Back at The Watchtower, shit hit the fan.
"You were supposed to be covering her Wally!" Superman shouted, pinning him to a wall.
"Put him down!" I yelled attempting to pull Clark's arm from Wally's throat.
"He let you get kidnapped." He said glaring at me.
"I'm sure he has a good excuse." I reasoned, "But if you choke him we'll never know."
He sighed and put Wally down.
"Alright what's your excuse?" Clark muttered, clearly not pleased that I had made him release Wally.
"Well, um, there was a really hot girl." He answered trying to sound ashamed but he clearly wasn't. Before Clark could go crazy on him again I interrupted.
"How hot was she?"
"Really hot." He answered, "An 8 at least"
"Forgiven." I said and high-fived him.
Clark was dumbfounded.
"Melissa can I speak to you for a moment. Alone." He said and beckoned me to a secluded corner of The Watchtower. I shrugged at Wally and went to join him.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"You need to start taking this seriously." He replied, "You could have gotten killed back there."
"You don't think I don't take this seriously?" I scoffed.
"Well you did just get yourself kidnapped."
"Excuse me?" I shouted angrily, "I got myself kidnapped? You act like that's my fault. I didn't walk up to The Joker and asked him to take him to wherever the hell that hide out was. God Clark you're acting like I'm some defenseless puppy that needs your saving. Well in case you've forgotten, I have powers too. I'm not Lois." Then I stormed off.
I knew I had gone too far with the Lois line but he treated me like I can't defend myself. I went over and sat down at the table where Wally and I had our eating contest. The last place where everything was normal.
"Hey." Wally came and sat down next to me. My only response was to glare at him from the corner of my eye. As my best friend he should know when I want to be left alone.
"Come on Mel give me a smile." He said and poked me in the ribs. This asshole knows where all my ticklish spots are. I couldn't hold back my smile. So I punched him in the shoulder.
"Just because you made me laugh doesn't mean I'm not still mad. I'm not ready to forgive Clark." I said seriously.
"I wasn't trying to get you forgive him." He said putting his arm around me, "He was being a total jerk. I was just trying to make you feel better."
I smiled and layed my head on his shoulder. This little bit of normalcy was really comforting after the craziness of the day. I eventually fell asleep there. It had been a really long day.
