Keep staying safe and remember things will start taking a slight turn from the original plot. Another thing is that I hated the fact he couldn't fly, and I get that they had the no tights, no flights rule/guideline, but I mean that was really annoying.

Alicia began slowly coming back to reality and noticed two things first was that her favorite pillow was missing and second her little bundle joy was missing from her arms. She jolted upright to survey her surroundings and noticed the clock showed ten twenty-seven and thought, 'Good thing it's a Saturday. I guess it's time to go find those two.' Alicia swung her legs off the bed and began making her way to the bathroom to go through her morning routine.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face she entered the living room and began making her way to the kitchen as she heard Grace laughing and Clark saying to her, "and then I accidentally threw the tractor across the farm and your grandma got so angry at me. Let's hope you don't have truck throwing phase, or your mommy is going to kill us." Alicia decided to join in, walking towards them as she said, "Thank you for giving her more ideas." Alicia walked over to his side and gave him a quick kiss before saying "Good morning" Alicia bent down and gave a kiss to Grace's head before saying "Good morning to you too sweetie" Alicia picked her up and turned to Clark saying, "We can have our talk while we have breakfast." Clark nodded and began plating the table with their breakfast.
They both began eating their food and as Alicia started to eat the pancakes, she just stared at him. Clark was slightly confused as to the reasoning but before he could ask he heard her say, "You are teaching me how to make these because if you don't you are definitely going to the be her favorite." Clark chuckles at her antics and thought, 'Maybe I won't get completely thrashed during this talk.' They both went back to eating.
As they finished their meal Alicia got up and brought the dishes to the sink and filled them with water so that they would not dry up and made her way back to Clark. She picked Grace up and pulled Clark's arm with the other to the couch where she sat down next to him and put Grace in between them both. Alicia pulled Clark's shirt up to check his wounds from last night and saw they were completely healed and asked, "How are you feeling, are you still hurting anywhere?" Clark was really starting to appreciate how much she cared for him and replied "I'm feeling much better now, most of the life threatening things healed pretty quickly overnight however some of the more painful and cosmetic injuries I needed to soak up some of the sun to heal." Alicia gave a nod back and asked, "So what happened last night?" Clark let out a sigh and began retelling her what happened to him. As he finished, he took a deep breath and Alicia knew that there was more to the store as Clark continued "And while all that was happening I left David with Chloe and Jimmy and that was a disastrous choice."

I always thought the fight between Clark and doomsday should have been a bit longer and more brutal so in this one it was, but otherwise same fight. Basically, the last episode of season 8 just like one thing different which will be told.

Jimmy and Chloe had a moment, things were said that were meant for only each other's ears, but David overheard them and began approaching Jimmy's back with a large stake. Chloe thankfully noticed at the last second that David was approaching them and began putting space between her and Jimmy. It was then she noticed what David had in his hands and understood a general idea of what was about to happen in the next couple of seconds.
Chloe tried to shove Jimmy out of the way and almost succeeded however David was still able get him with the stake, but it went into his right shoulder instead of the middle of his chest. David pulled the stake out and hit Jimmy on the side of the head with it and watch him fall to the ground. David turned his attention to look at Chloe with a cold stare as he said "So it was all just a lie? You never truly cared for me. Was my love just a game for you? Well I'll make sure you two are together forever and what's a more fitting way than by literally breaking both of your hearts." David brought the stake up and began closing into the middle of Chloe's torso.
Chloe closed her eyes waiting for the hit to come but realized it never did. She opened her eyes to only to see Jimmy was now standing in front of her with what seemed like an old pipe in his left hand with puncture wound on his right shoulder flowing blood like a river. She looked down and saw David on the floor with blood leaking from his head as it pooled on the floor he lied on.
Chloe quickly made her way to Jimmy who would have fallen to the ground if she hadn't caught him. She laid him down so he would not fall again and found her hand covered in his blood and immediately pulled out her phone and made a call.

Alicia was semi shocked to hear about David trying to kill them and asked, "So what happened to Jimmy and Chloe?" Clark gave a small smile and said "He should survive, the stake ended up shattering his scapula which caused a small puncture of his lung. He is going to need another surgery and he will be kept in the hospital for a little bit." Clark's smile turned into a frown and said "I can't help but feel that its my fault that this happened I mean I was so sure that doomsday was the monster and that David was another victim. I believed that it was his Kryptonian part of him that was evil but I let my faith in humanity blind me from seeing that David himself had an evil to him and that humanity is not what I thought it was. I almost let Jimmy and Chloe die because of that. My entire life I thought that it was my human side that really made me different and gave me the strength constantly want to help people, but I'm starting to think that maybe I was wrong and that maybe my human side is more of a weakness and the because of my human side I let my emotion blind me." Alicia could see the self-doubt beginning to form in Clark and voiced her disagreement with what he said, "I don't believe that. Clark, I know you do things that even with your superpowers would be a stretch and its because of those emotions that you can. Do you think that the human side of daughter is weakness and more than that do you think that just because you have strong emotions for her like I know you do, where you would go through hell and back if it meant keeping her safe. Clark you may be born a Kyrptonian but as far as I am concerned you are as much a human as I am and if I do say so myself, I don't think I'm all that weak. You might have two parts to you but in the end, they make up Clark Kent and that is what is important." Clark rested his head on Alicia's and said, "I don't know your able to remove my doubt in a matter of minutes. You sure your only power is teleportation." Alicia just shook her head stayed pressed to Clark soaking in his warmth.
Alicia noticed Grace asleep in their arms put her in a better position with grace lying on her while she laid into Clarks embrace. Alicia sighed as she said, "The next time your going to fight a monster it would be nice try to call me some time when you get a chance. I understand you clearly had a busy night, but I was incredibly worried that entire time as well and it felt there was a hole in my chest when I saw you come in looking how you did." Clark felt bad for doing that to her and gave a her a squeeze and kissed her temple before saying, "Sorry you had to go through that I'll make sure to find some way to get in contact with you to keep you in the loop." Alicia nuzzled deeper into his chest before saying, "Okay."
They both sat there for minutes before Alicia gave a slight cough and said, "So what are your thoughts on Florida?" This brough Clark out of his blissful stupor as he said "Well I haven't really ever been there, so I don't have any personal opinions on but I her they have nice beaches. Why?" Alicia gave a half fake laugh and said, "Well we might have to move over there. Yesterday April and I had a finished our base work and we now need to plan the trials runs and I didn't even think we were going to get that far this fast and it had been an afterthought, but now we need to send our sample to space so that they can be studied under the effects of zero gravity so we can looked at it on a three dimensional scale." Clark just shook his head and said, "That's above my pay grade I'll leave the brains to this relationship to you. So how long would we be in Florida?" Alicia him a playful slap to his arm and said, "You are plenty smart in your own things like farming, and we would be over there for probably a year, but I won't know until we really get started over there. Is that okay with you?" Clark started sifting through her hair and said, "I'll go wherever you two are plus I'm going to need some time away from the Daily Planet and Metropolis in general. There will be others who can help people them I can help people who need it in Florida but otherwise I am going to need to talk with certain someone in a certain cave. I will however hopefully be able to spend more time with my two-favorite people in the whole world." Alicia couldn't help the smile from coming to her face and while she was curios about who this person in the cave was, she decided it would be best to ask another time.
They stayed like that for about an hour with them all deciding to just take a nap and lounge away the day. Grace was the first to awake and began fussing due to needing a diaper change. They both woke up and began tending to Grace. Clark was the one who changed the diaper as Alicia asked him, "What did you want to do for lunch?" Clark finished changing Grace before answering "We could go for some pizza and if its okay with you we could swing by the hospital to check in with Jimmy and Chloe to make sure they are alright after." Alicia gave him a nod saying, "Yeah that's good with me." Clark zoomed out of the apartment for about a minute before he returned with a large a pizza.
