CHAPTER 21 and 22
Clark made Lois stay while he fetched Jason from Jimmy's. And isn't that mind-boggling that all these times, she was staying and hiding with Jimmy? Jimmy was relieved that Lois finally get to confess her trouble with her partner and he hope Clark can help her in any way he can because Jimmy was realistic enough to know that he is not the person qualified to handle Lois's in any form.
"That's the last of her stuff?" Clark asked as they help piled Lois baggage in Jimmy's car.
"Yeah." Jimmy let Clark borrowed his car as he wheezed a reply. He was feeling the cold nipping at his extremities while Clark seemed oblivious to it dress as he was in a sweatpants and a tee. This is not the first time Jimmy had seen Clark Kent dress in something casual, nevertheless it is jarring.
"I'll carry Jason, Jimmy." Clark offer as he clasp the younger man's shoulder. Jason was still asleep inside Jimmy's apartment.
"Yeah do that." Jimmy answer quietly. "And Clark," he searched Clark's eyes, "good luck."
Clark give a small smile in return.
While he drive back to his apartment, he wonder how he can confess to Lois that he is Superman.
"You will be different, sometimes you'll feel like an outcast, but you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son." Clark mumbled before he kiss the boy's forehead and after he dropped him at Lois's side in his bed. Somehow those words become a vow that he whispered to his boy every time he tucked him in. Which is five times now. It packed the same power as the ritual of saying "always" everytime Lois asked her half vulnerable, half jaded question.
He padded back towards the living room to sleep on his couch. Only to wake up later cutting a scream in his throat as the nightmare of lifting a moutain of Kryptonite entered his dream. He remembered that he had guests and his scream morphed into a choke and then several minutes later, Clark landed or fall in Kent's farm -hyperventilating.
"W-where were you?!" Lois demanded a few hours later at the Daily Planet when she confronted Clark who was not at his apartment when she woke up.
Clark pushed his glasses back on his nose nervously. "L-lois I always woke up at the c-crack of dawn and uh," he tried to pick at the loose thread at the hem of his coat," I h-had to investigate."
Clark was lucky that he had spare suits at his mom's house also that yes he had to conduct an investigation that early morning too.
He suddenly feel guilty for leaving Lois to fend off the gossip at the office this a.m
He was shock when Lois initiate a hug there and then but before he could hug back and things get awkward. Lois had already filtered out his small notebook and a piece of paper off his inner pocket.
With a smirk, she sit down and began to nosey on his notes not even looking up as Richard White walked out Perry's office and slamming the door.
That slamming silence the crowd but soon enough an even louder buzz take place with "Lois" "Superman" and "Richard" in the equation. Clark watched the white-knuckled grip Lois had on his pen and decided something.
"L-lois, wanna help me investigate the docks for my leads?" He offer.
Lois grab that as a good excuse as any to get out of the office. Clark made sure that Richard is completely gone before he trailed after the waiting Lois by the escalator.
"Slowpoke." Lois said rolling her eyes.
Lois looked with fond annoyance as Clark put on his seatbelt as they used her car to go to the docks. "You know, " Lois said broaching the topic, "I want to thank you again for making me and Jason stay with you. I owe you so much despite the cool way I treated you when you get back, Clark. I am sorry Clark. I was just so mad at you for leaving."
"I kinda regret it too." Clark answer looking at his shoes. "I me-mean leaving y-yo- the daily planet."
"We will talk tonight and catch up!" Lois said as she briefly squeeze Clark's knee.
Clark give her a weak grin. Clark received a message beep and he pulled up his smart phone and read:
/The extra bed is already on its way. And you're welcome./
Clark barely control himself in slamming his palm on his forehead as he text Bruce Wayne back about privacy and the fact that he doesn't want any more items to send his way considering the apartment that Bruce bought and paid for, for him cost him a year of reporter's salary. Thank you very much.
Robin chuckled as he read at Batman's shoulder the sms Uncle Clark send at Batman's phone. Then he flip away from Batman to admire the display in the Batcave
"So boss-man, how long will Superman figure out that-" he stop when the Batcomputer picked up a warning on the North Pole.
"It's heading for Metropolis."
"No. It is not an it, it's a legion." Batman corrected later when the huge mass split apart and became a thousand dots on their radar.
Meanwhile, before shit hits the fan...Lois Lane and Clark Kent were trying to run away from being murdered as Lois stumble on an actual crime. "Only you Lois." Clark thought as another round of bullets slammed his back. He idly wonder how long before the gang convinced themselves that their guns are flawed or something. In the mean time, Clark tried not to wince at how Lois was screaming like a kettle before she disappear in the corner of the building. Clark took that oppprtunity to look back quickly, whipped his glasses off and aim his laser vision at the pistols of the two thugs chasing at him all in superspeed.
"What is with you a-and trouble?!!" Clark cried when they were stuck in the traffic jam. Clark was troubled by this and irritates him that he doesnt know why there's a traffic jam and so expanding his hearing he tried to eavesdrop thru radios and police scanners while at the same time vent at Lois in frustration. Superman - a man of multitasking talent.
Lois sputtered. "Y-you-"
Soon there was a slap and hair pulling fight at the back of the taxi. Clark gives as good as he gets.
"You okey?!" Clark asked later when the taxi after ordering them to get off made a sudden U-turn and left them. Lois barely get out before the taxi zoomed away.
"T-that jerk!" Lois fumed as she struggle to stand up with Clark's help.
Clark freeze and quietly said,"They're here."
Lois clueless stare at him before the sky became a pinpricks of lights as something alienish about three feet in height glowing with reddish light form in neat rows above them. They got tentacles. Wow.
Lois without thought took a snapshot of the sky and the rest who decided to get out of their cars and look. It didn't occur to them to scream or run until the alien things split into clusters and start firing.
Pandemonium breaks.
"They're looking for someone." the two screamed huddled together as they are behind a car. They watch as some of the aliens seemed to body snatch males of a certain age range while destroying buildings and killing the rest.
Clark made several unsuccessful attempt to part company with Lois but the woman was equal part stubborn and terrified to loss Clark too. "We have to get to my son, Smallville," she said,"together."
They were trying to reach the end of the jam when their luck run out. "Clark!" Lois screamed when out of the blue the alien pod grab Clark and carry him above.
"Clarkkk!"she screamed yet again, watching as Clark seemed to try to punch the alien to dropped him. What he is doing is to actually attract more alien to subdue him.
"Stop fighting!" Lois realize that, her mild mannered friend struggling means that in his effort to get away, he is only causing more pain for himself.
Lois howled as Clark became covered with several of the pods and then a red beam of laser broke the clusterfuck. The spinning blur stopped.
Lois's jaw dropped as Superman emerged from where Clark initially was. Her stream of tears stopped midflow as Superman floated down to her and wipe her tears with the back of his hand.
"I'll come back to you tonight."
In a flash, Superman was gone and he start helping the Justice League enforcement that are already on their way.
AN/ kinda not happy with the battle part if only because I know Clark would willingly sacrifice his secret identity if a person or group or humanity itself are in peril. Good thing is, I can change this anytime I have a better idea. For now this will do otherwise I might never update in a long long while.
Also enjoy exchanging ideas with username_hacked thru emais. Lol. So i lied about not doing any more sex scene xcept that one in the end. Sorry
