Hi everyone! I've just started trying to catch up on the stories here, and it finally occurred to me that there is something rather bizarre about Bobby Bigmouth that I've never seen explored in a fic. Typically, Lois and Clark get in her car with food and drive somewhere to meet him, and he shows up suddenly in her back seat with neither of them noticing how he got in. It's pretty hard (or impossible maybe) to open and close a car door without making any noise. So I propose a fic challenge to explain this.
Does Clark actually not notice him get in the car, or is it just Lois who is oblivious and he plays along? Clark should hear (and smell, maybe?) Bobby in the back seat unless something weird is going on.
Does Bobby get in the car before they do, knowing that they are going to meet him? Why? Just to be mysterious, or to spy on them, or for some other reason?
Is Bobby going in through the car door? If so, how could he do that so silently? Was he trained as a ninja or super-spy or something? Does he have special gear?
If Bobby isn't going through the door, how does he get in?
Does he have some sort of super power that enables this? Maybe he's stretchy and can slither through a crack somewhere or can phase through the floor. Maybe he can shrink really small and get in through the vents. Or maybe he just climbs in the door as loudly as he wants because he casts some sort of illusion on L&C so that they can't see or hear him.
So what do you guys think? How does Bobby pull off his sudden appearances?
