I wonder how young ‘young’ means. I’m assuming 16-ish? And it’s Clark’s first outing into the big bad world? I wonder what he will find in Metropolis. Aside from feisty local girls, I mean.
Young enough to be unable to rent a car, old enough to make said local girls jailbait.
He’s already in college? Oh boy. This means said earlier mention of a feisty local girl is at least a feisty student body president and possibly has a huge chip on her shoulder in regards to Hicksville football rowdies running amok in her beloved Metropolis
Lois: Hey! I resemble that remark!
He does realize that in the Big City, they call it stalking if he trails after an 18 y/o high school student all day, right?
Rachel Harris: We call it the same thing in Smallville too, you know.
Clark: Oh? Then why did I catch you hanging around the farm so often?
Rachel: Security measures. All those darn cow-tippers and all.
Clark: Um...we didn't actually
have any cows...
He does realize that the corn cob museum in the backroom of Maisie’s diner doesn’t count, right?
CLARK: It’s called a ‘museum’, thus it counts.
Perry: Kid's got a point there...
They don’t have that particular exhibit in the Natural History museum?
Unfortunately not one with live demonstrations.
I wonder if Clark could read the descriptions when they are entering the room and then use that freshly gained knowledge to impress his teammate?
Clark: Maybe just a little.
Very important for navigation in the times before GPS became a readily available accessories for airborne super heros.
Batman: (smirks in a superior way as he types an address into his BatPS system)
That’s easy. Krypton has sent out hundreds of babies to inhabited worlds. Those you are not killed outright by the natives are a good indicator if the world can be considered fit for takeover.
Trask: SEE? I TOLD YOU SO!
LOIS: Of course. Football jock from Hicksville. Probably can’t read enough to find the bathroom.
Good thing the ceremonial vases are all under glass then.
LOIS: Yes. Women can be reporters, too.
Clark: (slips in puddle of his own drool)
Yeah, he’s more bone headed than meat headed.
(refrains from obvious comment)
So, they’ve both been to the Neanderthal exhibit on the second floor?
Lois: I dated the guy front and center in the exhibit.
Yeeees? Stars go boom some times.
Kinda like Clark's young adult hormones.
Actually,
things is lame excuse ground zero.
Cute one! One does wonder if he will truly remember 4-5 years later. Or if Lois will. Probably depends on if she will win a prize for her story.
Thanks! As always, I leave no door locked. If the muse wants to play with a sequel, she can. AFTER she finishes all the other things she's started.
