The flight attendant brought her coffee. Black this time, with two sugars. She had had enough sugar for one day. It was so hot it was actually steaming. First Class ruled. With Lex, she traveled on a private jet – recommended, if your wife was a kidnap victim. The Daily Planet was so broke before Mr. Olsen bought it, that she always traveled coach. She wondered if she got her job back, if she would still travel coach. So, she didn’t really have much experience with First Class. So far, she loved it.

Lois stirred her coffee with the little red straw / stir stick they gave her. Then she blew on it to cool it off as she leaned across Clark’s seat and looked down the aisle to see where he had disappeared off to. Must be in coach. The First Class passengers’ privacy curtain was closed. She lifted her cup to her lips to sip, but nothing came out. Glancing down, she saw that her coffee had turned into a popsicle. Her eyes opened wide. What in the…? It had been steaming not the minute before. She pulled up the stir stick but the whole cup went with it. She glanced around to see if anyone was watching her, not that she could tell. She was going to have to melt it and fast, before the flight attendant or Clark returned. She glanced up at the ceiling at the little air conditioning fan. That was ridiculous. Those little vents were cool, but not that cool.

She went over in her mind what had happened since she got the cup of coffee. Lois had put in the sugar, stirred, blew on it to cool it down and poof – coffee-icicle. Her mouth hung open. No way! Super cooling breath was one of Superman’s abilities. How in the world had she gotten it? She glanced around again. If she had stolen that, maybe she had acquired some of his other skills as well. She closed her eyes a moment and recalled that first conversation with Perry. Strength, speed, flying, cooling breath, heat vision, x-ray vision, invulnerability and hearing. Super cooling breath, got it. Hearing? Check. Strength? Check. Invulnerability? Her brow furrowed, would that include super healing? If it did, big check.

Alright, let’s see if she could try a little heat vision on the coffee-icicle without bringing the plane down. She wrapped her hands around the little china coffee cup and then glanced around at the First Class passengers. Good, nobody was looking. She tilted down her Lucy glasses, focused on the frozen coffee and thought ‘heat.’ Soon her mug of coffee was boiling hot again. Of course, she had melted her stir stick, so she set the cup off to the side. She didn’t really need to ingest melted plastic.

“He lied to me.”

She bet he couldn’t wait to start a family of his own. When she finally told him... Her bottom lip began to shake and her eyes felt damp again. She placed a hand on her stomach. She could never tell him that she had been pregnant. He would be devastated. It would be better if he never knew how close they had been to starting a family of their own.

He knew she wouldn’t stay silent for long. It wasn’t in her genes. She actually made it four minutes, a new record.

“Oh. Right.” Clark nodded, recognizing the term. “Carry-on.”

Lois smiled. Nope, he hadn’t ever flown on a plane before. This was going to be interesting.

Could Clark really believe she was that blind? Had she been that blind?

They sailed through security. No big surprise there.

She drew in a quick breath and hoped beyond hope that Mr. Amazing hadn’t considered that the kind of betrayal that would make him fall out of love with her.

She quickly flipped through the book and then set it down, stepping away, her brain suddenly full of images from the story.

“Is it true? Is it true?”

“Is what true?” Clark asked him, hesitantly.

“Do you really know Superman?”

Thank you, Timothy. Lois grinned. Confirmation complete. Despite Clark lowering his voice, she could hear him just fine.

Oh. And you wear glasses, just like me.”

“That, I do. Not only do glasses make you see better, they make people think you are smart and listen to what you say.” He winked at Timothy.

The mother waved her son back and the father had a red face at his son’s boldness.

Now, why would he need to deny that so explicitly?

Especially, when he asked to try hers?

/twack/ /throws away broken 2x4/

Isn’t that how relationships work? Didn’t Lex help her with that, too?

Umm…/points towards Lois’s husband/

No, instead he is a philanderer.

Ooooh, this is going to be funny. How are they going to explain when he has an accident during takeoff? /imagines the soiled seat ending up in the aeronautics museum of Metropolis/

Yes, you have a selfaware, superpowered bomb onboard who doesn’t know she’s superpowered.

She will have to do something about that?

Oh boy. Which reminds me, do they *have* first class in continental flights?

/wonders if the manager will forget to charge the credit card/

Oooooooh, can we dip Lex in gold? Please? It worked great with *censored*.

Also, they keep me from undressing brunette women I live with all the time.

But it might be a great way for single mothers to make contact with Superman?

Also, it would tick off my girlfriend. And we wouldn’t want that to happen, would we?

he really has no idea, has he?

Really, Lois?

Very bad Lois. Very bad.

Say, will she meet Call-Me-Daniel?

Goody, more FDK gifts!

He didn't deny it. He said "I never said that..."

If I were Lana and Clark asked to use my tights, implying we were the same size, I'd dump him too.
