Chapter 16 - Princesses and Damsels
Kara's idea seemed to occupy Clark's thoughts, and he was unable to work on the article. He had even missed Jimmy, who had been sitting on his desk, trying to get his attention.
Kara was about to leave for lunch when she noticed Clark and Jimmy. She walked behind her cousin and gave him a nice pat on the back. Being one of the strongest people on earth, she was capable of inflicting pain on Superman with her light pats. Clack flinched and looked up at her and Jimmy.
"C.K., were you daydreaming? Been trying to get your attention. Perry told me to tell you that you need to go to the Themysciran embassy and interview Madam Ambassador. You need to leave now." Jimmy gave him a quick smile before walking away.
Clark turned to face his cousin who simply shrugged. "You go and get that interview out of your way. I'm heading to S.T.A.R. Labs to talk to Barry, see if he could use that cool treadmill of his to run fast enough."
"Kara, ask Wells about the Tachyon prototype," Clark said as he picked up his laptop and bag.
"What's that?" she asked as she followed him out.
"Barry will know. He will explain. Bruce was talking about it earlier. He wanted it to be destroyed. Or at least taken away from them."
"Is it dangerous?" Kara asked in concern.
"It's powerful. That's all I know. See you later!" Clark left the building and hurried to New York. He had to tell Diana about this before their interview.
When he reached the Themysciran Embassy, he was asked by Diana's assistant Emma to wait.
"The Princess will be with your shortly, Mr. Kent," Emma said when she led him to the lounge.
Clark thanked her and sat back. Once she left the room, he used his x-ray vision to see who was with Diana in her office. There was no one, but she was on the phone. Once Diana was done, she buzzed Emma and asked her to send in her next appointment.
"Princess, Mr. Kent from the Daily Planet is here to interview about your latest charity event," Emma announced as Clark walked in.
"Thank you, Emma," Diana replied politely without looking up from her papers. "Mr. Kent, thank you for joining me. Would you like to drink something? I'm sorry I pulled you away during your lunch break. Please have a seat."
Clark recognized that tone. That was her all-business tone, and she didn't like it when people tried to distract her in any way. In an equal professional tone, he replied, "Thank you, Your Highness. It is kind of you to agree to give us an interview. May I start with the questions?"
Diana finally looked up from the papers in front of her. Clark was seated on the couch, fiddling with the pen in his hand. If she hadn't known Superman closely, she would have mistaken him for some awkward, young reporter trying to get his first, big scoop. She smirked at him.
"Let me ask you a question first, Mr. Kent."
Clark looked up at her and gulped. She stood up and walked in front of her desk; leaning over it, she smirked.
"Ye… yes, Princess. Ple… please do," he stammered, unable to look into her eyes.
"How do you concentrate so well? Don't you get distracted?"
Clark finally looked up and asked, "Distracted by what?"
Diana smiled as she moved towards him. She leaned over him and whispered in his ear. "Me?"
Clark gulped once again and shook his head. "No, sorry. Can we get on with the interview please? I've to go back and have my lunch."
"You can have your lunch here," she proposed.
"Wha… what?"
"How would you like me, Mr. Kent?" She winked as she quickly began to undo his tie.
Clark froze in his seat. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. But I've a girlfriend."
"Is she beautiful?" Diana asked with a small frown.
"Yes," he whispered.
She moved closer, her lips touching hers. "More than me?"
Clark was about to reply but furious lips crashed over his in a heated kiss. Diana grabbed his hair and pulled him closer. Their chests touching, she ran her hand over the back of his neck and tugged on his hair again. Clark moaned in her mouth.
"Di, no…" he begged. "The door. Someone will come in."
Diana pulled back and smirked at him. With his messy hair and her dark lipstick smudged over his lips, she knew they could get caught if Emma walked in. She got up from his lap and quickly locked the door. Clark smiled and breathed heavily. Oh, he sure was in for a grand time.
When the interview was over, and Clark was busy buttoning his shirt, he quickly told Diana what Kara had suggested earlier.
Diana was putting on her skirt as she asked, "Do you think Barry is that fast?"
"With a proper device to help, he would be," Clark assured her.
Diana nodded and pulled him closer for one last kiss. He did manage to ask her some questions and finish the interview, but he couldn't go back to Daily Planet looking like this. So he asked Diana if he could sit in her office and finish writing it all and sending it to Perry to read. Diana offered him another office with a desk and computer, but he refused. Sitting on her couch, he quickly finished writing and emailed the interview to Perry.
Once he was done, he headed home.
Clark 2 was cooking something but the minute Clark entered, he gave him a weird, knowing look.
"Been to the Themysciran Embassy, huh?" Clark 2 grinned.
"How do you know?"
"One, you smell like her. Two, you were grinning like a Cheshire cat just now, meaning you got laid."
Clark rolled his eyes as he kept his bag away and removed his coat. "Let's talk about you. You said no to Lois Lane."
"Well, she really is not my type," Clark 2 confessed.
"Really, Clarence, isn't she even your friend there?"
"Clark, she tried to ruin my career on my very first day at the Planet! You know how?"
Clark shrugged. "Enlighten me, buddy."
"By trying to drown me. Intentionally or not, we were on a small yacht, covering something and then there was an earthquake. She pushed me off the yacht, got herself a lifejacket and jumped. Only killing me wasn't all that easy. She's been a pain ever since. On my earth, at least. How do you even stand that woman?"
"She's not that bad. But yeah, she can be overbearing. Just this morning she was talking about putting up a 'S' symbol like the Bat Light to call Superman whenever she wanted."
Clark 2 rolled his eyes hearing that. "Ask her to jump off a building."
Clark started laughing loudly. "That's what I did. She was shocked."
"She is obsessed with Superman, you know. She did fall off buildings deliberately. And I was supposed to rescue her every time she did? It's stupid. She could have died!"
"Well, Clarence. When you are around, I don't think anyone is dying anytime soon. So what are you making?"
"Do you like ramen?"
Clark nodded happily. "If it's food, I'm okay with anything, dude!"
