Chapter 1
Felicit rushed through the doors of the Daily Planet. "Smoak, you are NOT going to be late on your first day." SMACK. She walked straight into a brick wall, spilling her coffee, scattering her papers, and knocking her to the ground.
"I'm sorry" wait, the wall was talking? "I didn't see you and I accidentally knocked you over."
Felicity squinted up, what she had previously thought was a wall was actually a person, a very tall person.
"It's okay. I wasn't paying attention. You're hard…not hard like erection hard, hard like I thought you were a wall hard. Which isn't a bad thing, you obviously spend a lot of time working out in order to get so…I should probably stop using the word hard."
The man seemed bemused by her ramble. Reaching down he handed her her glasses. Oh no, Felicity thought, he's cute.
"My name's actually Clark" he said "but thanks for the compliment."
"I said the last part out loud didn't I?" Felicity winced.
"I take it that happens a lot?" Clark smiled.
"Yeah, especially when I'm nervous. It's my first day here. I actually just moved to Metropolis and today is my first day at work. Do you know where the security office is? I need to sign some papers and get a badge."
"Security's on the second floor. What department are you-"
"KENT." An angry voice sounded across the lobby, "Stop flirting with interns and get your ass upstairs. There are deadlines to meet." Clark shook his head. "That's Perry, my boss. I've got to go." Handing her the last of the fallen papers, he helped us to her feet. "Have a good first day Ms….?"
"Smoak, Felicity Smoak."
"I'm Clark Kent. Welcome to the Daily Planet."
