Glad you are back, Chris!
After midnight, Clark, Lois, and LabRat flew back to James and Lucy’s home. The dog seemed to sense that something was up, because he was resistant to having Lois put his harness and cape on. Lois had hugged and kissed him, telling him that she would visit him every day and they would take him to the farm in Smallville on the weekends.
Aww… The poor baby wants to stay with his new ‘people’.
“Get me that Luthor Corp scoop, and I don’t care if you type the story up on an electric typewriter!” James responded. “Then I guess I’m going to have to send you to Gotham City so you can unmask the Batman.”
Fat Chance. At least fat chance that you’ll reveal it….
Lois felt that all-too familiar tingling feeling come over her. “But if we practice in Smallville, there won’t be anyone there to hear me scream,” she sassed back. “And I really believe I’ll be making a *lot* of noise.”
Ork?
Shortly afterwards, a coyote in the area heard something that made him howl in agreement.
Ork, ork, ork….
“Lois, you *do* realize you’re with a man who has X-ray vision,” Clark joked. “You’re beautiful; stop it right now. In fact, stand up. You’re gorgeous, and not just to me.”
Aww….
In regards to the Smallville Airport: with Lex Luthor having a presence in town, the airport which serves about 30,000 people, is fairly modern. I see it in my mind as about the size of our own Bradley Airport here in Connecticut before it had an international wing.
I think I'd tend to agree with this Chris. Of course, it would depend on the size of the town, but an airport might serve several other local communities as well. We have a small airport here, and while it doesn't have a cocktail lounge (it's a dry county), it did used to have a small area where food could be obtained. The town the airport is in has maybe 3000 people (if that) but the airport serves a much larger local area. Many years ago, the president even landed there because the closest commercial airport didn't have a landing strip long enough for Airforce 1 to land. And if LexCorp was heavily involved in the airport, Lex might want a restaurant maintained there. I can easily see locals going to the restaurant to eat, too, to help keep it in business.
