrill of satisfaction when Lois got her comeuppance. And, despite my total love for Clark/Oliver in this story (their chemistry on SV is palpable. Much more than the chemistry between Clark and Lana or even Clark and Lois) I couldn't help but feel that weird vibe that somehow, despite how happy they are together now, that ultimately, it may end up with Clark/Bruce. And if so, then that's really not such a bad thing at all. Clark just has a way of drawing in those billionaires, doesn't he? Thanks for finishing this story. I enjoyed it very much. And if you do that Clark/Bruce sequel? You'll have me reading along with that one, too.

Oh, Clark and his billionair fanclub. LOL

As for the sequel, it's good to know someone would want to read it if/when I write it. Because, you know, Oliver Queen as a character is notoriously promiscuous, and I think even Superman might not be enough for him for too long...

thanks for sticking with the story and commenting; it's greatly appreciated. :D

Oh, I love this. I loved the Clark/Ollie, of course, and the way you portrayed their relationship, but I also loved the Clark and Bruce relationship. It manages to be both the way I imagine Bruce+Clark in comics, mixed with the way I see Smallville Clark reacting to Bruce.

Fabu. *claps loudly.*

*blushes* Thanks. Bruce just refused to stay in the background, and I kept seeing him lurking in the shadows waiting for his chance to swoop in and steal Clark away. The way Bruce is wont to do.

I'm very happy and grateful that you still enjoyed this part. This fic pretty much kicked my ass, and for the life of me, I couldn't keep a consistent tone for more than a couple of parts, but I finished it. It's mammoth and was completely unplanned and all over the place, but I finished it and I feel this huge sense of relief and accomplishment.

Of course, part of me is also shouting, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last!" LOL

I really liked this story. And I liked the ending with leaving Lois' mouth dropped open, and that you left open the possibility that Bruce and Clark will wind up the best friends that they are in canon. Although the mind-wipe thing is morally ambiguous, really, what else could he have done. Just putting Lex in jail never works permanently and there are too many lives at stake for Clark's identity to be known by someone like him. So, short of killing him, which is far worse and Clark just...no, doesn't do that, then that's probably the best alternative.

Now write some Clark/Bruce...now. *cracks whip*

From: [identity profile] ladybugkay.livejournal.com
I'm glad you enjoyed the conclusion. I don't necessarily dislike Lois. Only occasionally. But she does treat Clark badly, and sometimes, she really needs to get her comeuppance. And I, like Oliver, couldn't resist.

>>Now write some Clark/Bruce...now. *cracks whip*

Sir, yes, sir! Now that I've crossed this behemoth off my to-do list, I can step back from Clark/Oliver and slide back into Bruce/Clark. I have a couple of ficlets almost ready--but I've been spamming people's flists, so I have to wait a little bit.

>>Batman steps back, and Clark heads for home, satisfied that everything is as it should be...

Everything is NOT as it should be until Clark is with Bruce! LOL Or, at least, that's what my inner fangirl is screaming. :))

I loved the Clark/Ollie here. They have such a wonderful vibe, and seem so into each other, like the five year wait means they now can't get enough of one another. You got that feeling across perfectly.

Of course, I loved the showing up of Lois, particularly because I have the Lois from the show in mind who has always been so dismissive of Clark. The beginning of this had me smiling hugely.

The scene with Bruce was to die for. :) The comment about whips and harnesses was Clark flirting. He just has to admit it. LOL And I *know* Bruce is feeling it. Why else would he be so willing to let Clark know that he's a beautiful billionaire too, with even more...assets...than Ollie? LOL That's exactly what I took out of Bruce's identity reveal. ;) Manipulative bastard. Hee! Ollie better watch out.

Thanks so much for persevering with this, Kay. It sounds like you had to force yourself to finish, which I can really appreciate since it always seems to me that the endings of stories are always the most difficult to write. I do want to say again how marvelous the story is and what a great accomplishment. Kudos!

Thank you! I actually had this epilogue written before the last two parts, because Bruce wanted a say. (And yes, Clark had to admit he has a bit of a crush on Batman. Hee.) And I do like this epilogue. It's what sets up the S/B sequel I have in mind and might be starting someday soon.

This Lois is the one from the show, and she has been too dismissive of Clark; and long before he became the dorky, bumbling reporter, too, which is unforgivable and therefore deserving of this little comeuppance. :)

Thanks for sticking with this story; although I guess you had to because it's for the contest. Speaking of, thank you for extending the deadline a couple of times. At times, the deadline was a driving impetus in getting me to finish this monster, and I'm grateful for that.

>>This Lois is the one from the show, and she has been too dismissive of Clark; and long before he became the dorky, bumbling reporter, too, which is unforgivable and therefore deserving of this little comeuppance.

LOL, exactly. Who the hell could look at Clark pre-bumbling and not at least admit that he's gorgeous? She lived in his house. She had to have seen him mostly unclothed a time or two. I'd have more respect for her if she admitted what is so obvious and just said that she wasn't interested. LOL

>>And I do like this epilogue.

I thought the epilogue was very fine. And the Batman/Superman part was important for me because the story had a lot to do with Clark's evolution as a hero; it wasn't just about the romance. Clark giving the means to stop himself to Bruce shows intelligence and responsibility and a willingness to act as a hero, and not just when or how it's convenient. So I took a lot away from the ending, along with my certitude that Clark and Bruce are in love. LOL

>>Thanks for sticking with this story; although I guess you had to because it's for the contest.

Okay, now you're being silly. LOL This story was a pleasure, and it had nothing to do with the contest. ;)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you stuck with this until the end, and that the ending worked for you. I'm particularly glad you liked my Ollie, since there really wasn't that much personality to work with from the show itself.

I'm taking a bit of a break from writing Clark/Oliver for a while, but if you haven't read it, yet, I do have another Collie series called Revelations that starts with "Denial." (There are 4 stories). I'll probably come back to writing Oliver, maybe after his reappearance in season 7 to give me more inspiration. Or maybe if I break down and buy season 6 in spite of how little I enjoyed it. LOL

I've just found this fic in a hunt for Clark/Oliver inspired by the new season, and so many are short or flocked, and then I found this. Great stuff! I enjoyed the whole series. Clark's longing in Metropolis and then Oliver's when Clark is gone; Clark finally facing up to Oliver, and then such delicious hotness when they get together, I love it. You built such a believable relationship, and to see it come to fruition was amazing.

I also love the humour, like how uptight Batman is, how dense AC is (I agree re that actor), and superfast jerking off? lmao!

Excellent work. I'm really glad I found this and spent a very nice Saturday afternoon reading it. :)

One of my favourite things is getting new feedback on an old story. There's something really wonderful about knowing that people are still finding your work and wanting to read it.

And when the feedback is as complimentary as this one is, it makes my day. I'm thrilled I could give you some substantial Clark/Oliver - I know how frustrating it is to find very little fic about a desired pairing, especially when what there is tends to be flocked - and I'm very happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for telling me! (Oh, and I'm in love with your icon.)

Thank you. I've written a few Clark/Oliver fics, but they're not a pairing I write regularly; I think it's because most of the time the show is so painful to watch I can't make it through an entire episode these days. LOL

Oh, this was amazingly fun! And hot! And nicely angsty in some spots. *grin*

I look at it like this, seeing as you're so adamant about their being a Bruce/Clark. (In this story, I don't really get that... I get that Clark is intrigued in a nebulous sort of way with the puzzle that is Batman, and Batman is, despite himself, charmed by Clark and as one commenter said, it could be the beginning of that very close canon best friendship.) Anyway... Clark with Ollie is sort of like the first, heady, so deep and full of emotion relationship that you hear about people having during their year or two in France. *LOL* Do you know what I mean? The relationship that devours one but ultimately burns too brightly to last past a certain length of time, but always makes one smile wistfully in reminiscence as the years go on.

I loved it!

Thank you! I'm still proud of this one, especially since I had nothing plotted out in advance and no real idea of where I was going with it. I have a Bruce/Clark sequel in the works, with a tiny bit of it written down, and I hope someday (soon) to acquire the motivation to sit down and write it.

The Bruce/Clark was never intended to be in the fic, but tmelange saw it and then I saw it, and then I got the idea for a sequel and... well, we'll see what happens.

Glad you liked it, though. (And thank you so very much for all your amazing comments. They mean a lot.)

I have had such a wonderful time reading your fics throughout my Christmas vacation. I had the tab open to your Fandom page for the longest time, but never enough time to actually sit down and READ.

So it's been quite the joy to spend my mornings with a cup of coffee - or three - and your stories. I love your writer's voice; the way you string the words together, the things you let the words say and the things you let them suggest. I love the way you capture the characters we all know and love so well; keeping them honest and true. And you've made me laugh aloud on many occasions sometimes just from pure delight at what I'm reading.

And I thank you for being instrumental in the return of my own muses. They'd "fucked off to Rio" as we say in rockfic land. For the past couple of years, I'd been unable to write anything about my favorite boys other than drabbles and even those were few and far between. Your Dick, Bruce, Ollie, Clark, Tim et al have convinced my boys to come home. *grin* I'm almost 4000 words into a fic with my OTP and it shows no signs of stopping.

I've added you to my flist (and please, don't worry about having to do the same!) to keep tabs an someone who's become one of my favorite fanfic authors in any fandom.

Thank you for sharing your gift, Kay. :)

*blushes fiercely* Well, may I just say that you have absolutely made my week with all your praise? What a great start to the new year, and here's hoping it stirs my own recently reluctant muses, as it did yours. (Congrats, by the way, on your new fic. I'm not in the rockfic world, but I'm always happy to have new readers, and I'll have to check out your journal when I have some time, anyway.)

I just want to thank you for everything you've said and every comment you've left. They are extremely welcome at a time when my own confidence in my skills as a writer has been sadly lacking, so I'm hoping it will be just the boost my creative juices are so desperately needing.

Thanks, again.

WOW, just wow! Here I am again in my continuing pursuit of Clark/Ollie fic, going through ALL of [livejournal.com profile] ollieville in search of quality fic, and here you are with these gems!! No wonder you won best story...

I am out of breath literally after getting through all 6 parts and Epilogue in one shot, red eyes and all, I finished at 3:30 AM!! It reads exactly as thoughts rambling one after another in one's mind, at a crazy pace, thanks to your excellent prose.

Thank you so much! The only thing I regret about writing this fic is the part where I demonized Lois a bit. Wish I hadn't done that. Still, live and learn, right? And live to fic another day.
