I'm sad that this story is over, but happy because I love happy endings.
He’d waited as long as he could for them to come up with some wild — wild, but plausible — story to sort this all out and restore his newsroom to optimal working order. Perry had been worried enough for them both that Alice had been worried about him. Lois had been so broken those first few months after Clark had been shot, he’d nearly called the hero down from the skies himself to shake some sense into the man.
But over the last couple of months, Lois had an edge back to her writing and a lilt back in her step, and he’d known something had changed for his protegés. He’d started to watch her every time she headed out to wage her crusade against the defunct but Hydra-like Luthor Corp, looking for any clue to gauge whether his second-favorite reporter might come home to his desk in the bullpen any time soon. So while it surprised him to see his most precocious investigative team in his office this morning, it wasn’t entirely unexpected.
After all, he wasn’t the editor of the Daily Planet because he could yodel.
Perry knows!
It sure made their task easier.
When he finished reading through the second time, he asked Clark, “And you’ve actually been to Africa? This is for real?”
Lois jumped in to answer. “It’s for real. Chow and Nigel did everything we’re accusing them of. Lex, too. The DA’s office is going to start issuing subpoenas, if they haven’t already.” She glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s been a couple of hours since we checked in with Henderson.”
Perry had to stifle another grin.
That hadn’t exactly been his question.
“Kent,” Perry caught him nearly out the door, ”Where should accounting send your paycheck? You still at your old place?”
“He’s staying with me from now on,” Lois answered, intertwining her hand with his and pulling her partner through the door.
Awww!
And he couldn’t wait to see what was in store for them next.
Thanks for this great story!
I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
