Hi Endela and Feli!
Time for one more
“This is a waste of time.”
Clark Kent looked at his partner, doing his best to hide his exasperation. She hadn’t failed to make her displeasure at this cross-country trip known at any step of the way.
That’s what he gets for not telling her the truth. Grumpy Lois complaining about the nuts served in the economy class instead of a happy travel companion nestled in his arms.
“I just don’t see how some detective in Los Angeles can help us find out who The Boss is in Metropolis, Clark.”
What’s his game? He already knows so he must believe that Det. Decker has some irrefutable proof.
CHLOE:
My partner, Lucifer, he looks at people and says they are guilty.
LOIS:
That what my partner does, too!
CHLOE :They usually turn out to be guilty.
reminding her that Carl ‘The Artist’ Stephens had been linked to at least a dozen murders and had long been suspected of being an enforcer for The Boss
Lookie there…
Oh boy, considering they both played Clark Kent
He didn’t often dislike people on sight, but apparently there were exceptions to every rule.
Well, to be fair, Cain, Luthor…
“A civilian consultant? Isn’t that unusual?” asked Lois, ignoring Chloe’s question to satisfy her own curiosity.
Well, no more so than Metropolis’s own Det. Kate Beckett with her civilian consultant Richard Castle.
“Oh boy,” Chloe muttered under her breath. As she expected, Lucifer practically ignored Kent, holding out his hand to Lois.
I do wonder what will happen when a celestial creature and the devil touch.
Lois froze for a moment, wide-eyed as she realized what she'd done. She snatched her hand back and set it on her hip. "Lois Lane, Daily Planet," she snapped out. "This is my partner, Clark Kent."
Oh look, now Lois has *four* crushes.
LOIS: Excuse me?
Well, Superman, Lex, Clark, and now Lucifer.
LOIS: *Clark*? I mean, that’s ridiculous. I don’t have *any* crushes.
The bruising, the injury to the back of his head, they could have been accidental.”
Yes, he could have been frolicking with the fairer sex and had an accident with the headboard.
LUCIFER: You wouldn’t believe the number of guests I’ve had to entertain due to this particular situation happening.
“I know the drill, Detective. I was doing this while you were still making teen movies,” commented Lois snarkily.
Ooooh, burn. Although, umm…there’s a timeline issue. Lois is in her fifth year as a reporter, Chloe was already a uniform ten years ago, considering Trixi’s age, so, Hot Tub High School was twelve-ish years ago? This means, Lois saw the movie with her friends in middle school.
LOIS: So? I was also investigating the Case of the Mystery Meat. Turns out it was tofu.
and as she’d long feared, Hot Tub High School was never going to stop haunting her.
That, and the Internet never forgets. Especially movies where the lead gets naked.
“You don’t know that, Lois. Look, you saw the file. These two have the highest arrest and conviction rate in the precinct.”
They could actually get that by forging evidence.
“Did you read the same file I did, Clark? She’s a former B-list actress and he owns a nightclub!
B-list? Wow, she’s generous, isn’t she? And Lois hasn’t even seen Lucifer naked, yet.
She didn’t normally react to any man that way- with Superman being a notable exception- and if she did find a man attractive, she was usually much better at containing it.
Hey, what if this Lucifer Morningstar is the secret identity of Superman? That would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?
“What is it you truly desire? What’s your darkest fantasy?”
“I want-“
Prima Ballerina.
“I want my wife to stop sleeping with her boss.”
“I thought you didn’t understand jealousy.” She gave him a puzzled look.
“Yes, well, things change,” he replied with a flick of his eyes towards her.
Her ex-husband shook his head, stalking angrily off down the corridor. Her jaw tightened and she gave an annoyed snort before turning back to the interview room. First Pierce, then Dan, and now she had to go look after Lucifer and a pair of reporters.
“Great.”
Very cute erm good setup!
