Unwanted Alliance
Supergirl!sophia x Wayne!reader
"Every super needs their bat, but you end up with an unlikely pair"
You mind your own business, stay out of the Bat-family crime fighting circus, and thrive in Gotham just fine- Until Bruce Wayne decides you're the perfect person to train Sophia Clark, superman's smug, over achieving daughter. Now you're stuck monitoring a Kryptonian who thinks she's better than everyone, in a city that eats heroes.

Gotham City never really slept. It only shifted moodsβfrom the daylight masquerade of polished shoes and business suits to the midnight crawl of whispers and sirens. For you, it was home. Chaotic, flawed, and yours. You werenβt a Bat. You werenβt even one of the shadows that trailed beside him. You were Bruce Wayneβs middle childβtoo independent to join the family business of nocturnal violence, too stubborn to be just another Wayne in the tabloids
But even from a distance, you were close with your siblings. You knew their secrets, covered their bruises, and made excuses when the press sniffed too close. You stayed out of the caves and gadgets, but the Bat-familyβs world never truly left you alone.
Tonight proved just that.
The gala at Wayne Tower had been another exercise in pretending. You wore your motherβs old diamond earrings, your fatherβs polite smile, and your own brand of quiet rebellionβa sleek black dress that cut sharper than any Batarang. Youβd just escaped a conversation with a snooty investor when you saw her.
Sophia Clark.
Supermans daughter.
You didnβt need the headlines to recognize her. She had that same impossible glow about herβthe kind that made everyone else in the room fade to gray. Raven hair swept perfectly over her shoulder, deep eyes that looked carved out of a Kryptonian glacier, and a smile that seemed to mock you without even trying.
She wasnβt supposed to be here. Not in Gotham. Not in your city.
βWayne,β she greeted, her voice warm and condescending all at once. βDidnβt expect to see you hiding out here. Thought you preferred the comfort of your fatherβs tower.β
You raised your glass, not bothering to hide the distaste in your tone. βDidnβt expect you here either, El. Whatβs the Metropolis golden girl doing in Gotham? Get bored saving cats from trees?β
Her lips twitched, almost smiling. βCute. Iβm actually here for work. But I guess you wouldnβt know what thatβs like.β
You felt the jab landβa familiar sting. Everyone knew you werenβt part of the Bat-familyβs hero club. It was a choice, but people like Sophia never saw it that way. To them, you were the privileged Wayne who watched from the sidelines.
βYeah, I wouldnβt,β you said coolly, stepping closer. βSome of us donβt need to throw ourselves off rooftops to prove a point.β
Sophia tilted her head, eyes scanning you the way her father probably looked at villains. βSome of us donβt hide from what we are.β
The words hung thereβheavy, deliberate, cruel. You stared at her, your pulse tightening. You hated the way she looked at you, like she already had you figured out. Like sheβd decided you were fragile, useless, soft.
βMust be exhausting,β you said finally, forcing a smirk. βBeing so perfect all the time.β
Her smile turned sharp. βYouβd be surprised how easy it is when you actually are.β
You opened your mouth to fire back, but a sudden shift in the air made your skin prickleβa familiar weight settling over the room before you could place it. A presence youβd known all your life, sharp and steady, brushed against you. Then the heavy, controlled footsteps follow, each one deliberate, practiced, unmistakably belonging to someone who never needed to announce himself. And when he finally stepped into view, the presence solidifiedβBruce Wayne entering the space like a shift in gravity itself. Even without looking, you could feel himβyour fatherβs presence always arrived a second before he did.
He wasnβt loud, he didnt need to be. Power clung to him in every way. The tailored black suit, the subtle glint of his cufflinks, the sharpness in his eyesβhe looked every bit the billionaire the city worshipped and the vigilante the criminals feared. And beneath it all, that familiar scent reached you: expensive cologne softened by warm leather and cool steel, a scent youβd known since childhood. A scent that meant safety, command, and warning all at once.
Bruceβs gaze flicked between you and Sophia, assessing, calculating, already three steps ahead of a conversation that hadnβt even begun yet. His voice didnβt need volume to take control.
Bruceβs gaze landed on Sophia first, his sternness easing by a fraction. βSophia. Iβm glad you made it.β
She straightened subtlyβas if even Supermanβs daughter felt the weight of his approval. βThank you for inviting me, Mr. Wayne.β
Their exchange was smooth and polite. You watched it with a tightening jaw. They spoke brieflyβformal pleasantries, mutual respect, nothing out of placeβyet it felt like the floor was shifting under you.
Then Bruce turned to you.
And just like that, the softness vanished.
βI asked Sophia to be here tonight for a reason,β he said, voice low but final. βI need a favour from you.β
Your stomach dropped. βA favour?β
He nodded once. βSheβll be operating in Gotham for the next few months. Metropolis wants her exposed to our methods, and I want someone I trust to guide her. You.β
Your breath caught. βYou want me to train her?β
βItβs not optional.β His tone left no room for argument. βWeβll discuss the details later. Not here.β
You couldnβt make a sceneβnot at a gala, not with hundreds waiting for a crack in the Wayne faΓ§adeβso you swallowed your shock, your frustration, and your pride.
You nod meekly, βyes fatherβ venom threatening to slip into your tone, but you knew better.
Bruce gave you one last firm look, then nodded to Sophia with that rare, respectful acknowledgement he reserved for people he saw potential in. And just like that, he walked offβleaving the two of you standing in the echo of the decision heβd made for you.
The moment he was out of earshot, Sophia exhaled sharply. βWell. That couldβve gone worse.β
You snapped your head toward her. βReally? Because from my view, it went perfectly awfullyβ
Sophia raised an eyebrow. βItβs not that dramatic.β
βNot thatβ?β You nearly scoffed. βYouβre getting forced into my city, into my space, and Iβm apparently your new babysitter. I think βdramaticβ is appropriate.β
She folded her arms and tilted her head with that familiar scowl she reserved for you only. βFor the record, I donβt need a babysitter.β
βGreat,β you shot back. βTell that to my dad.β
Sophia rolled her eyes. βLook, I didnβt ask for this either.β
βOh, Iβm sure you hate being assigned to Gotham, the one city that doesnβt swoon the second a Kryptonian shows up.β
Her jaw tightened. βYouβre unbelievable.β
βYouβre infuriating.β
Sophia stepped closer, lowering her voice. βIβm here to do actual work. I donβt know what youβre here to do besides glare at me and complain.β
You scoffed. βI was here to enjoy one night not dealing with hero nonsense, but clearly that was too much to ask.β
Sophiaβs lips curved into a slow, irritating smirk. βYou knowβ¦ for someone whoβs not in the field, you make an impressive amount of noise.β
Your eyes narrowed. βAnd for someone who thinks sheβs perfect, you talk an impressive amount of crap.β
For a moment, the two of you just glaredβheat simmering, irritation sparking, the kind of tension that could topple buildings if either of you pushed hard enough.
Sophia finally sighed. βLook. We should at least try not to kill each other before training starts.β
You forced a tight smile. βSure. Iβll pencil that inβright between βscream internallyβ and βmove to a different planet.ββ
Despite herself, Sophia snorted. βYouβre ridiculous.β
βAnd youβre in my way,β you muttered, brushing past her.
She didnβt move. βSee you tomorrow, Wayne.β
The way she said your name made your pulse spikeβfor reasons you refused to examine.
You kept walking.
You signed up to be a lawyer and Wayne successor not a supesitter. But you knew going against your father wouldnβt be smart, especially when you knew he owned everything you aspired to uphold
You really needed that rooftop run.
Later that night, you were out on a rooftop run with Dick and Jasonβyour usual escape whenever the world felt too heavy to swallow.
The Gotham skyline stretched around you, sharp and cold against the midnight air. Dick ran ahead in that obnoxious, graceful way he always did, flipping over a vent like it was nothing. Jason jogged beside you, mask off, helmet clipped to his belt, cigarette tucked behind his ear because he promised he βwasnβt smoking tonight.β
You didnβt even get two rooftops in before Jason groaned.
βAlright,β he said, hands on his hips. βSpit it out. Youβve been stomping like you want the roof to file a complaint.β The sass in his tone would usually agitate you, but you had worse things that poked at you tonight.
Dick glanced back with a knowing grin. βLet me guessβDad did something?β
You scoffed loudly. βOh, did he ever.β
Jason snorted. βCalled it.β
You launched into it before the irritation could fester any deeper and before their pestering and teasing led to an inevitable fist fight.
βHe invited Sophia to the gala.β
Dick blinked. βSupermanβs kid?β
Jason made a face of pure disgust mixed with a tinge of joy at your annoyance. βThe dark haired one who looks like she judges people for breathing too loud?β
βYES,β you snapped, throwing your arms up. βHer.β
Jason doubled over laughing so hard he nearly tripped. βOh, this is already good.β
Dick leaned in like he was settling in for a bedtime story. Atleast he had some manners to read the room βWhat happened?β
You clenched your jaw. βHe wants me to train her.β
Both men froze mid-step, almost giving themselves whiplash from turning at such speed.
Jason actually choked. βHe WHAT?β
Dick slapped a hand over his mouth, eyes wide in utter disbelief. βYou? Train Sophia, THE LITTLE MISS PERFECT SUPERSUCCESOR?β
You groaned, dragging your hands down your face. βYES. Apparently Metropolis wants her exposed to βGotham methods,β and Dad wants someone he βtrustsβ to guide her.β You mimicked Bruceβs voice with extra gravel. βItβs not optional.β
Jason doubled over laughing. βThis is the funniest thing thatβs ever happened to me.β
βJay,β Dick warned through a laugh of his own, βbe nice.β
βWhy?!β Jason wheezed. βOur sister is being forced to babysit a Kryptonian princess with an ego problem! This is poetic justice.β
You shoved him lightly. βI hate all of you.β
Dick slung an arm around your shoulders. βItβs not that bad. She canβt be that annoying.β His attempt to lighten your mood faltered as you hear Jason continuing his assault on your ears with his absurd laughter.
You looked at him dead in the eyes. βDick. She breathes like she owns oxygen.β
Jason made a strangled noise- now almost lying on the dirty rooftop. βIβm dyingβkeep going.β
βAnd she said I βwouldnβt know what work was like.ββ
Both brothers stopped again. This time looking at you with the kind of seriousness youβd have to beat out of them during batfam meetings.
Dick blinked slowly- trying to ensure he heard you correctly. βShe said what?β His tone was now rid of its playfulness.
Jason added onto the tense atmosphere cracking his knuckles. βOkay. I take it back. Weβre jumping her.β The movement made you cringe, but you appreciated the thought behind it at least.
You groaned again. βNo one is jumping anyone. I justβ¦ I canβt believe Iβm stuck with her for months.β
Dick squeezed your shoulders reassuringly, his tone softening. βWho knows? Maybe itβll go better than you think.β
Jason smirked. βOr maybe youβll kill her.β
βlittle wing.β
βWhat? Iβm being supportive.β He scoffed- shoving dick halfway off the rooftop βand stop fucking calling me that shitβ
βWHAT? You took up my place as robin so be proud, little bitchβ The chaos erupting right beside you faded into the distance as you continued your feet's assault on the Gotham rooftops in thought.
You sighed, staring out at the cityβyour city. The place you loved, the place she was about to invade.
This was going to be hell. It wouldnβt be long before the rest of the batcave or wayne siblings found out about the personal hell Bruce set out for you.
And your brothers? They were going to enjoy every second of it.
