Disclaimer: Smallville and Batman Begins and its characters aren’t mine. I only write fan fiction for fun and entertainment.
A/N: This was actually my first try at the crossover of Batman with Smallville. And this was actually intended to be just a one-shot. But popular demand made this into a short series.
A/N2: Ok, so I was thinking, what if… Lois tried to set her cousin up with a strange guy, only for Chloe to end up with a totally different guy…

Of blind dates and ‘accidental’ dates
“Oh thank god you’re still here!” she exclaimed. Her hair looked wild as if the winds had kicked it around outside. Without waiting for him to reply, she took the chair opposite his herself and sat down smiling sweetly at him. “I know I’m late, sorry! I am just sooo thankful that you are still here!”
Bruce was a little confused. He had just been reading the card and was about to order something when a pretty blond woman started talking to him, like she knew him. But he didn’t know her, because he was sure that he’d remember a girl like the one currently sitting in front of him now. She didn’t look like someone you forgot.
“No problem” he replied smoothly, without really knowing how to continue to proceed. “I was about to order” he stated. He was vaguely thinking that she might have the wrong person. Maybe she usually wore glasses and had today taken them off, because that would explain her not even realising that he wasn’t who she thought he might be.
“Sure, just order away. I’ll have anything you’ll have” she said with a shrug of her shoulder, making her hair bounce as her head moved with the gesture.
Bruce couldn’t help but be amused by her antics. While ordering their food he kept looking over the menu card to glance at her. She looked like she had run through a storm and back; her nose was a little pink from the weather outside and her cheeks were flushed. She was warming her hands by rubbing them together while smiling at him.
Bruce used this opportunity and asked “Cold?”
She smiled at him, in a way he had never seen a woman smile before. If he had to choose a word it would probably be ‘honest’. She nodded and replied “I forgot all about our date. And then Lois phoned to ask how our date was going… I left everything at the office at once and forgot to take my gloves with me…” She finished and smiled shyly at him.
“I hope you’re not angry with me. I really am sorry, you know?” she continued after a while.
“Don’t be sorry. Why would I be angry with you?” he asked. Even if he didn’t know who she was, or what she was talking about, their conversation was refreshing. She was pretty and seemed honest, not the usual gold-digging gothamian society woman. He had nothing better to do but eat all alone in his own restaurant; he might as well play along and enjoy the evening.
“Well I don’t know that many men that are still waiting for their blind date to show up after two hours!” she exclaimed and emphasised by widening her eyes and lifting both brows. Then she looked a little confused and hesitantly she continued, “Funny, Lois said you had a really weird moustache. She said you never shave it off…”
Oh, thought Bruce. That explains a lot. He watched her for another moment before sipping on his whine. He could tell her the truth, that he wasn’t really her blind date and that she had the wrong person. On the other hand, thought Bruce he could enjoy this ‘accidental’ date and make the best of it, the girl really did seem like someone he could imagine spending the rest of his life with… And what story that would make to tell his children one day…
“Well, you know Lois. She told me the thing had to come off, or you wouldn’t date me…” he said, and hoped at the same time that his bluff would go unnoticed.
Chloe stared at him for a moment before erupting in a fit of full, ringing laughter. She held her hands in front of her face, and tried to stifle the laughs. “Yeah, that sounds like Lois alright!”
Extending her hand to him over the table she went on “Chloe Sullivan, by the way. Your blind date for the evening.”
He took her hand and placed a soft kiss on it. She blushed and her eyes widened. “The name’s Bruce. Remind me to thank Lois for setting me up with you.”
That made Chloe smile even more and she nodded. She really was going to enjoy this first blind date in a new city she didn’t know yet. And besides, the man in front of her had something mysterious and enthralling to him. She should also thank Lois, she thought, for setting her up, and suggesting to get rid of the moustache. He really was a handsome man. Wow.
