After that first family dinner Martha and Loki continued to get together to chat over tea or lunch.
Martha was relieved to be able to unburden herself of some of her worries over Clark's superhero activities. She was also glad to finally have a chance to share some of the more unusual stories from Clark's early childhood that she had been forced to keep to herself in order to protect her son:
*The time toddler Clark picked up a tractor in order to retrieve the ball that had rolled under it
*The time young Clark sneezed and knocked over the scarecrow and several rows of corn
*The difficulties of fetching a floating baby down from the ceiling and trying to keep him in his crib for a nap
Loki soaked up all these stories like a thirsty sponge, treasuring every glimpse he had of his son's childhood.
Clark wasn't sure how he felt about a supervillain striking up a friendship with his mother, although Loki was always on his best behavior whenever he visited Martha.
Clark would fly out to the farm to find his two "mothers" sharing tea and cookies at the kitchen table, laughing or crying together depending on the nature of Martha's reminiscence. But when Clark entered the room they would both turn to him with matching smiles and eyes full of loving adoration, so that any objections Clark might have went unspoken.
It wasn't like either of them was likely to listen to Clark anyway.
