You couldn't resist killing someone could you? XP Lol, but anyway, great chapter! Though now I'm worried as to how much older Bruce is in comparison to Clark! Not his kidself, but when he was an adult?

Rawr! Death and destruction! Doom and gloom! Rawr!

But I seriously think that killing off bad guys (or girls) shouldn't count. LOL

>>Though now I'm worried as to how much older Bruce is in comparison to Clark!

Clark is right now seventeen, a senior in high school. Bruce is 24, about to turn 25, and was one year or so into being Batman when he was kidnapped.

Thanks for reading and commenting, wachey. You really did help me with this story, though it may not end up resembling what we discussed exactly. LOL

How much do I love where this is going? SO much. I particularly like that Clark stays with Bruce and holds him and is there for him when he wakes up. This fic already makes me want to whimper with joy. It seems like such a happy place to be. I understand why you're writing it now.

And thank you, by the way, for updating it so quickly. Such joy, I simply cannot tell you.

I really did want to write something a little lighter. This story might not have as much to recommend it as far as the writing style goes, but I do think the plot will be fun, and a nice change from the angst. :)

Thanks for reading, Kay! You are a doll! :hugs:

Oh, poor Bruce! Having to deal with his grief at the loss of his parents without knowing exactly what he's dealing with...it must have been very intense. And Clark staying by his side was perfect.

I somehow think you can't have a Bruce without at least a little bit of the dead parents angst, LOL, or, at least that's what I've learned from the DC writers. (maybe it's just a bad habit I'm developing, *g*)

Thanks for reading and commenting, Jen. I really do appreciate it. :)

Oh, Clark saved Bruce, didn't he! I loved that their first encounter was Clark rescuing Bruce from the tornado (though of course Bruce doesn't know that yet)

You made me enjoy this though I usually prefer Clark to be the one hurt/amnesic. lol A Bruce in a kid's body but with the mind of an adult will be an interesting character to read about. I'm looking forward to his interaction with Clark. I hope the Kents don't make Clark jealous by loving Bruce too much! (And btw, the Kents seriously need to build a guest room so poor Clark doesn't always get kicked out of his. lol )

I'm loving the unusual concept of this story! I can't wait to read the next part!

>>I loved that their first encounter was Clark rescuing Bruce from the tornado

I love the tornado device, and I was thinking about that Lana tornado scene at the end of season...one? Where he rescues her from the car spinning in the air? But, of course, better for it to be Bruce. LOL

>>You made me enjoy this though I usually prefer Clark to be the one hurt/amnesic.

It's hard for me to hurt Clark! I love him too much! LOL

>>I hope the Kents don't make Clark jealous by loving Bruce too much!

I think Clark will be in love with Bruce too. Who wouldn't love such a cute character. :)

>>And btw, the Kents seriously need to build a guest room so poor Clark doesn't always get kicked out of his. lol

You would think they'd have more than 2 bedrooms in that house...but it's so much easier to dump everyone on Clark. LOL

Thanks for reading and commenting, Carol. I love your perspective and your comments always make me smile. :))

Ahh, this is just getting better and better! I love the feeling of depth this has--your writing just makes it all seem so real. Especially with all the little humanizing touches you give to Bruce--the finicky stomach, trusting the man who ushers him backstage, falling asleep in the car! (LOL). You do such a good job of writing Bruce as competent and skilled, but as a man who can still make mistakes just like anybody else. And I really liked Alfred in the beginning, too, the way he was just everywhere with the towels and the clothes and the food, while still managing to be very unobtrusive at the same time.

And the detail about Bruce trying to figure out how to balance his playboy identity while protecting his family name was great, and very touching. It reminded me a lot of Begins Bruce.

And this line just cracked me up:

A person with freckles should not be engaged in kidnapping, adult-napping…kidnapping, whatever,LOL. Oh, but they turned him into a KID! It's all starting to make sense now. No wonder Clark is so

>> You do such a good job of writing Bruce as competent and skilled, but as a man who can still make mistakes just like anybody else.

Thank you! I was trying for a more grounded Bruce Wayne here, someone more like a normal person. LOL

>>It reminded me a lot of Begins Bruce.

I was thinking the same thing...which is a little scary because I don't necessarily love Begins Bruce. LOL

>>You do a great job of writing action-y scenes!

I have a habit sometimes of spending too much time on the action, which I didn't want to do here. I wanted to keep it moving, figuring that most people want the relationship scenes and could care less about the villains. LOL

Thanks for reading and commenting, Christine. I really appreciate it. :hugs:
