Awww... lovely. It's always fun to read about a Kent family party, especially when seen through the eyes of an outsider. And it's interesting to note that they haven't told her all their secrets yet. Lots of nice touches in there.
"Hey, Velma!" A tall, dark-haired man that she judged to be in his late twenties, and whom she had never seen before in her life, had appeared in the entranceway of the living room, a can of beer in one hand and a big smile on his face. "Come on in and be introduced! Hey there, Oliver! Nice to see you again."
"Hi, Aaron. From the look on her face, I don't think Velma recognizes you."
"That's probably a good thing," Aaron said. He held out his hand. "Aaron Olsen, Lieutenant. John's brother." He reached up to sweep the hair back from his forehead. "Does this ring a bell?"
lol
Nice to see Barry Kent again. And yeah, I find it hard to picture Uma in business school.
re: Marcy... super hero, super model, what's the diff, really?
Annie Kent, Annabelle Reyes... but don't ask why her agent picked that name
"Do you grill?" Velma couldn't resist asking.
"Sometimes," Oliver said. "Not today. I've got a more important project in mind."
"What's that?"
"Entertaining you," Oliver said innocently. "You're going to let me use you as an excuse, aren't you?"
Love it.
But then he gets serious...
I'm part Kryptonian. Superman was my great grandfather.
And he still is, but we won't mention that...
It happened to Clark Kent, over a hundred years ago.
And then again, just a few years ago, but never mind...
It happened to me for the first time in my life when I met you."
Oooh, what a lovely WAFF. I love that he just flat out tells her that. All the other stuff is fun fluff, but I *love* this moment. <happy sigh>
