Chapter 3:
Lois opened the door and helped her still floating passenger out of the car. Once he was out he doubled over- well, as much as was possible- and emptied out all the contents of his stomach. Lois sighed, Well, at least he waited until he wasn't in the car. She helped guide him into the apartment building. It's a good thing that most of the people who live in this building are partiers. Not a single person was in the hall as Lois pulled Clark towards her apartment room. Lois shut the door behind her and Clark and let go of him as she threw the bolt, locking the door- after all, this is Metropolis, not Smallville.
Clark winced slightly as his head hit the ceiling, not because it hurt but because of the dent it left. How was he going to explain to Lois why his head left a dent? Another thought dawned on him then, how was he going to explain the floating? That would be a lot more noticeable than a small dent in the ceiling. He groaned inwardly at the thought of explaining all of this, but, then again, he'd gladly explain it all if he could just find a way to get down.
Lois turned back to him, "How did you get up there?" "I think I floated," Clark suggested.
Lois rolled her eyes at him. "Really? I thought you were standing on an invisible platform," she deadpanned.
Cark looked down, wondering if he really was standing on an invisible platform. After a few moments of struggling, he managed to rotate himself so his feet were touching the ceiling and started feeling the space underneath of him.
She sighed, "What are you doing"
"Trying to find an invisible platform." After a moment he looked at Lois and shook his head slightly, "Nope, if there is one, I can't find it." Lois sighed slightly, he was really drunk. She needed to get him sober, maybe then they would be able to figure this out. She went over to the sink and took a bucket out from underneath it. After finding a good sized length of rope, Lois went back over to Clark. She moved him into her room and positioned him over the bed, with him protesting the whole way that he would take the couch. She grinned as she tied the rope around a fuming Clark's stomach. Once she was sure it was secure she tied the other end to the bed and put the bucket nearby. "See ya in the morning, Smallville," she said and left the room. Lois grabbed a spare blanket on her way out and curled up with it on the couch, after taking a few aspirin, of course.
Lois sat up and blinked a few times in confusion. She distinctly remembered falling asleep on the couch, how did she get to her bed? And where's Clark? She got out of the bed and stumbled sleepily out of her room. The smell of freshly brewed coffee caused her to look over towards the kitchen area. Clark was holding a frying pan in the air and staring intensely at it. "What are you doing, Smallville?" Clark spun around, startled by Lois's voice. "Um, cooking." "Do you always cook by holding the pan in the air?" Clark quickly put the pan on the stove, "I was, uh, seeing what brand it was. Yeah, I was considering getting my mom a new set of pans for her birthday and, uh, I'm not really sure what brands are good and which aren't." Lois nodded skeptically but didn't say anything about it. "I see you figured out how to get down." Clark nodded, "Once the effect of the alcohol wore off, I figured it out pretty easily." "Mind explaining how you got up to begin with?" His face turned red slightly, "Well, the alcohol sort of, um, relaxed my mind and, um... yeah." Lois noticed that he had turned redder during his response. "And what?" "And I kind of..." "You kind of, what?" Lois asked, exasperated. He mumbled something that she could just barely hear, and her eyes widened drastically. She though she should be furious, but for some odd reason, she wasn't. It was actually kinda cute how awkward and embarrassed he was about it, she thought with a grin. "So, you're saying that was what caused you to float?" Clark locked his gaze on his shoes and ran his hand through his hair as he nodded.
It's a bit longer but I wanted to leave a little suspense about what triggered Clark's floating.
