Adriane was waiting in the lobby around noon the next day, waiting for Lois Lane. Lois had sent somebody over to let her know that she would be around at this time to bring her to Superman. Adriane couldn't wait to meet him. She had looked him up but, all the photographs she had found were blurry. This meant that she hadn't a clue what he looked like in person.

Adriane lit up when she spotted Lois strolling in and watched as she looked around before seeing her. Lois nodded to her and walked over. "Good afternoon Adriane, are you prepared to go?" Lois asked with a grin.

Adriane nodded with a smile, "You bet I am! Let's go please." Adriane was bouncing slightly and was clearly forcing herself to stay on the ground, which caused Lois to giggle amused. "Alright, follow me."

Lois led Adriane to her apartment, clarifying that it would be safer than other places. As soon as they walked in Lois ushered her into the living room and told her to wait a couple of minutes before she left the room. Lois came back a few minutes later with a tall man that Adriane knew right away was superman. Adriane also thought he looked like someone else and as soon as she realized who he looked like she gasped. "Bruce Wayne?"

Superman paused before snorting, "No-No I'm not Bruce Wayne, got to say that's the first time someone mistook me for him while in the suit."

Lois was laughing in her hand, she was so glad she had cameras in her apartment, she couldn't wait to show Bruce this. He would be so put out that someone mistook superman for him.

He was always complaining that the way Clark hid who he was outside the mask was stupid and that anyone with a brain would figure it out. Lois did agree that just wearing glasses to hide your identity was kind of dumb. Especially since he sometimes wrote articles on Superman, that meant that his picture would be in the paper very close to a picture of superman.

Lois was honestly a bit surprised that more people didn't realize who Clark was. She was also embarrassed that she had never realized it despite having plenty of interactions with him, both in and out of the suit.

Not to mention, she had dated superman before she ever even thought of getting with Clark. It made things a little awkward when she finally learned who Clark was.

"Sorry, you just look a lot like him." Adriane blushed embarrassed, she should have realized it wasn't Bruce. Thanks to her inheritance test she got back when this all happened she knew that Bruce was human and not a Kryptonian like superman was.

Superman just chuckled at her apology, "No need, it's fine I do look a bit like Bruce." Adriane made a mental note that Superman didn't call Bruce, Mr. Wayne, Bruce Wayne, or even just Wayne. He used only his first name. Adriane didn't know much about how people were in the USA but in the UK where she was from, people mostly used your last name if you weren't friendly with the person.

"Now, Lois tells me that you wanted to speak to me?"

Adriane nodded, "Yes sir, I have some important things to tell you but I'm guessing you would like to have my blood tested before we do anything else?"

Lois spoke up after Adriane was done speaking, "How about we listen to what you have to say and then take your blood?"

Adriane shrugged, "That works."

Lois gestured to the couch, "How about we all sit down, I have a feeling that this story will be quiet the tale."

Adriane just laughed at that, the laugh was slightly bitter which was something both adults noticed, "Oh, it is a very long tale."

After they all sat down and Lois got them all a cup of water Adriane started her tale.

"Please don't interupt me, you can ask me questions when I'm finished but this is going to be hard enough talking about it without interuptions." Adriane was staring at the ground so she didn't see the concerned looks passed between the two adults sitting on the couch with her.
