Perry released a breath. “You are going to have to tell Lois one of these days about her roommate’s condition.”

“It’s on my list of things to tell her.”

“Yeah, that list is getting pretty long, isn’t it, Clark?” Perry stared at him with a raised brow and his lips pressed together. The Chief wasn’t happy about him keeping his identity a secret from Lois either.

“Not you too, Perry. Cat’s threatened me with demotion if I tell her.” Clark sighed, then changed the subject back to Lucy. “We’re just lucky Lex didn’t realize…” He shook his head, cutting off the end of his sentence.

“That he didn’t recognize Lucy?”

Clark nodded, keeping his eyes on Lois, sitting at the table on the other side of the room. He had forgotten that Lucy had told Perry about having known Lex personally.

“Have you had your blood pressure checked recently, Clark? I can’t believe you put those two together as roommates.” Perry shook his head and laughed quietly. “You’re a braver man than I am. That’s all I can say.”

Clark glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. “What do you mean?”

“What if Lois finds out about you and Lucy?”

Clark’s eyes flashed to Perry’s. “I have no idea to what you are referring.”

Perry chuckled. “Sure you do.”

Clark cleared his throat. “Really, sir, you have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“I don’t? Hmmm. So, that wasn’t you who drank all my good Scotch on Thanksgiving and poured his heart out to me?”

Clark grinned with embarrassment. Guilty. “Nope. Must have been that super hero guy. He likes to dress up like me and play practical jokes on my friends.”

“You’re playing with fire, Clark.”

He didn’t catch Perry’s meaning.

“You shouldn’t be within fifty feet of that girl and we both know it.”

Clark sighed. “She told you.”

“And you dress like a bag lady, too!”

“Lola isn’t chunky and she wouldn’t be caught dead in an outfit like that.”

It made no sense. How could he be jealous of himself?

She was free to flirt with other men. He just didn’t have to like it.

“Mr. Kent, it’s Security downstairs. A gorgeous woman is on her way up to see you. We couldn’t stop her. She just stormed her way past us.”

“Clark Kent! Where the hell are you?”

“Lois,” Clark gasped, focusing his attention on the woman bearing down on a scrawny copyboy with glasses. Only this Lois had her sight back. That was what Lucy had been grinning about.

“Oh, crap,” he heard Lucy whisper. “She got loose.”

“You lied to me, Clark Kent,” she said pointing at him.

“You said you were nothing much to look at,” she replied, her lips pressed together in anger

“What can I do for you?”

“Where’s my stuff?” she snarled.

His editor was enjoying this more than a saucer of cream.

“Lola?” Jaxon said, shock in his voice.

“Not now, Jaxon, I’m talking with…” Then she stopped, her back going ramrod straight, her eyes growing wide.

“I work here, Lola. I do the website and help out in research. Father is going to be so glad to know I found you. He’s been worried sick.”

“Jaxon, you know that your father kidnapped me and held me against my will for over three years, right?” She spoke to him as if he were a little slow.

“You!” Lois pointed at Lucy. “First, my apartment, now my desk? Clark, she’s trying to steal my life.”

“Now I know why she was keeping Superman away from me the other night. She wasn’t trying to protect his image, she wants him for herself. Well, she can’t have him. He’s mine.”

“Oh, my God! Clark. Sorry. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything. Nothing happened. I promise. I just have this huge crush on him and I can’t keep my mouth shut. He’s just so gorgeous in that blue suit of his and…”

“Because I certainly can’t live with her.” He laughed. “My girlfriend would not approve.”

Lois stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, her jaw dropped.

“So you’ve got a new girlfriend. Why is this the first I’m hearing about her?” There was an edge to her voice. Was she jealous? Of Clark Kent’s girlfriend?

“I would have liked to see that bidding war.” She smiled. “So, how much did you go for, handsome?”

“Enough about me.

A dark town car pulled up and two men jumped out and dragged her into it. “You’re coming with us, Mrs. Luthor,” one of the men grumbled.

There was something cold in his eyes she had never seen in her Lex’s eyes… She shook her head.

“And fourthly, SUPERMAN HELP!” Lucy yelled, before the thugs grabbed her and covered her mouth with tape.

See? He's learning.

Well...actually...hasn't she switched to...ah...

Oh boy. So, will they make Lucy head-researcher, now that Jaxon has mysteriously lost his head at the 3rd vertebra?

Is he that good or is he that bad?

You do realize that there was a time you made us like her, right?

So, she's boinking Superman and crushing on Clark Kent?

Couldn't Clark just wiggle the globe loose when Jaxon exits the building and let an accident happen?

Hoping that two magnets cancel each other out?

Does he really think it's a good idea to anger the pregnant lady with the half-on superpowers? Might be bad for any future offspring.

/sigh/ He really should have taken a moment to weld the doors shut or throw the car into orbit, drop Lucy off at home, come back and catch the car, deposit it at the precinct and head back home. 30 seconds do not make a difference at this point. Or, at least, go after the car again...

Being that he's Kryptonian, Clark isn't "old" at 30 therefore can still learn new tricks.

So, Clark is the shoot the messenger type guy?

Yep. So, she has depth, huh.

Nah, he might get blood on it and that would be a creepy logo for the DP, a bloody globe.

Or together they make an extra strong magnet. Oh, wait, that's Clark's nightmare.

Lex has too many children already.

When it's about Lois's health, even 30 seconds is too long for Clark.
