Only one more part to go!
She runs to Clark’s bedroom and throws on yesterday’s clothes. When she gets back out, Martha and Jonathan are watching at her with fear in their eyes, and she stops, realizing that they didn’t hear what Dr. Klein said. Her sudden rush to get to the hospital could mean anything.
“He’s waking up,” she blurts, mentally berating herself for being so inconsiderate. “They’re going to extubate him.”
Can you imagine the sleepless night Jonathan and Martha have experienced? Now, they find out their son is waking up and they cannot be there for him. Ouch!
Clark’s father places a hand on her shoulder and leads her to sit down next to Clark on the couch. She sits stiffly, though to her horror she finds herself wanting to melt into his embrace. Clark easily lets his arm fall down to around her and she relaxes a fraction into his touch.
“Surrounded by wonderful women,” Clark mumbles, and looks from Lois to his mother.
Martha reaches out a hand and places it on top of Lois’. Her smile is warm and kind. “Welcome to the family.”
Awww! Home at last!
“So really, it’ll be like working with anybody. With nobody. Like working with Clark Kent.”
There it is, the fury he’s been expecting.
Even though he’s been waiting for it, it still hurts.
Wrong time. Wrong place. Fight at either Clark's apartment or yours. Not at S.T.A.R. Labs!
