Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon (closed)
WHO: Lois, Clark, Jon Kent
WHEN: Pretty soon after leaving the snake mingle
WHERE: Rooftop of the Daily Planet
WHAT: A family reunion of sorts
[Clark is on a mission like never before, and no one is even in danger. Except for a little boy's heart, maybe.
It makes sense to do it this way. He can fly faster without having to hold back to ensure Lois' comfort and safety, and this way she can secure their housing situation while he searches Etraya for their once-and-future son. It's the most efficient way to do it. That doesn't change the fact that he wishes she were with him right now, because even if he's feeling steadier about the whole thing, Clark is still more than a little unmoored. But that can't be the priority now.
The scouting trip becomes something of a reconnaissance job. He learns the lay of the land from above even as he searches for a kid with a mop of black hair and a familiar outfit. For the most part, Clark is looking down at the streets below, occasionally using x-ray vision to look through buildings. (Because what, maybe he'll recognize Jon's bones? He'll use the tools he has available.)
It takes longer than he'd like. What, did he think there was some kind of mystical dad connection that would lead him straight to Jon? Maybe. In the end it takes well over an hour of searching at high-speed before he spots a tiny figure on the rooftop of the Daily Planet and thinks — of course.
He turns around immediately, hoping that Jon didn't see him too, and heads back to the apartment building he'd dropped Lois off at. It's considerably easier to find her inside it.]
Got him. He's hanging out on the roof of what looks an awful lot like the Planet building, if you can believe it.

You. [He kisses her again.] Pretty much exclusively. [And again.] I know I was very subtle about it, but me having a crush on you was not really a new state of affairs.
[He finds it just as funny as she seems to that he absolutely looks the part of Superman, nothing more, but is speaking mainly from the perspective of the onetime new hire who'd been in awe of the Lois Lane from his first day at the Planet.]

Eventually, she started noticing Clark could. Both hands wind into his hair to pull him into a longer, deeper kiss; she doesn't bother disguising the little sounds that tell him this is doing it for her.
... She really's felt edged today. )
Glad to eventually notice. ( She says, and now she's peppering his jawline with smaller kisses, one hand stroking down the side of his neck to hit his suit collar, then finger the edge. ) Still thought you were about to ask me out when you were working up to this.
( That hand tracing the inside of his collar against his skin brushes against front of his throat, then pulls down, skimming over his suit to rest against his breastbone, under his emblem. )
no subject
I was. Eventually. Just, this had to come first.
[It hadn't been an issue of telling her the truth about himself and asking her on a date. That would have been way too much pressure, and he'd wanted Lois to know who he was even if she never touched him. But he's glad that hadn't been the case.]
no subject
Yeah, it did. ( For his sake, and his honesty, and his integrity. For hers, and his respect of the same for her. Lois strokes her thumbs over his cheekbones, smile growing fonder, her eyes a little darker than usual. ) Thank you for that.
( For both of them. She leans in to kiss him again, another lingering expression of that gratitude, and what it allowed them to begin exploring in the aftermath. )
Though I still find myself curious about one thing... ( Murmured against his mouth, her eyes opening enough to regard what she can of his face. ) ... Exactly how do you get out of this suit?
no subject
You know, that's a well-kept secret, entrusted only to Superman's most stalwart allies.
[He walks them over to the bathroom counter, gently depositing Lois there. It's probably not all that comfortable a seat for her, but she won't have to stay there long.]
But I think I can give you a demonstration.
[Oh, he does.]
