“Your date canceled on you?”

Lois glanced pointedly at the phone Clark had just set back on its cradle.
I know that’s late in the game, but I just realized that Clark also has kids. I wonder if that will be enough for Lois to connect the dots.

He lifted his head from his hands, looking for all the world like a man on the brink of despair.

“Worse,” her partner mumbled. “My babysitter.”
shock Oops!

She reached over to give him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. “Parents not in town?”
jawdrop She knows! Or is that the first she hears of it but doesn’t care enough about his private life to wonder about his single-dadded-ness.

“Want to try asking Cat, again?” she asked, grinning.

It had been two months since the Planet's newest reporter had tried to offer Cat money for a huge personal favor. Someone in the newsroom had overheard,

apparently resulting in Clark having to have a very awkward conversation with the HR department.
Clark probably was confused the entire time why that was a *very* inappropriate thing to offer to an adult instead of…say…a 16-y/o.

On the plus side, the Planet's upcoming daycare facility had gotten bumped up from “pipe dream” to “possibly within this lifetime”.
Good in case Lois ever happens to find herself in that sort of way after a too long date with Superman?

“Shh!” He pressed a finger to his lips, then took the pizza box from her hands. “The kids are asleep.”
Foul! Foul!
