Clark really wanted to be there when Lois arrived, but he couldn't help it. A train was about to derail.

Only moments after Clark left, Bruce's cell phone rang, "I'm sorry, Kara, but I must take this phone call. I'll be outside if you should need me."

Bruce and Clark hadn't been gone long before there was the sound of the doorbell.

"Lois," Kara said in surprise when she answered the door. "What are you doing here?"

"Kara, I didn't know you were living on the farm again. I'm here to see Clark."

Kara smiled devilishly and she said teasingly, "Clark? Are you two dating?"

"I'd say. He proposed to me last night."

Kara's mouth dropped open. "What, he didn't say anything to me."

"There is the problem of my father. Maybe he didn't want to say anything until we'd jumped that hurdle."

"He didn't even tell me you two were dating. I'm so glad there'll be a woman around to talk to these things about. When did he tell you that we were aliens with superpowers?"

Lois' eyes widened and her mouth dropped in shock.

"Oh no, you didn't know, did you? That's my cousin for you," she said throwing up her hands.

"You're not joking," Lois stated. She had hoped that Kara was joking, but some unexplained occurrences were starting to make sense.

"I'm afraid not," Kara told her.

"I can't believe he was ready to walk down the aisle with me but he still couldn't tell me the truth. Wait a minute. The Blur is really Clark, isn't he? You don't have to tell me. I know he is and I confessed to him last night that I had a thing for the Blur. Why didn't he tell me then? How humiliating. He's had 2 identities all this time and he was using the false one, at least I suppose it was the false one, to woo me as well. I guess so he'd have a backup should one of his identities fail. Did you know that he was calling me up as the Blur and using me as a confidant? Boy, is he going to get an earful when I see him next. I don't even know if we can have a future now. I mean is he the Blur or is he Clark Kent?"

"I can imagine how you must feel. I've just started a relationship with Bruce Wayne and if I found out he lied to me or withheld vital information. I just don't know if it could get off the ground. He's already told me that he is the superhero Clark has been consulting with and advising. He was honest from the get go, a quality I definitely admire."

"Wait a minute. Bruce Wayne? There is no way that Bruce is a superhero," she said with a laugh. "And if he was, I can guarantee you that Clark hasn't been consulting with him."

"What do you mean?"

"Clark barely knows him. I just introduced them not that long ago when Bruce joined the Daily Planet board and I didn't say Blur meet SuperBruce, SuperBruce meet the Blur. They clearly don't go around just telling anybody that they're superheroes, so I don't see them confiding in each other so soon. He's become a part of Clark's lie to you because men cover up for each other like that. He's been with me a lot lately. He makes stupid excuses to leave which I now realize was so that he could go masquerade as the Blur, but I can tell you it's not Bruce he has been hanging out with in the city."

"But if you didn't know Clark was a superhero, isn't it possible you didn't know Bruce was a superhero?"

"Okay, point taken, but like I said if he is a superhero I can tell you that Clark has no clue about it."

"You're right. When Clark arrived he said that the superhero was dead. Then they had this big, private conversation in which it was somehow all a misunderstanding and Clark didn't look happy the whole time about Bruce being there."

"So we've both been lied to, isn't that just great?"

Clark and Bruce returned to find two angry women waiting for them in confrontational positions.

"How nice to see you, Superhero," Lois said to Clark. Clark cringed at the word that she normally said with admiration but had been turned into an insult in his case.

"Funny, isn't it?" Kara remarked to Lois. "Two so-called superheroes and no earnestness or honesty between them."
