Summary
The words on his skin were his everything. After everything he'd seen, done and been through, they were a reminder that Bruce Wayne still existed. That somewhere there was a person who would love him despite the coldness in his chest and the scars that roped their way across his skin. A reminder that he wasn't alone - that he wasn't destined to live forever in the shadows, silent and isolated. That somewhere out there was the other half of his soul.
He just wasn't expecting the other half of his soul to be an alien.

Summary
Kara huffs out a breath in frustration. “Every Kryptonian has a heartsong. And they’re beautiful, but when you listen to one on its own it feels like something is missing. It’s like...they have something like this too, right?” She gestures outward impatiently, and Bruce forces himself not to flinch at her casual use of they. “Only they have words written down instead.”
“Soulmates,” Clark says, his voice strained.
The word hits Bruce like a bullet through the lung. He keeps his face perfectly relaxed, his heartbeat calm and regular, as he realizes (too late, he's always too late) that he should have expected this all along.

Summary
Kryptonian soulmarks weren't full names above the heart, like those on humans. They got symbols on their wrist meant to represent the person they were meant to love. Clark doesn't understand what the stylized bat on his wrist could possibly mean until he sees Batman for the first time-- but Batman has someone else's name.
Or, Clark and Bruce are soulmates. They are also both convinced their soulmate bond is unrequited. Title taken from "The Hurtin' Kind" by Orville Peck

Summary
"We have brought you here as a final appeal to the being called Super-man, Kal-El of Krypton, in hopes that your presence will induce him to hear our plea for aid in our dispute with the Khigezxans. Please understand you are in no danger here, and you will be kept in comfort and privilege in concession to your status as Kal-El’s soulmate.” Uraa pauses and looks at him a little nervously, awaiting his response.
Bruce blinks at them. “Excuse me,” he says, finally. “I think your translator must be malfunctioning. Kal-El’s what?”

Summary
Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet, is clearly just Superman wearing glasses. For some reason, no-one but Bruce can see that.
There is a distinct possibility that Bruce has lost his mind.
