Summary
Bruce Wayne has no problem being Matches Malone to get the job done, but sometimes his job turns out to include rescuing Clark from the various dangers of being too wholesome in Gotham at night. He's a walking trouble magnet, and of course Bruce will pull him out of trouble, so long as Clark doesn't blow his cover. Wait...Clark does know that Matches is a cover, right?

Summary
An additional scene for @mild-and-hammered's 'Pretty Reporters are Always in Need of Saving'. This will make more sense if you read that first, but can be read alone.
Matches Malone saved Clark, but surely the goody-two-shoes reporter doesn't think his payment is only a kiss?

Summary
Clark Kent, a fresh MIT graduate and Gotham Racing's newest race engineer, thought the hardest part of his job would be the physics calculations and tire strategies. He was wrong. The hardest part is Bruce Wayne.
When Bruce's shameless flirting over the radio comms leads to a night that changes everything, Clark discovers that some crashes happen off the track, too.

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
Clark Kent meets Matches Malone while working on a story, and the pair hit it off almost immediately. Meanwhile, Superman is getting established as a hero, and slowly becoming friends with Batman. Bruce just wants to figure out if he can maintain three separate identities, raise a kid, and keep his reporter boyfriend somewhat in the dark. It's a three-way double-blind secret identity scramble.
