“Ellie, how many times have we told you to be more careful?” Lois implored.
Lucy let out a terrific snort, and all heads turned to look at her. “Sorry,” she blushed as she tucked her body against her large husband for protection.
“The information Dr. Winslow gave Kaylie was incomplete,” Ellie defended. “I needed to find out more. And we were really careful!”
“That’s something I haven’t heard before,” Clark muttered sarcastically under his breath.
Lois frowned, concentrating on Fleming’s face. Then finally, something clicked for Lois. “Mrs. Cox?” She asked incredulously.
Seriously? Be careful, Lois. Talk about a woman with a vendetta to settle...
I stood and watched them for a moment, dumbfounded. Earlier today in the lab… so *that’s* what I had been walking in on. Duh. Why hadn’t I thought of it before? Early prejudices based on what I had seen before? But Jon didn’t remember that from before… “Did you know about… about this?” I asked him, gesturing wildly at the pair.
Can we say Clue x 4?
“Did I ever tell you that whenever I use my heat vision, I think back to the first time you taught me how to use it? It’s true. I always see this pan of water sitting on the ground in the barn, and I hear your voice coaching me. And when I’m Supernova, it’s like you’re along for the ride. And that’s how I remember you.
Awww, Jon's speech was really touching. I know it's cliche, but I'm glad he realizes his grandfather isn't really gone. He'll always be in the memories.
“Well, I don’t know about all the other stuff, but I’ll have you know that I am half alien.” He leered comically towards me. “And I’d be more than willing to take you to some far-off distant place any time you please.”
And the worst pick-up line ever goes tooooo....
Aww a very happy ending. Thank you for writing this story! I look forward to more pieces from you.
