They began eating and the silence stretched uneasily. "How's your shoulder?" Lois asked after a few mouthfuls.
"Fine. I hardly notice it."
"Could you feel the implant when it was there? Does it feel different now that it's gone?"
"Yeah," Clark said. "I got used to it being there, and it feels a bit strange now that it's missing."
"Has the wound knitted together?"
"Totally. There's nothing but a faint line. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow."
She wondered if he'd offer to show her, but he didn't. "And the exposure to the rods? Any lingering effects?"
"No. I can feel my strength coming back."
Lois hesitated to voice the next question that popped into her mind, but she really wanted Clark's extra abilities to be something they could discuss freely. "Can you lift off the ground yet?"
Thanks!
Corrina.
