FDK: Free Falling, Part 4 - 09/20/18 12:38 PM
Hi Cindy! 
So nice to see a new part!
Hehe, CJ's feeling the perks of being invulnerable I see.
You can feel the emotional strain here between these two. Imagine being invulnerable your entire life and then poof you're bleeding. I love the simple gesture of putting her hand on his giving that physical contact to say 'I'm here for you.'
Out of the mouth of babes.
Just don't let him tell his Grandma Lois. 
No, he had no idea
He has a movie so he's cooler.
Next visit to the grands might be filled with 20 questions superhero style.
Nice ending scene.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
So nice to see a new part!

“You know, I’ve never been drunk before.”
Her hip leaned against the table and she took her hand from his chest. “You’re not drunk, you’re medicated. Drunk is more fun.”
“Okay, I’ve never been medicated before,”

“I’m sorry,” he said, locking eyes with her.
“You don’t need to apologize for getting shot,”

“On the news and stuff. Sometimes if a bad guy is hurting someone, Grandpa Clark will come in and save them. He’s Superman.”

“You know he’s Superman, right?”
CJ opened his eyes again and glanced at his wife, before turning back toward Adam, mustering a smile. “Yes, I was aware of that.”

CJ couldn’t help but smile. He looked at Jen. “Should I tell him?” he asked her, and she quirked an eyebrow.
“I don’t know why not at this point,” she answered.
“Tell me what?” Adam asked.
“Who Batman is,” CJ answered.
“It’s you. Duh,” Adam said, rolling his eyes. “But you don’t fight bad guys on the news, and Grandpa does, so he’s cooler. Plus he has a movie.”
“That movie’s a bunch of made up stuff, none of which is true” CJ said, suddenly grumpy.

“Mom, who would win in a race between Grandpa and the Flash?”
“They both move so fast, I bet nobody could tell.”
“What’s the heaviest thing that you’ve seen Daddy lift?”
“A skyscraper.”
“Where’s the fortress of Solitude?”
“Grandpa and Grandma’s house in Metropolis.”
“Do you think that Batman will ever have a movie?”
“If he does, I’m not going to let you see it until you’re a teenager.”

“You have kids?”
“Three,” Clark answered quickly. “And five grandkids, if you can believe it.”
“I absolutely cannot,” Spencer answered. “What, did you start when you were five?”
Clark gave a sly smile. “Thirty. Guess they just kept me young,” he said.

“I’m…fine,” he said. “Feeling normal, I guess.”
Nice ending scene.
