Five years later, Wally and Linda were having a romantic dinner when he suddenly became distracted.
"Wally?" Linda asked worriedly. "What's wrong?"
"Staff meeting. I need to go to the Watch Tower, now. I'm sorry, Linda."
"Our first week as a married couple and we can't even finish our dinner," she sighed frustrated. "Superman will going too?"
"Yes, why?" Wally asked curiously.
"Can you drop me of at Lois'? It's nice having someone who understands what I'm going through."
"Sure," Wally smiled at her as he changed into his Flash costume. "Supes? I'm dropping Linda off by you, okay?" he asked via his communication device.
"Sure, Wally. You can…" out of nowhere Linda and Flash appeared in front of them. "…come."
Lois looked at them surprised. "At least we can have a girl's night while you're out on a mission," Lois smiled at Superman caressing his costume. "Just be careful okay, Clark?" she asked before they shared a passionate kiss.
"I will," he grinned at her. "I promise."
"You too, Wally," Linda said worriedly caressing his face. "Be careful."
"I will Linda. Don't worry, baby," he said giving her a passionate kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too, Wally."
Lois and Superman hugged before they shared another kiss. "I love you, Lois. Always have and always will."
"I love you too, Clark. With all my heart."
"Jo'hn, we're ready," Superman spoke to the Watch Tower before he and Flash disappeared as Lois and Linda looked worriedly after them.
They sighed and looked at each other, glad that they weren't alone and they had each other for comfort.
Lois and Linda had become close friends since they had met five years ago. Lois became Linda's confidant and visa versa since it was a relief in the lonely nights when their husbands were on a mission with the Justice League saving the world.
"Do you want some coffee?" Lois asked Linda who looked distracted.
"Sure!"
"Don't worry, Linda. They know what they're doing."
"I know," she smiled still worried. "But I can't help but feel afraid for him, especially now that we're married. How do you handle this, Lois?"
"I have faith in him. I know he'll come back to me. Superman is doing what he can to protect this planet, because he loves it like his own. That's why I love him so much. His selfless acts, show what a great man he really is," Lois explained to Linda who smiled back. "And I'm sure Wally is the same, right?" Linda nodded as she wiped a tear from her eye. "He'll come back to you , Linda. You'll see. You have to believe in him."
"I do, Lois. I do."
The next morning, Lois and Linda were sleeping in their respective beds when Superman and Flash finally appeared just as the sun was rising.
"Good Morning, sunshine!" Superman smiled to Lois who opened her eyes before kissing him like she had never kissed him before.
"Clark! You're back!" she hugged him hard. "And you're safe!"
"Everything's okay now. We contained the threat against Earth. Brainiac is gone!"
"Thank God," Lois sighed before looking in the direction of the living room. "Where's Flash?"
"He already took off with Linda. I think they deserve a little time alone, don't you think? It's their first week as a married couple, anyway."
"I remember our first week. Luthor, Brainiac, Darkseid… It isn't easy being married to a superhero. I should know."
Superman changed from his costume into Clark's pajamas and laid down on the bed as he hugged Lois tenderly.
"How about we not leave this room for the rest of the weekend?" he proposed to her with a naughty smile.
"I think that's an excellent idea," Lois smirked at him before laying her head on Clark's chest as they spent the rest of the weekend enjoying each other.
