Metropolis, 2029
Seven Years later, Lara Lane Kent was fourteen years old, and had just come back from school very irritated, after spending part of the day in detention.
The girl entered her room, threw her backpack on the floor, and took off her sneakers before jumping on the bed frustrated. Lois entered the room and was worried about her daughter.
"Lara, are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine!" Lara snapped annoyed.
"Your principal called me and told me you got detention again. Are you still hanging around with those West twins?"
"No I mean, I'm. They are my best friends mom," Lara explained still frustrated with her day.
"I know, honey. I know, but you can't get yourself in trouble all the time because of them," Lois reminded her before noticing Bruce with Terry in the doorway of Lara's room. "Okay, we talk later. You have some guests."
"Terry!" Lara said excited trying to control herself. "I mean hi Wayne !"
"Hi, Lane!" Terry replied holding some books in his hand. "I brought the books you asked me to. Are you ready to study math?"
"I'm." Lara nodded as Lois noticed Lara staring at her without saying a word.
"We'll leave you alone." Lois announced with a smile before leaving Lara and Terry alone to study.
Lois and Bruce went to the kitchen to talk while Clark was already there with a very old Alfred.
"So, how is Terry, Bruce?" Lois asked as she started to boil some coffee for them.
"He is a good kid stubborn sometimes but"
"Like his father?" Lois teased, with a grin, as Clark and Alfred laughed.
"I'm not stubborn."
"Ha!" Clark said out loud as Bruce gives him a hard glance. "Yes, you are Bruce."
"I have to agree with them, Master Bruce." Alfred said with a friendly smile.
"Okay, I can be a handful sometimes but it's necessary because of my job."
"Right!" Lois said with a sarcastic smile. "So, how is Selina, Bruce?"
"She is fine. I think," Bruce confessed trying to avoid Lois's eyes.
"You think?" Clark asked confused staring at him curious. "What happened?"
"We split up, she moved out to Paris . We don't have much in common anyway," Bruce explained with a sad expression. "That's why I brought Terry today. Being with Lara is a good distraction since Selina is not around. She'll be able to see him of course but he'll live with me."
"I see. I'm sorry, Bruce," Lois said putting her hand on his shoulder. "If you need to talk"
"That's okay, Lois. I'm fine," Bruce confessed as they stayed in silence for some minutes before Lois broke the ice.
"I'll call the kids to eat some ice cream. They need a break anyway," Lois said as she walked through to Lara's room and stood in the doorway watching Lara and Terry who were studying together.
Terry was looking at Lara with a smile making her blush.
"What?" Lara asked still blushing.
"You have an eyelash on your face," Terry pointed out grinning.
"I have?"
"Yes." Terry nodded as he picked the eyelash off her cheek and smiled. "Here. Make a wish careful."
"I know how to control my powers, okay?" Lara reminded him as she closed her eyes. She blew the eyelash and she and Terry stared at each other for a moment. Terry gave her a very passionate kiss shocking Lois who still was watching everything.
She decide to come back to the Kitchen quick before they could notice her but her surprised expression was still all over her face.
"Lois"? Clark asked worried with Lois's expression. "Did you call them?"
"I didn't have the chance."
"Why not?" Bruce enquired suspicious as always.
"Because they are kissing," Lois confessed and Clark and Bruce exchanged glances as Alfred smiled still drinking his tea.
"Ohhh Love," Alfred said as Lois, Clark and Bruce looked at him confused.
"What do you mean by love, Alfred?" Bruce inquired very confused with the situation.
"They are in love, Master Bruce," Alfred explained.
"I can see that. But what do we do now?" Lois asked before noticing Terry and Lara were back in the living room holding hands.
"Be cool, Lois. They are here," Clark pointed out whispering noticing they went into the kitchen. "Are you done yet?"
"No, we are just taking a break to eat something," Terry explained still holding Lara's hands.
"Yeah, math can be boring," Lara pointed out giggling. "Besides, I'm hungry."
"I bet you are," Lois said with a sarcastic smile before Clark pinched her arm "Ow!"
"What?" Lara and Terry asked in unison.
"Never mind," Lois said frustrated.
