Here's hoping it can all come together! *crosses fingers* Thank you!

“Well,” said Clark, “if it is, at least we’ll fall together.”

That line says it all!! Loved it!

That line made me really happy when it came to me! Clark is not usually one to fall, is he, so it's almost strange to hear...

“This is Clark Kent,” said Bruce.
“Ah,” said Ted. “Wow, you carry yourself really different out of the ring. I wouldn’t have even recognized you. Nice.”
:D :D

“It must be frustrating,” said Bruce. “Holding matches in warehouses for twenty people. What if you had a chance to set up in a state-of-the-art facility, working formally with the DCW? A combination school/promotion, where you train promising young wrestlers and teach them the business, get them ready for the big time?”
Nice! :)

“This is Kryptonite,” he announced. The audience gasped and murmured. “I brought it here because I know you won’t use it against me.”
WOW

His fingers fell upon the little metal box Superman had brought to the ring.
Oh my gosh...

A look of something close to horror clenched his jaw, and with a sudden, jerky motion he hurled it away from himself, out of the ring.
Ufff

“I’ll go get the ice,” said Bruce.
“You, me, and a lot of ice,” said Clark. “Sounds like a perfect post-match evening.”
Yes! :)

“Well,” said Clark, “if it is, at least we’ll fall ( ... )

Ahhhhhg, poor Bruce! Well, poor Dark Knight, I suppose, Bruce is having way too much fun with this storyline and finally getting to be in a feud against Clark and work with him again! He's enjoying bringing the angst--and the ice, later!

Ahhh, only a few more chapters to go, I think! I MUST GET CLARK THE CHAMPIONSHIP SOMEHOW.

“Tom! I’m never putting you in a match until you learn to not step back when you come up out of a roll! You show him again, Yolanda.” There was the sound of a body hitting a mat. “See? Even a pretty dame like Yolanda knows you gotta step forward with your left foot! Why can’t you get it? I swear to God, sometimes I wonder if you’re really mine.”

Eeeeeeee! All of the Wildcats!

this is Bruce Smith, one of my best pupils from way back when. Though I see you’re going by ‘Bruce Wayne’ now,” he said to Bruce, “That’s a clever gimmick there.”

Hee!

He held out his hand to Clark, and Clark felt himself freeze. Ted Grant--Wildcat--was one of his first favorite wrestlers from his childhood, and even though he’d met plenty of huge names now, around some of them he still felt himself turn back into an awkward, tongue-tied child. He resisted the urge to wipe his hand on his pants leg, and shook hands with his hero ( ... )

I loved writing a trio of Wildcats! :D

The whole "coming together" thing really is drawn right from canon right now, so it's awesome to have a nice clear example right there (short of ousting the bad boss, but all the "finding old wrestlers and bright new wrestlers and bringing them together in a state of the art facility" is right there).

And poor Batman! Hmmm, I have to think about if I can use some elements from the movie in the next few chapters. *grin* Bruce should have a massive Kryptonite spear or something! :D

“How dare I?” Clark almost laughed in disbelief. “How dare I worry about the safety of my partner--my partner who, by the way, broke his neck not too long ago? Like hell I’m letting you take the impact of that--and you know what? If you’ve got a problem with that, you can just find another person to feud with, Bruce.”

Bruce glared at him for a moment. Then he smiled, and the tension left his shoulders. “Well,” he said. “It looked great, didn’t it?”

Bruce! Clark! *hearts them both*

“Very,” said Bruce. He waited a beat. “The welt is fairly spectacular as well.”

Bruce.

“‘The side project’ was how Bruce referred to a Byzantine system of grids, graphs, and time tables that Clark found frankly baffling. “It’s all very complicated,” was all Bruce said when Clark asked. “I’ve got an M.A. in economics. Just trust me, it’s coming together.”

Clark wasn’t sure when Bruce would have found time to get a master’s degree in anything when working as a wrestler--but on the other hand, somehow he didn’t doubt him.

Bruce! *hearts him*

“It’s ( ... )

I love your "Bruce." there, lol. He's so ridiculous at times! And eeee, writing them arguing about who's going to protect whom in the ring and Bruce's complex plans! I cannot wait until they finally come together...
