After Clark had taken a moment to try and let everything sink in, he picked Lois up effortlessly, and started to walk in the direction of the Conference Room, when he remembered that there were about half a dozen people in the room who would want an explanation.
Taking a deep breath, Clark slowly turned back towards the group to explain. "You've all seen Lois when she's angry, right?" Everyone nodded apprehensively. "Well, I saw that look in her eyes. When she comes round she's gonna be very angry, and I don't want to subject you to Lois when she's angry - especially when she's angry with me. So I'm just gonna take her into the Conference Room and wait for her to regain consciousness. When she does, I'll let her rant and rave, and then we'll come out."
At that, Clark grabbed a torch from his desk and threw it at a young man in the group. "Jason. While I'm in there, You go to the fuse box at the end of the corridor and try to get the lights back on. Jimmy, make sure everyone else stays here - and look after Lucy. She hardly knows her way around here when the lights are on," Clark said, smiling fondly at Lucy so she would not take offence.
Jimmy opened his mouth, but Clark seemed to know what he was about to say. "There's no need to apologise Jimmy. And no, I won't tell Lois. Anyway, my guess is that it wasn't all your idea," Clark said, glancing back at Lucy.
They both at least had the grace to look guilty.
"I thought so, " Clark said as he walked into the Conference Room, shutting the door behind him with his foot, as he was still carrying a still unconscious Lois.
