Clark opened his eyes and smiled as he looked into the brown eyes of his wife. Ziva returned his smile, both enjoying the comfort of the other lying beside them.
"So where do you want to go today?" Clark asked and Ziva laughed. It was a question Clark had taken to asking her after they had spent two days in Egypt; as a sort of combined wedding gift Oliver and Bruce had given them keys to one of their vacation homes in each major country around the world, telling them to use it as they pleased.
So that was what the newlyweds did, typically spending four or five days in each country before going on to the next one. Gibbs had told them to take three months off, saying they had earned it after dealing with Darksied.
"I hear Brazil is lovely this time of year" Ziva told him, kissing him on the lips between each word. He smirked before he began to kiss her back, knowing they could get to Brazil in seconds if they wanted to, even without Ziva having his powers. She had to give them up after they dealt with Darksied since Jor-El had told her that humans couldn't handle the strain that came with having Kryptonian powers for an extended period of time. If they kept the abilities for too long their bodies would give out and they would die.
However Clark had barely begun to kiss her back when his phone rang. He swore, but when he saw it was Gibbs he knew something was wrong because his boss would only call him if it was an emergency. He answered the phone and in seconds his face had gone from one of mild worry to rage and it took everything he had not to crush the phone.
"Are you sure about this boss? Alright, bye"
"I am guessing our plans for Brazil will have to wait?" Ziva asked, noting the fury on Clark's face. Clark nodded tersely before speaking, anger clear in every word he spoke.
"Lex has escaped"
He didn't have to say anything else; ten minutes later they were walking through the doors of NCIS headquarters where Gibbs stood waiting for them.
"What the hell happened?" Clark asked, not even bothering to greet his boss.
"This was taken at 2347 last night" Gibbs told him as McGee pulled up a video feed from Lex's cell which was located in NCIS headquarters. The video was a video of Lex asleep, his head towards the wall.
"What're you getting at Gibbs?" Clark asked.
"When I went in this morning, all I found was a dead body"
"Then why do you think he escaped?" Ziva asked.
"Because Mrs. Kent" Ducky said using her married name as he exited the elevator. "the dead body in our departed friend's cell was a clone"
"Are you sure Ducky?" Mcgee asked him and the medical examiner nodded.
"That room is on 24-hour surveillance, how is it possible that Lex escaped?" Clark asked, afraid of the likely answer.
"There were only a handful of people who knew about Lex being held here" Gibbs trailed off.
"Which means there's a traitor in NCIS" Clark finished.
