A few questions (Lois)
Jesse was still overclocking himself. Only taking the one day off for the dinner with Dinah and Dean, the time spent since then had been continuing his deeds. Even with the City streets back on their regular routine, he felt like he was needed. Maybe it was because he'd already been doing it for so long, now everything felt kind of natural. It certainly wasn't because he'd changed his mind about responsibility.

What it all came down to in the end was that he was tired. Exhausted, really. He was back to falling asleep on Zoe. But the sleep wasn't the best. He woke up at odd hours and never seemed to reach that state of deep slumber that assured a really good rest. He was thinking too much about things, and never felt like the work was finished.

It was a growing problem, and he knew that he had to find a way to stop, or at the very least, cut back. The City was providing again. He'd made sure of that. Sending the City back the way it was supposed to be had been easy. All of it was easy, really. Just a toll on his energy. He wasn't so sure it should be so simple, any of it. Just making a decision and going with it.

Jesse was sitting in the park, half watching a game of soccer and half just thinking about these things.

"Done already?" Jesse smiled. "You can call anytime. I don't mind."

He pulled a pen and a wayward napkin out of a coat pocket and scribbled down his number. Handing it over, he wondered if it would appear in Lois' contact list without her having to do anything. If the City was still doing things like that.

"Yanno, you can use the phone, or just... call. I can hear it when people call for me."

He made a bit of a circle with his finger. "Helps with all this helpin whatnot." A new cigarette was already in his mouth.

"An' just so ya know, it don't hurt me none, talkin 'bout where I come from. Just didn't think anybody'd be interested in hearin it."

Of course he could hear people. Lois realized that she shouldn't have been surprised by that, but she was all the same. She did her best not to gape in response to the statement but instead managed a smile.

"I'll keep that in mind. Could come in handy. Especially since I seem to sometimes find myself in tight spots every so often," she said with a laugh.

She stood and nodded to Jesse.

"Thanks again. I think you'll find that people find your life story more interesting than you might think."
