Clark Kent, dressed in his 3-piece suit and glasses, walks into the cafe and finds a seat in a booth. After ordering a coffee, he pulls out a notepad out of his briefcase that holds his Blur jacket.

Thinking for a moment he starts writing, but scratches it out and crumples up the paper.

Was he working on a story? Nope.

He was trying to find the right words for his wedding vows to Lois. And it was giving him problems.

	Oh look, the Kryptonian had a goddess silently looking over his shoulder. Silence was eating a bowl of ice cream, the spoon in her mouth as she watched him try to work. A frown appeared when he crumpled the paper. "Aw, I liked that one." Too bad it sounded garbled thanks to the spoon, so it sounded more like gibberish. Surprise! Nosy goddess was lurking!

One of the many quirks Clark loved about Lois was she often talked with her mouth full. So, he was able to make out the garbledness.

He turned around and saw Silence looking over his shoulder. He gave her a polite smile. "I don't know. Lois is such an amazing woman, finding the right words for this...to say how much I love her and want to be with her forever...No words seem good enough."

He looks down at something he wrote down before in his notes. "Have here...about she's always believed in me. How much it meant to me, and that she's so strong, but also has a gentle grace and pure heart."

He frowns thinking. "That sounds dumb doesn't it?"

Sil removed the spoon from her mouth and had another spoonful of ice cream before talking. "I like that. It sounds romantic but without the corn. So go with that." She absently swirled her spoon in the bowl of ice cream that seemed to refuse to melt. "I think if you stick with where that's going you'll be fine."

Her mood suddenly shifted instantly and her eyes narrowed, her spoon now dripping ice cream as it pointed at his face. "And I swear to the Creator, if you fuck this up, I'm going to choke you to death for a thousand years. I want at least one pair of guys happy somewhere and if I can't have it in the standard universe, I will force it in yours!"

And just like that, she was beaming again. "Oh, you should add some more romance to it. I won't say what, because the words should be yours, but romance and love is definitely key here."

"Yeah, we live in Kansas. We have enough corn," Clark joked.

"And believe me Silence. The last thing I want is to mess this up. Lois is the love of my life. My best friend. The woman I love. My companion...hm. That might work."

Clark writes down something. "I Clark Kent take you Lois Lane to be my companion forever. And with you by my side, I'll never be alone..."

"Romance...romance..." Clark thought aloud. He tapped his pen on the pad thinking. "You bring out the best in me...I feel I should say she's the Harley I've been saving up for. Kind of referencing a conversation we had a long time ago."

"Ooh. Harley reference. Nice. Aunty Sil likes." She leans over the back of the booth as she eats another spoonful of ice cream. "Since you're working on your vows, did you get everyone's RSVPs by now?" Really, she needed to know. She wanted to prepare so that they had no drama during the wedding. Someone she knew should be allowed to have a happy wedding day that actually finishes.

Drama should always be saved for the receptions. For entertainment value of course.

"Figure that'd get a smile out of Lois. She's always been there for me. Every time I was lost, she'd bring me back somehow ready to kick my ass back into shape."

He nodded. "Yeah. We got all the RSVP's. Guests are lined up. Everyone has a place to sit. Tux is ready to go. And Lois says she's got the perfect dress. I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle in it."

Barring any world catastrophes, Lois and Clark were ready to head down the aisle.

"Just wish my dad could be there."

Sil tilted her head. "Well, you know your dad will be there in spirit.. but if you want I could do a little necromancy and make it happen in the physical.. but that might lead to shenanigans and possibly some flesh eating if something goes wrong." And like she was thinking before, that was the kind of thing saved for receptions. Nothing ruined a good wedding like flesh eating zombies. They never failed to get blood stains on the wedding dresses. It was as if they targeted the gowns first.. well, second. The flesh was always first. "Plus there'd be questions and it wouldn't be permanent. But I could definitely make sure his spirit really is there, not that it wouldn't be. I mean you're his kid. I'm pretty sure he's already booked the trip."

"Yeah, you're right...and my mom is going to be there. Don't think seeing my dad as a possible zombie would be good for her."

Capitol Hill was busy right now, but his mom said nothing would keep her from seeing her only son get married. Not even the stuffy senators in Washington.

"One good thing is, since she helped me learn to fly, we can go anywhere in the world for our honeymoon. Lois still hasn't decided yet."

Well course, there was that. It wasn't that Silence had forgotten the emotional impact of having a zombie guest at a wedding, she just hadn't really considered the necromancy a real option. It had just been an off the cuff suggestion. "You should probably make sure to decide on that trip soon. Hotel bookings can go like that." She snapped her fingers and a clap of thunder echoed outside. Now it was snowing.. Sno Balls. The cakes not the actual snowballs. Car windshields were splattered with cake, cream, and marshmallow frosting as the coconut covered cakes fell from the sky. Oops.

The goddess paid no further attention to her accidental sno storm. "Who's performing the ceremony? Someone good, right? Is there anything I should know? Lois gave me a list of things to do to make it easier for you guys." A few enchanted perception filters, protection fields from outside drama, the usual things that guests like her could provide as free wedding gifts. "Do you know any available hot guys I can ogle and possibly hit on at the reception?" She had to have something for her to do...

Seeing SnoBalls fall outside Clark zipped outside and grabbed a few before they hit the ground and back to the table in a blur.

"Love these things," Clark said with a shrug.

He takes a bite of one of them. "We have Reverend Harriet Jones performing the ceremony. And please no Doctor Who jokes. She hates those."

Clark was glad they had protection. He had this nightmare of a giant planet hurling towards Earth the day of the wedding.

"We have some single guys coming. Lois was nice enough to invite her assistant. As much as he does for her, he does deserve it. Bart will be there, but I don't think he falls under 'hot guy'. Same with Xander. Might have to ask Lois if she knows anyone who's both single and hot for you. Kind of a thank you for helping us out for the wedding."

"A Reverend who knows the reference in Doctor Who." She nodded her approval. "The fangirl in me approves of this. I should show up in the TARDIS and park it outside." But then, that would kind of count as a joke wouldn't it. Damn. It's just as well. A TARDIS at a wedding might be a little odd, chameleon circuit or not.

"I've seen her assistant. He's cute in that assistant way, but he's far too waify. My existence would break his brain." And really, he was. Such a shame. Bart was a possibility, at least for fun at the reception, so she filed that away just in case. "Eh, if all else fails, I'll do something evil. Like hit on the General. That ought to worry people." He likely wouldn't put up with her antics long, but it'd be fun to see how far she could push him. "If you guys really want to thank me for the magic mojo, don't freaking get retconned out of existence. I don't think my heart or my nerves could take it."

	"It really would break his brain. But he deals with Lois everyday so I'm sure he could deal with you," Clark joked. He loved Lois with all his heart and more. But he knew how Lois could be sometimes. "Oh, don't worry. We're not going anywhere anytime soon. I still need to reveal myself to the world. Well, my world anyway."

"Yes, I'm sure he could deal with a goddess who makes it rain junk food in an inter-dimensional nexus." She finished off her ice cream and shook her head. "That's kind of a different ball game when compared to the awesome of Lois Lane."

"Well, good. No retconning for you." She tossed the bowl and spoon over her shoulder where they vanished in a puff of purple glitter. "As for making your debut, that'll happen when it happens. Fate has a funny way of making sure these things make their mark. Fixed points in time and all that."

"Nope. We get married. Its until death do us part and beyond. Death can't stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a little while."

Yes, he went with a Princess Bride reference. He fell asleep on the couch watching it after patrolling the other night.

"Just been hard to bring myself into the limelight. With the whole VRA thing. Once that was done, I went into full swing, but had to slowly make Clark Kent the disguise. But I feel my moment is coming. The day I embrace my destiny."

"I'm telling Lois to take away your Princess Bride dvd." She wasn't kidding. She was in fact texting that to Lois as she spoke. When did she get her phone out? Did it matter?

"Just don't embrace Destiny too hard. She might get funny ideas and that'll lead to a lap dance." Sil looked up from her phone. "No, wait. Sorry. Confusing the existing force of destiny to a stripper we saw at Lois's bachelorette party. My bad." She resumed texting, though really it made one wonder what she was texting to Lois now. "I never really liked the whole disguise thing. But as you can see, I'm no good at a secret identity. I'm of the motto, if you've got it, flaunt it. It tends to work for me."

	"Well, you are who you are. Silence, beautiful Goddess of the Omniverse. You're not trying to live a separate normal life aside from that. I want to be the hero I'm destined to be, but I also want to live a normal life at the Planet." He loved working there. The people were great. And he loved working side by side with Lois. "I need that secret identity." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Kiss ass." Sil replied. Well it was true. He sounded like one. She may have been a goddess but she didn't like suck ups. It was just bad form. "I was also talking in theory. I just don't like the whole idea of hiding in plain sight. I get it, but I just don't like it."

"Well if you need it, you need it." She said with a shrug. What? She wasn't telling him not to do it. Some cases had to. It simply was the way it was. She was just stating her opinion on it. Her on thoughts weren't everyone elses.
