The Planet graced each guest with something special. Something that they can hold onto from what they left behind. And that was the power to make your room look like anything you could imagine. When Lois would wake up every morning, it felt like she was waking up at her small apartment above the town coffee shop called The Talon. It was the only thing she had left to remember. Every little detail, every dish, every furniture, was all in place.. exactly how it would be if she came back to the real thing. Even though it replicates her home, there was something about the place that made her feel... empty. She was alone.

The determined brunette did spend the last few days finding ways to go back, she even did countless research about the planet. As of right now she knew where everything was, she knew that the resort can change dramatically as well. Lois was beginning to adapt.

Right now, Lois was sitting on her sofa.. her wavy chestnut locks were nicely curled and spilled perfectly down her back.. she wore an aqua coloured teeshirt with a pair of dark denim bootcut jeans.. She was seen holding a framed picture of her and her cousin, Chloe Sullivan.. celebrating a birthday together. She smiled as that moment from the picture was coming to mind. Oh they had a blast. She also remembered how she almost lost Chloe.. and that weakened her smile.. "I am not.. going to lose you again." She said outloud with each word very direct. Her eyes started to water.. but Lois chose to fight her emotions. Lois then realized something.. what if she wasn't the only one who was brought here from Kansas? What if Chloe was wondering around the building right now was we speak? Or Clark for that matter? It was possible.. and the only way to find out was to not be couped up in her apartment. She sprung from her sofa and set the picture back on the end table.

The future star reporter grabbed one her jackets, this one being a women's trench coat due to the crazy weather.. then decided leave her apartment and face the new world again from her old one. Lois felt extremely coffee deprived. It was certainly a substitute from her other habit, which was smoking. And she was not about to ruin all of her hard work-- because she ran out of cigarettes. Lois could easily get some more, but coffee was easier. She left her room building and quickly faced the rain and wind to walk over to the next building which held the Coffee bar and internet room as well as the sitting room. Pushing the doors open knowing well her hair was dampened and tattered from the weather.. but she did not care. She instantly sat herself up at the counter and removed her coat.

"Espresso, pronto." She said quickly towards the stone golem on the other side of the counter. And it was quick.. there was a small glass of espresso sitting infront of her in the next 30 seconds. She picked up the small cup and knocked it back despite how hot it was. It burned her throat and she probably shouldn't have done that. After she swallowed it down she released a nice

"Whoo!--Hold on there Stoney, I need a grande regular with cream and sugar." The stone golem did what it was told and delivered her beverage. Caffeine was like fuel to Lois.. it made her focus more, think straighter, and certainly more alert. Lois decided to take this one a littler slower this time.. holding the hot beverage to lips.. her hazel eyes sort of looking around.. the place was a little busier due to the chaos outdoors. Hoping to see a familiar blonde, or a confused farm boy..

Two nights. It'd already been two nights, Clark realized as he slowly yawned, the shimmering fabric of his bed shifting to reveal his muscles as he stretched and finally sat upright, bare from the chest up. Turning to one side then another he slowly stretched his muscles, barely aware that to really stretch them he was likely putting enough strain on them to compact a small sized SUV. Next to him was a steaming plate of food, which he knew from last morning would likely taste exactly like his mother's home cooking, as if she herself had left it for him in his room. It made him slightly nostalgic to eat it, but on the other hand he was ravenously hungry from all the riding Katara and he did the previous day.

Breakfast finished, the Man of Steel pulled himself out of bed finally and walked to where he could take a shower, or what passed for one. Clark wasn't overly fond of the time it took to shower properly, especially as he couldn't really do it at super speed the way he could do everything else. Here though, there was some sort of sonic device that passed as a shower, and left him feeling cleaner, though he had no idea what it was. As he stepped in it began to pulse and hum and then suddenly a few seconds later he was done, smelling rather fresh, his hair devoid of any dirt. He could only guess it would fry a normal human to get in and that was somehow part of the point, but for a quick morning shower, it was worth it.

Of course, it wasn't exactly like he had somewhere to go, someone to see. He could run around this place as sure as anything, look for a way out. A part of him wanted to test the desert to see if he could find a portal somewhere. The sheer amount of ground he would have to cover would be enormous though. Searching Smallville took it's sweet time to actually get done, searching an entire world... Clark couldn't even imagine. And then there were those golem things that were lumbering about. If one of those caught him and it came down to a fight... hmm. He should have asked Katara yesterday if she knew a way to beat them.... then again, him fighting one itself might have tipped her off to the fact that he was super human.

But maybe... maybe he was being a little too cautious with that anyway. Why not reveal to everyone here that he was a Kryptonian rather than boring old Clark Kent? If they never got off of this place, wouldn't it be better that they knew him for who he really was? It's not like half of them would wind up on his planet anyway, and if they did, even if they outed him, it'd be hard to believe... especially if they had super powers themselves. That was it, he was going to find Katara today and tell her the truth about him, actually fess up to being something more than human...

But as he stepped out he realized he had no idea where Katara was exactly in this resort. He knew his room number, but where was Katara's? He couldn't exactly go knocking on doors to ask for directions... hmm.

Wandering out of the building Clark suddenly realized that he'd worn inappropriate attire for the weather today which was looking a little on the side of hurricane. His black hair whipped by the gale that threatened to nearly tear him off of his feet, he slowly fought his way into the first building he saw. By that point he was dripping from head to toe, looking rather like a soaked rat with his hair in his face, though the wet t-shirt which grabbed his pecs wasn't exactly uninviting.

It was a nice little coffee shop, just what he might have expected from this place. Plenty of seating albeit empty, a golem serving coffee, Lois looking annoyed at a table as he passed by, and on the other side there was another exit to the out-

Clark Kent stopped for a minute, turning around he saw Lois, sitting there drinking coffee, as merrily as could be, as if she were in the Talon from back home. His jaw dropped a little as he stared at her.

"LOIS?"

For some reason he couldn't exactly explain, it didn't surprise Clark Kent in the slightest that Lois was here. If there was a way at all in the universe to get into trouble, Lois Lane would surely find it. However, it did give him one small hope, that he'd never admit to her or anyone else... maybe Lana was actually here as well.

Lois did take a drink of her second beverage.. as just about to swallow it down until she heard a very familiar voice call out her name.. With an uncontrolled impulse, she spat out that coffee and it went all over the counter.. If the farmboy was a little closer, she may have gotten it all over him.. she wiped her hand over her mouth to catch some of that coffee.. even coughed a little..

"Clark?!" It was very rare that Lois would call Clark by his name and that was only during serious matters.. when it wasn't.. her usual name for him was Smallville. She quickly stood from her stool and walked towards him looking at him to make sure he was real before she reached up for a hug..

"Oh my god. It's actually you. You're here too." She really couldn't believe it.. it gave her hope.. Hope that she will even see more of her friends and family. She stepped back.. "I have not the slightest clue how I got here. Do you know how you got here? It's like I stumbled in on a dimented version of Wizard of Oz and Twilight Zone." She tried not to let her eyes water but it hard and those hazel eyes were glossening.. still could not believe she was looking at Clark. She imagined seeing Clark or Chloe or even her Dad or sister.. but this time it was real.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see you here, Smallville." She willingly admitted. Despite how they can drive eachother crazy and find eachother very annoying at times.. He was always a friend to her. She brushed her hand over his shoulder.. Noticing he was wearing his usual flannel plaid attired..

"I still see you think Plaid is the new Black." She said jokingly.. trying to lighten the mood up.. after all that was Lois.. and she couldn't resist commenting something to him.
