Summer in Smallville

Summary:

Bruce Wayne, a young Omega, travels to Smallville for the summer with a single mission: to investigate LuthorCorp’s illegal activities.

There’s evidence linking the company to secret experiments involving meteorite fragments—the same green rocks that fell on Smallville years ago… and that are now being used in Gotham’s underground labs, where people vanish without a trace.

With the help of his butler and Alpha guardian, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce settles into a small house on the edge of town. He doesn’t plan to stay for more than a month. He doesn’t trust anyone. He doesn’t expect this case to be any different from the others.

But then there’s Clark Kent—an Alpha who seems far too curious… and far too stubborn to leave him alone.

Bruce tries to ignore him, but Clark starts following him, watching him, scenting him.
Instinct betrays him. Desire tempts him.

Amid the secrets of a quiet town and the growing tension between them, Bruce knows this will be a summer neither of them will ever forget.

Inspired by the series Smallville (2001) and Gotham (2014).

Chapter 1: Important notes and dedications

Chapter Text

💫 Hi there! 💕

I’ve been wanting to do something related to two series I absolutely love: Gotham (2014) and Smallville (2001).

I’m watching the last seasons of Smallville a bit slowly—life gets busy—but I’m fascinated by how both shows portray Bruce and Clark in their teenage versions.

They inspired me so much that they gave me more ideas for my fanfic “Just Another Cliché Story.”
(I know, I know… not the most original title—I’m terrible at titles and summaries… honestly, at everything—but I’m really fond of my stories anyway 💕).

Even though the two series are so different and came out years apart, I wanted to connect them. I love imagining what would happen if this Bruce and this Clark met… and what if something sparked between them?

There isn’t much content that connects these particular versions, so I decided to make my own.
This fanfic is Omegaverse, an idea that actually came from my best friend, who encouraged me to add that dynamic to make things even more interesting.

Because, let’s be honest—Smallville’s Clark loves intensely. He’s sweet, protective, and passionate. As an Alpha, being near Bruce throws him completely off balance.
Meanwhile, Gotham’s Bruce is cold, arrogant, and distant—not out of cruelty, but because his pain forced him to build walls. Yet when Clark enters his life, those walls slowly start to crumble.

If you haven’t seen the shows, I highly recommend both! Personally, I enjoyed Gotham more for its darker tone and amazing villains, but Smallville definitely has—at least for me—the best live-action Clark Kent.
(Yes, Clark Kent, not Superman). His journey from discovering his powers to becoming the hero we all know is just so well written.

In this story, Clark is already on his way to becoming Superman, while Bruce is just beginning the path that will lead him to become Batman.
Both keep the essence of their series, but within a world shaped by my own Omegaverse twist.

You could technically say the story takes place between Season 4 of Smallville and Season 5 of Gotham, though I’m not following either show’s canon too strictly—it’s more of a reference point to set the mood and timeline.

It’s a short story, but one made with a lot of love—and it’s dedicated to my best friend, Des, who’s always been there for me, supporting my projects, looking after my emotional well-being, and making me laugh with her silliness.
I love you. Thank you for being my big sister in this life. 💕

I hope you enjoy this fanfic as much as I’m enjoying writing it.
As always, I’d love to read your comments, thoughts, theories—or even your complaints (lovingly, of course).

Thank you so much for reading. 🦇🌿
