It's been a busy few weeks. I'm moving, and looking into working at a different paper.

[Clark] Did you see that Jason is here? Our Jason. He's a teenager. In high school. The vortex brought him here as a teenager.

[Jason] How are you doing? I still want to hear about how you grew up. Could we talk sometime? Edit: Where do you want to live? We need to talk about that soon. Your father's offered... well... I don't know what to do.

	...what? He is here? A teenager? Holy moly! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm guessing you didn't see his post. I probably should've asked if you were sitting down first.

He took me flying to Germany. He definitely has some of your powers. He seems like a really great kid, Clark.

He has the last name of White but calls you his dad. And in his world my last name is Lane. I really want to know how he grew up. I don't know if he's from our reality's future or a different one.

I need to move into a different apartment since mine's too small for both me and a teenager. I'm thinking of somewhere in the States where we might start our paper venture... and I can't believe Jason is here. First you, then Jason. I can't believe it.

When you're ready, you should say hi. If you want to, I mean. I know being a father was sort of a surprise for you. And it's time to end my awkward rambling. I just can't believe it.

	Oh, wow. That's amazing, Lois! I would love to meet him, again. This is... back home, I was ready to accept never really knowing... but... I... wow. A new place? I can help with that. I will. Yes. This is amazing! A son, my son, our son... here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's definitely amazing, Clark. I thought I was cursed to be alone here for the rest of my life, and suddenly I have both of you. I intended for you (well, Superman) to be a part of Jason's life back home. But he definitely knows you're his father.

Do you know of a house for sale or are you offering to help with the grunt work? I'm thinking of staying in London since there's a school for kids with powers, but since Jason learned to fly recently, we could still live in New York, but only if we wanted to be closer to Luthor. Yuck.

I can't stop smiling. This seems too good to be true.

	This is amazing. And both, really. I know where a building has some openings, and just happened to have been bought by a man looking to be closer to someone he cared about. It's like everything falling into place. I love you, Lois. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-18 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	It is. I wish I had memories of raising him but having him here is better than not at all. You... bought a building? A house? Or with a bunch of apartments? I love you too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Clark nosecretid 2008-02-18 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	I can't imagine how this feels for you. I did. It holds a bunch of large apartments for families. I was thinking of letting it be used for low income, but there are two large suites on the top floor... and I am living in one... if you, ah, would like the other... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-18 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'll let you know when I figure it out. I... w... is one of them big enough for the three of us? Because it would be stupid to move twice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois nosecretid 2008-02-18 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Are you asking me to move in with you, Lois? And that is not a no, just a wow, I am surprised, a little. And the answers to your question and to the implied one, are yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I thought it seemed more like you were inviting me or us to move in with you. But I don't mind whoever was doing the asking.

Wait... what implied question? I... I just... thought... Jason would like to live with his dad, and... you and I eventually would... get together... we sleep together some nights anyway and it would be easier. But Jason and I could always move in next door if... we're not understanding each other. Or he could live in the suite with you. It would be just the same, wouldn't it? Right next door is the same, right? Are we talking about the same thing?

	Lois... moving in together sounds nice to me. Really nice. And I can't wait to see you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-18 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	I... I think I need to slow down and think about things. And ask Jason what he wants to do. I might be moving too fast for myself. I love you, but I need to take this at the right pace. I don't want to regret this. I need time to think. I can't wait to see you again too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois nosecretid 2008-02-18 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I... all right. Of course. Whatever makes you happy, Lois. You should do what is right for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Clark, ... oh, don't make that face. I didn't mean... Can we start this conversation over? I misunderstood something you said.

You have to understand, you saw me right before you got pulled here. But in the last 6 1/2 years, I've seen you for a month of that. One month. And I can't jump right back in to where we were before even if I want to. Everything's happening at superspeed. You may be used to that, but I'm not.

I found out about you without you being here. I found out about... how I found out and about the Fortress and about Jason being conceived without you here. Now I need to process all that for awhile with you here. I just need time. You didn't say anything wrong, you haven't done anything wrong. Okay? I got a little ahead of myself. That's all. I'm sorry. I didn't mean... whatever you think I meant.

	It's okay, Lois. There is a building nearby, probably the places there are better for you and Jason, together, really, and I will send you the link, okay? I understand. You didn't do anything wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-19 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois nosecretid 2008-02-19 02:38 am UTC (link)
	I'm fine, Lois. I was just startled. Don't worry. I will send you that link later, okay? I have to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-19 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Clark, don't do this. Don't you dare do this. I can tell when there's no emergency. Or you're finding one to go to so that you don't have to stay here and talk. We're both going to say things sometimes that are confusing or misinterpreted. Instead of talking about it with me, you're going to fly off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Now wait a minute...

Don't you dare. You can tell? Lois... there are always emergencies, 24/7. I steal time for myself when I can, when I feel I have to, but do not start to tell me I am running away.

We both misunderstood, and you aren't ready and I mis-spoke. What else is there to say, other than I understand, and I love you, and I am willing to wait as long as you need?

What do you want of me?

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-19 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Never mind, okay? Never mind. When you said you had to go, it seemed like you were pulling away because I'd hurt you without meaning to. Just forget about it. Forget this entire conversation happened. I won't keep you from what you need to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois nosecretid 2008-02-19 03:46 am UTC (link)
	I... right. I am sorry. My mistake. See you around, Lois. Connection ended. . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clark reporterlois 2008-02-19 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Clark? If you ever see this, you know where to find me when you're not angry at me anymore. I don't know sometimes why or how you can love me when I screw things up and insult you all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Where are you moving? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	reporterlois 2008-02-18 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	That... would be a good question. I'll let you know when I figure it out. [Didi] I'm trying to not panic, Didi. I think I just asked to move in with Clark but I thought he was offering and there's Jason to consider and Clark's his dad and I don't know what I'm doing. I think I need to slow things down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-18 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	Slowing down would be a good idea. Breathe. And try that over again so I can understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 02:14 am UTC (link)
	I need to move into a new place because mine is too small for both me and Jason. And Clark said he had an empty place next door to his and we had a misunderstanding about who wanted me to move in and then he said something that made me think he was thinking of the M word but he wasn't. And I panicked and now he's kind of sad and thinks he said the wrong thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Keep breathing. It was just a simple understanding. It happens. Just tell him you want to be near him, but that rushing isn't so good a thing. He'll be okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. I think I really scared him, poor guy. How have you been? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 02:38 am UTC (link)
	He'll recover. Don't worry too much. I'm good. I've been good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 03:06 am UTC (link)
	He can be real pigheaded sometimes. I'm glad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I'm very happy for you. I don't know if I've said that recently. But I saw Jason. And I know you've been missing Clark. So I'm happy for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, Didi. That means a lot. As for Clark, well, maybe hold off on the congratulations til I can keep from arguing with him. I think we lasted a few weeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 03:43 am UTC (link)
	You're welcome. Well. I'll wish you luck with him, instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 04:06 am UTC (link)
	I'll need it. I think I just screwed things up big time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 04:14 am UTC (link)
	What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 04:20 am UTC (link)
	I stuck my foot in my mouth. We had a misunderstanding and now he's not answering. I was trying to move past it and instead made him angry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lois justafriend 2008-02-19 04:29 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didi reporterlois 2008-02-19 04:37 am UTC (link)
	It happens. It's happened. I can't do anything but wait until he decides to contact me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
