So, we shall not be cruel during FDK? Not even to the characters?
Which Clark – in her mind – had she been kissing? Did she even know?
Oh boy.
“You working late tonight?” Jimmy asked. He seemed stiff. Uncomfortable. Was he? Or was she just imagining it?
Yeah. Bad conscience, and all that.
Jimmy raised a brow. “Who else, indeed?”
Oh boy.
“Maybe he doesn’t trust you. Bruce Wayne is rumored to be sophisticated and handsome. Perhaps Clark’s afraid you might get swept away by his charm.”
Jimmy! Superman’s not like a common playboy. He’s just…well built.
Lois closed her eyes. “Of course, Clark trusts me. Why wouldn’t he?” If Jimmy saw something, they might as well get it out in the open tonight.
“Should he?” Jimmy asked.
Oh boy.
“Do you, really, Lois? You have a funny way of showing it.” Jimmy looked at her like she was garbage, then walked over to the stairwell.
Oh boy. Oh boy.
Lois bit her bottom lip as a tear crept down her cheek. She picked up her stapler and threw it at the boombox, silencing Elvis forever.
Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.
Oh, God. Poor CK. How would he ever be able to tell him? The man looked like he had already been slashed through the heart. Had he seen what his wife had done?
Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.
Jimmy’s eyes flashed to hers. She knew. Oh, thank God, he could talk to someone about this. “I can’t believe she cheated on CK.”
“No, she didn’t, Jimmy,” Penny stated.
Oooooooooh! She knows.
“She would no more cheat on Clark than Psyche would cheat on her husband.”
Should probably go check it out on wiki..
“You saw the lie, Jimmy. Not the truth.”
“No, I think I saw the truth for the first time, just now.”
/shakes head/
Penny turned him around and made him face his friends in the newsroom. Clark was holding Lois, comforting her. “That, Jimmy. That’s the truth.”
Awwwwwww
Jimmy pointed at them. “She kissed Superman, Penny. More than kissed him. You cannot excuse that.”
“Yes, well… That was a mistake.”
“Wait. Are you saying that Lois Lane thinks CK is really Superman?” He laughed as she shrugged. “Oh. You’re funny, Penny.” Then her words sunk in. “You don’t still want to kiss him, do you?”
Oh, Jimmy!
She shook her head. “No. I’m over him. Anyway, I only date single men.” She smiled at him.
“What? Superman’s married?” He laughed. “Like he could keep that a secret. You’re a riot.”
Penny patted his cheek.
“I can’t believe you did that to CK,” he murmured.
”What? I was frisky and he was there. It’s not my fault you where too late.”
“Everyone needs an escape every once in a while.” Bruce Wayne shrugged. “I can’t be serious all the time. What’s the fun in that?” He held up a quarter. “Want to take her for a spin, Jimmy?”
So, occupy the kid, then get down to business?
“Do you get your fingers dirty?”
“Excuse me?” She had caught him off guard with that question. He sat up.
Lois found the restroom and walked on past it. She closed her eyes and listened as she passed office after office.
Bet he wasn’t expecting that one.
What would Wayne Enterprises need with zippers and Kevlar?
Huh. Now what for indeed.
“He’s particular,” the woman said, leaning against the counter.
She knows something?
“I have nothing to hide and neither does Mr. Wayne.”
Huh.
Fun interview, Virginia! So different from Lex
