Next morning, Clark walked into the Daily Planet. His friend: Jimmy Olsen greeted him.
"Hey, Clark. Mr. White would like to see you in his office right away."
Clark, Lois, Richard, Jason and Jimmy all met up in Perry White's office. Perry made an announcement to the group.
"Where has Superman been last night after Lex Luthor was found and rescued by the scientist behind this 'New Krypontite' idea. Something we've been searching clues for after Lex Luthor's plot to destroy the country had been foiled. Found in today's news brochure."
"I'm sure he didn't make it in time, sir," replied Jason, "he must have had other things to do."
"Shut up now, Olsen. You got anything to say about this, Kent."
Clark stayed quiet for a moment. Lois was the only one who understood of course.
"Well, Kent. I guess I'll take that as a no. Guess he's been too busy helping people around the city. Anyway, all of you back to work.
After work, Lois met up with Clark outside the building.
"Hey, Lois."
"Oh, hey Clark. How was your day?"
"It was fine. Yours?"
"Not bad. A bit tough. Had to keep working at that Pulitzer, you know..." and she whispered in his ear, "for Why The World Needs Superman."
"Oh, that one. You've been working on that for over three years, haven't you?"
"Yes, and surprisingly enough, I haven't finished it yet. It's a bit of a tough one you know. After all those years I've spent on Why The World Doesn't Need Superman. But I eventually changed it of course. So now all of that has officially moved past us already. Thank god. You know."
And they both laughed until Richard and Jason came along.
"Lois," said Richard, 'let's go."
"I'll be there in a minute, Richard. Why don't you just get the car started?"
"Okay."
And they both left.
"Yeah, well since eight years ago when Jason was born and Richard and I met, I am technically Lois Lane-White. Related to my own boss. That's exciting. Ain't that, right, Clark?"
"Yeah. And so I see you're still engaged to Richard."
"Yeah, well, about Jason being your son as well and you his biological father. After keeping it a secret from my own family, I'm sure Jason would be interested to find out but if Richard does, then oh, the secret wouldn't be much of a secret at all, wouldn't it. He can get a bit over too desperate sometimes but at the end of the day, he's alright for a husband. Not that we have to be married to be engaged, right?"
"Right."
Richard honked the horn on the car."
"Coming, Richard!"
Before she headed off for the car, she turned around and said "goodbye, Clark."
Then she left for the car and the family took off.
Clark watched as the car set off into the distance and he flagged down a taxi for home.
