It doesn’t seem like it should be possible, given all that he’s been through, but aside from what happened at his memorial, his temperament is the same. She’s still amazed that she was able to get through to him that quickly, that she had that kind of power, but she also supposes that Bruce called her the big guns for a reason. Not that she would ever try to control him, not for good, but she’s glad that she could keep him from doing something he may have regretted later.
Things settle back into a bit of normalcy between them once the battle with Steppenwolf passed and the focus changes from saving the world to getting Clark back into the world. He spends months on the farm just acclimating to his life and helping his mother, but that only lasts for so long before he starts to get fidgety, needing something to do with his time beyond staring into corn fields. Which is what leads to him handing her several sheets of paper for her to read. She glances up at him, and raises her eyebrows curiously.
“What’s this?”
“The Smallville Gazette takes local submissions sometimes.” Clark gives a small shrug as he scoops up her legs so he can sit on the couch, before letting her stretch them across his lap. “Figured it might be a good way to start shaking the rust off.”
Her head tips to the side curiously as she glances down to read. “You thinking of going back to the Planet?”
“It would make it a little easier than having to fly out and get you every night,” he smirks. “And I’ll have to figure out something to do with my life eventually. Might as well stick to what I know.”
Bruce had backstopped Clark’s entire life as part of his penance for the crap he pulled and while Lois is grateful, she knows that eventually people are going to start asking questions. That’s a problem to deal with later, however. For right now, she’s just glad that Clark seems ready to start moving forward.
“You could go back to working on an oil rig,” she teases helpfully, grabbing her pen off the coffee table as she starts to proofread with earnest. “That was a good look for you.”
“That doesn’t really solve the proximity problem though,” he replies, giving her a bit of a look at that, one hand coming around to brush against the crook of her knee. It’s the little touches she’s missed the most, more so than the superhero and the strength that came with that. Superman may have had the heart of the world, but Clark was the one who always had hers. “I would rather fall back on a former career that would allow me to stay close.”
“Fair enough.” She makes a few notes, before she circles a word and he frowns.
“What’s wrong with that one?”
“Malaprop. I think you meant something else.” She scribbles that note in and he sighs, then nods. Clark switching words had been one of the subtle signs that he was still recovering, but thankfully there weren’t many of those. She finishes up to the end of the article, before nodding her agreement. “Not bad, Smallville. But let’s get a few more articles under your belt before you head back to the big time.”
“Fair enough,” he sighs as he leans back against the couch. It’s not exactly what he wants to hear, and she knows that, but some things need to be taken one day at a time. And while Clark Kent may not be actually dead in the real world, he still died. Not everything is going to be perfect.
“Hey,” she says softly, moving a bit so that she’s straddling his waist, sliding her arms around his neck. “You’ll get there. I get that you’re used to being invincible, but some things take longer to fix.”
He nods for a moment, one hand coming to rest against the small of her back. “I just want my life back.”
“You’ll get it,” she nods with a small smile, before leaning in to kiss him gently. “And until then, I’ll just take advantage of the fact that I have a handsome live in boyfriend who likes to cook me dinner in exchange for funding his lavish lifestyle.”
He laughs a bit at that, using the hand against her back to pull her in closer. “Oh really? So that’s all I am to you. Just some convenient boy toy you keep around because I’m pretty?”
“You are very pretty. I’m just saying it’s a really good deal for me.”
He laughs again, and the sound is so refreshing and new after so long of feeling alone that she intends to make terrible jokes for the rest of forever, just as long as she can hear it. “Guess I better start earning my keep.” He starts to make like he’s going to get up, and she shakes her head a bit, before leaning in to kiss him again.
“I’ve got a better idea.” The kiss is one that’s intent on convincing him that he should just stay right where he is, and there are other activities that they’d be better off pursuing, and when she pulls back, she can feel him smile against her lips.
“Well. Far be it from me to say no to that.”
