Chapter 8:Guilt washed over him as the gravity of what had happened hit him. How had he missed it?
How did I know Clark would be beating himself up for something as basic as *gasp* sleeping with his wife after she initiated sex?
Oh Clark, you goody two shoes, you.
“And a few other things throughout the day,” she gave him a wicked grin.
Good! Wouldn't want to lose out on those memories there.
Neither Lois or Clark had returned to the office yesterday. No one had spotted Superman either until just after nine when he was seen patrolling Hobb’s Bay.
*spews coffee* Were they going at it for a whole day?! And Clark didn't think there was something going on with Lois? (Also, get it, girl!)
^reread that passage and my bad haha. You meant they didn't come back all day after going to the prison, as in, the same day.
More realistic. Only slightly disappointing.
In parenthesis, there was a note with a question mark, ‘Kryptonite element?’ Then the test results showed that the tested rock emitted an extremely high band radiation that was similar to that of Kryptonite. A note at the bottom read, ‘See Dr. Klein. Possible new Kryptonite element.’
I can't remember very well, but did Bernie not get a chance to test the red variation of Kryptonite? It disappeared, didn't it?
She stared at the bottle of perfume she’d used the day before and dropped a single chip of the meteorite inside.
I'm sensing "bowchickawowow: the sequel" is coming soon. Hehe.
“Look, I know it sounds far-fetched but just go with me on this. When did all of this start? The weird things going on at the office. The pranks. Then the dead bodies showing up left and right at the prison. It’s all connected!”
Lois, laying every crime ever committed at Cat Grant's feet.
LOIS: Remember Lex Luthor? Cat met him, too! I'm not saying, but I'm just saying, you know?
“You didn’t even know what I was going to ask!” Lois argued, glaring at Detective Wolfe in surprise.
“Whatever it is it can’t be good.” Wolfe retorted, pointing to the clock behind her. “My shift ends in half an hour, and I’m really not wanting to charge into a situation where Superman has to be called, and I’m stuck here doing paperwork for the next three hours.”
Well, he's got her number.
“You came in here promising a real quick favor every single time.” Wolfe pointed out.
“Fine, you made your point. We make your job so hard by making you look into crime.” Lois rolled her eyes at him.
Point, Lois.
“Hey!” Barry called out, “We were rolling!”
“Not anymore!” Clark spat out in an intimidating tone that mirrored the sternness he gave criminals as Superman.
“Easy, man!” Mike admonished as Clark threw him to the ground, turning his attention to Barry who was attempting to make a run for it.
Love this scene! Clark putting on his Superman face, having had it with Barry.
Well done!
“What was that about his cameraman’s tape missing? I was very careful when I tossed him.” Clark shook his head.
“You were. I wasn’t.” Lois said, pulling the camera’s tape from her purse.
“You swiped it?” Clark chuckled.
She leaned in to kiss him and grinned, “Love you too.”
Hahahaha! Adorable. They're such a good team.
Cat opened her mouth to respond but stopped when she heard a sneeze from across the aisle. They both turned to see the papers flying across Clark’s desk in a whirlwind effect. Clark was not at his desk but the papers hung in the air for a moment as they ventured down from where they’d been blown.
That sneeze! So perfect, I'm dying!
“What’s wrong, Lois, Clark keeping you up all night?”
LOIS: Well, yes... but that's not what's wrong, that's what's so very right.
“Um, you left quite a…mess earlier,” Lois said, pulling her gaze away from him.
“I needed to get away in a hurry,” he said, running his hand down her shoulder and leaning in to whisper, “Why don’t we get out of here?”
“We have a staff meeting in…” she felt a tightness in her throat when she saw the look in his eyes once more. Before she could finish her statement, his lips captured hers. A hard jolt ran down her spine as her lips parted.
Oooh! This is going to be one fun staff meeting.
I'll have to get to the last two chapters later, but I'm loving it so far! Great job!
