His brow furrowed. Why was Lois’s phone clicking?
Ooooh! Ooooh!

Me! Me! I know the answer! Pick me!
He glanced around the kitchen and found a camera under the cabinet above the fridge.
Oh dear. Why would someone put a camera into Lois’s kitchen? Unless…
He found another camera and several more microphones.
See? /waits for Clark to know on the bathroom door/
Clark wondered who would be behind it.
Lois is still paying off her college debt?
And, more importantly, how long had Lois been under someone’s watchful eye?
That’s not the question. He really has no idea how the mind of a creep works, doesn’t he? Never watched much TV. OTOH, in *his* dimension, they don’t even have charity auctions, so their TV must be filled with Brady songs 24/7.
, but he wouldn’t put anything past Luthor.
He figured any government agency wouldn’t videotape Lois’s bedroom

Wouldn’t it be *awkward* if he found *two* brands of surveillance equipment?
If it was Bureau 39, they would probably want to catch Lois and Superman in the act.
So to speak. Would Lois then go to jail for sodomy?
A chill crept down Clark’s spine at the thought of a possible third unknown creep watching her.
With Lois, that’s always a distinct possibility.
he scanned her bedroom, finding another camera – pointed at her bed – and several more microphones.

His eyes widened and he tipped over the pills.
Let’s hope it’s because of the bathroom.
Superman! When had been the last time they had met at Lois’s apartment?
all their intimate encounters had been on the roof, or elsewhere.
Umm… ‘intimate’? Clark really needs a ‘fresher course, doesn’t he?
Oh, God! Were they recording him as well?
No, he didn’t think so. He was sure to have discovered it if someone had messed with his apartment.

He has never read any spy stories and how they sweep the offices at least on a daily basis, has he?
Clark said, skipping over the one detail that he knew would keep her from crawling back into bed.
At least, *she* would consider checking the bathroom. But how would he explain how he found the cameras?
“I guess you can handle that on your own,”
Wait, he was talking about skipping that Menken was skipped, wasn’t he?
“The true question is, will you?” she retorted, only to get herself pulled into his embrace.
Depends. Does Lex have green K?
“Superman stopped by while you were in the bathroom.”
He did? Oh, right. So, will he tell her now? And let Lois discover the bathroom peeping?
Well, as alone as they could be with an apartment full of surveillance cameras and microphones.
And no point in telling Lois now. After all, the damage is already done.
“Be good, and I’ll tuck you in.”
Lois stared at him straight in the eyes, daring him. “And if I’m not?”
Naughty girls get the ceiling.
“I’ll give you a spanking.”
“In your dreams, Chuck,” Lois said.
And what nice dreams they are, Lois.
They are *naughty*!
Five. Twenty-Five. What’s the difference, really?
Clark kissed her forehead, and called as he walked out of the room, “See you at noon.”
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! You’re torturing us with the cameras.
It was weird dreaming of a man he had just met. Of course, his dream was more about his Clark self taking advantage of a drugged Lois before she went into surgery.
Clark stood up. “They aren’t lovers!”
Bad turn of phrase. But if it gets Lex on the Chair?
“So, why would she turn down a date with Lex Luthor to go out with you?”
She prefers her dinner to stay *inside* her body until it is digested in a normal fashion?
Clark crossed his arms, not liking that there were rumors about Lois and other, possibly super-powered, men.
No, just Preston Carpenter.
“Her taste is improving,” he suggested.
“I hear that Menken was shot with the same bullet that went through Lois’s arm.”
If it’s good enough for JFK…
Henderson’s glance shot up, and he got to his feet, crossing quickly to shut his office door. Leaning against it, he asked, “Who told you that?”
Oops? Wait. Did they actually move Menken into Witness Protection *before* Lex got to him and they managed to stage it so Lex thinks he eliminated him? Oh, Asabi is so going to lose his Christmas bonus.
“Didn’t anyone notice he had been shot before they booked him?”
/nods/
“The Metropolis Police have no further comment on the subject at this time, and I have no further questions for you,”

Henderson’s *so* playing him. BC: -1
Thinking of Luthor reminded him that Lois’s apartment was bugged.

Does that help with his priorities?
