After a few minutes dangling in the air, basking in each other's gazes, Lois felt like she could stay like this with Clark forever; with his arms around her waist and hers around his neck. However, it finally came to her attention that they were in a public car park and maybe this wasn't the best place to be doing this.

"Clark, do you think maybe there's a better time and place for this?" Lois suggested, glancing around.

"Yes." Clark agreed. "Actually I've been trying to get down, but..."

"You can't control it?" Lois asked, somewhat surprised.

"Lois, with each of my powers, there's always an adjustment period." Clark explained.

"Well you might want to consider adjusting quicker otherwise someone's going to see us." Lois kept nervously glancing around, aware that anyone could drive in or come out of the restaurant any second.

Clark's face was strained, his toes kept pointing to the ground and yet nothing was happening. "I can't control it."

"Ok," Lois said, trying to keep the panic out of her voice. "Maybe instead of down we could go up or along, behind a building or –"

"I don't know if I could go up if I can't go down." Clark admitted, feeling slightly vulnerable that the man Lois thought was invincible had some problems with his powers.

Lois saw Clark's face fall, as if he thought he'd disappointed her or something. She smiled and moved her hand to his cheek. "Clark, it's ok. I understand." He smiled in relief, and his love for her grew. Lois realised something that made her smile. "Maybe we just need to tap into whatever it was that got us up here in the first place."

Clark squinted his eye in confusion. "But –" Before he could say another word, Lois leaned into him and kissed him passionately, almost aggressively, pulling him into her. Clark, unable to resist, matched her kiss for kiss, strength for strength, as they felt the wind gush from beneath them and pulled away only slightly to realise that they had launched into the air and were moving beyond the city, above the skyscrapers, beneath the stars. Lois felt her breath being taken away as Clark's arms tightened around her, guiding them through the sky, weaving in and out. Their kisses never ending, unable to stop, unwilling to let the other go.

Slowly, the world caught up and the noise of the city hummed into the silence of the country, leaving only the sounds of their short breaths and the chirp of crickets as they descended the stars to land graciously on the roof of Clark's house in Smallville. As they felt the ground hit their feet, they pulled apart, Lois smiling once she realised where they were.

"That was... incredible! The rush, the wind in my hair!" Lois hugged Clark in delight. Pulling away, she looked at him. "You flew Clark, you actually flew!"

"We flew." He corrected her. "It was perfect."

"And you brought us back here." Lois smiled, realising how beautiful the farm looked overlooking the fields at night.

Clark turned to stare at the horizon as Lois did, realising that for the first time in a long time, no moment had been quite as perfect as this one. The cool air brushed past their faces, as they stood reflecting on what happened.

"Clark?" Lois whispered.

"Yes?" Clark answered.

"How do we get down? I mean besides kissing you into the next century, because I don't think I could do that every time you're out saving someone." Lois pointed out.

"You wouldn't want to fly with me again then?" He teased.

"Of course I do." Lois answered, then realised he was teasing you. "It's just I might be busy washing my hair."

Clark nodded in amusement. "Well, I hate to interrupt such important plans, but I think I've got the hang of this now." To prove it to her, he stepped back and rose above her a metre in the air and then slowly floated back down to her again. He took her hand as she stepped closer to him once more. "Just hold onto me." He instructed as her arms slid around his neck.

"Always." She replied, resting her head on his chest. All at once, Lois and Clark rose in the air and floated back towards the real ground in front of his front door like a leaf falling in autumn. Clark had control, precision and softness.

Their feet touched down and once again Lois was under gravity's control. "Wow, you pick things up quickly."

"After the first few times, the principle of control works in the same way, whatever the power. Whatever it was making it occur in the first place will be the trigger next time." Clark explained, still not letting go of Lois' waist.

"So this time it was..." Lois started.

"The way I feel when I'm with you." Clark smiled. Had Lois not known his secret identity, had Lois been with him without knowing he was the Blur, he could never be as bold as he was being now. He had total honesty with Lois, he didn't have to be the Blur or Clark, he could be himself, the best of both.
