if I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by . . .

Metropolis

I hope Lex is still up. He's only been at this stupid seminar for two days, but the phone calls just aren't doing it anymore. I need to *see* him.

Springfield

The United States is a really beautiful country, you know?

Indianapolis

The United States is a beautiful country, but sometimes I wish there wasn't so darned much of it.

Columbus

I wonder if I can get work that floating thing into flying somehow? Metropolis to Gotham on foot is much farther than I expected.

Annapolis

Whew. Almost there . . .

Gotham City

Excelsior Hotel, Gotham, Room 518.

First floor, second floor, . . .

Fifth floor. 502, 504, 506 . . . 518.


Lex answered the door, a lazy, half-asleep confusion in his eyes.

A confusion that passed as one pair of blue eyes met another.

And Lex opened his arms, bringing Clark in.
