Lois Lane	Lois has been fussing, ever since the other day when DC got absolutely wrecked and Mutant town was stolen from New York she has been worried. Not for herself. Not for the earth either. She absolutely believes that the heroes of earth are more than capable of dealing with this brainiac character. They've dealt with worse right. Right. Still the last time they dealt with serious heavy duty alien problems Lois lost Kal-El for a long time. Too long. So yeah she is fussing. Not saying anything yet just worried and of course Clark can tell. She has been writing stories about it. Interviewing politicians. Doing her job. And Worrying. This moment though she is at home sitting on the couch with a pint of ben and jerries ice cream.
Clark Kent	Clark has been busy. For obvious reasons, Clark has been busy. The world needed Superman at a time like this and it's unfortunate that he hasn't been there for them. He's making good on promises by being visible, at least he had been. Most recently he's just been watching. He'd let Brainiac spirit away with an entire section of New York, now the only thing he /could/ do was watch. Wait for the response from the alien threat. Wait for the worlds heroes to be called out. When he enters Lois' apartment he's wearing his normal clothes, but his glasses are set down on the counter in the kitchen where he'd left them. Gingerly shutting the door behind him and padding softly to where she's sitting on the couch. "You alright?" Of course he knows the answer to that.
Lois Lane	Lois gets that, especially since the bad guy in this case tricked the heroes and got away with something big on their watch. She understands. She worries regardless. Hell she also wonders what the future or whatever he is kid of theirs is going to do in this mess too now. Worry. Lois eats a bite of ice cream and then spoon in mouth and ice cream just in one hand she reaches up with her free hand and arm and makes grabby motions up at Clark. It may be clear what is wrong but it is also clear what she wants. She wants you down on the couch and in her arm. Even if she may have cold ice cream hands. "I'hm fihne" she lies with a mouthful of comfort ice cream.
Clark Kent	Let it not be said that Clark doesn't know who wears the pants. What Lois wants, Lois gets and she hasn't grabby handed at him more than once before he's coming over the back of the couch to lean up against her. Reaching out to take the ice cream cup from her's, he grabs the spoon right out of her mouth and scoops up a bit for himself. "You know it's going to be okay, right?" He doesn't know that, not really, but then he's always got a way of making things sounds like he's one hundred percent convinced of it. Even when there's absolutely no way he could be. "We'll figure this out, just like everything." Including their 'son'.
Lois Lane	Lois makes a mild noise of protest when the spoon is plucked out of her mouth and he also purlions the ice cream from her. "Brazen Smallville." she notes with a mock tsk of displeasure. Of course at that point she is just wrapping her arms around him and snuggling into his side up under the crook of her arm so it is around her even if he is eating her ice cream. Piracy. "I know. I mean my head knows." she admits softly. "If this was King shark or Toyman or any number of those ridiculous villains I wouldn't even be a little woried. This one though is both really smart and really alien and powerful from all appearances." She breaths in and then out slowly and sighs. "I know you will all figure it out.. and there are other heavy hitters besides you now.. so it will be okay but that doesn't mean the non-brain part of me isn't worrying some Clark. This thing lured you away or diverted you right .. it knows who you are and is worried about you. Which means it may have some fiendish plan just for Kryptonians like you and your cousin.."
Clark Kent	Clark might be brazen enough to steal Lois' ice cream, but to deny her cuddles? He's brave, not insane. The arm falls around her shoulders, spoon back in the pint and pint held back down to her while he licks at the fingers of his free hand. Taking a serious moment of consideration of what she's said before answering anything less she thinks he's leaping to his usual flights of ''heroism''. "He may well be, yes." Smart, they both know he is. "And he might know me.. but we've brains of our own here on Earth... Tony Stark, for instance.. Men with intelligence in spades." Clark is by no stretch of the imagination a stupid man, but he's not a genius either. The fact that he knows his limitations is what makes him so successful. "I appreciate your concern, Lois.. I'm not telling you not to worry because I definitely will be worried for you too, but we're not out of this fight.. heck, we're not even properly ''in'' this fight yet. He bit off far more than he could chew in this case."
Lois Lane	Ice cream required, though honestly at this point cuddles are definitely better than ice cream. Better but... right ice cream. She eats another spoonful because in for a penny in for a pint? Is that even a twist on the saying? "Which is good. I imagine all those big brains are working on taking our Satellite systems back from this alien pillager. I imagine once our eyes in the sky.. yours not included.. are back up maybe you all can get a lock on this guys ship and take the fight to him." she does have a good deal of faith that will happen. "I know you are right Clark. I'll quietly worry just maybe a bit more than I use to and do my job too. Not going to catch me hiding at home wringing my hands or anything. This is..." she considers trailing off. "It is just new and new feelings, need to figure out how to manage them is all right?"
Clark Kent	"I get it." Clark says honestly, craning up to kiss the top of Lois' head before sliding up from the couch with a smile. Leaning over the back with his hands planted on either side of her shoulders. A grin firmly in place as if the events of the world aren't weighing down upon his shoulders, which couldn't be further from the truth. "I'm going to grab a shower and ..." Head back out. Right now there's only a few people who can actually keep an eye on earth from orbit, where the threat originates. "I wanted to make sure you were okay, though. I wanted you to see that I was okay." Pushing up, hands in the small of his back. He looks like that nerdy intern from so many years hence. "I'll be back in the morning, I promise."
Lois Lane	Lois makes grabby hands again when he is slipping up from the couch and then lets her hands down. "I get it." she notes back to him. She dos too, one of the few people who does at least get to be talked to about the responsbility and has an insight into what this whole situation is doing to Clark. Most people get either Clark or Superman but she gets to see Kal-El really these days. Not that she gets having the world counting on HER mind you, so she only understands so far. "Hmm... morning huh..." she slinks up to her feet and heads to put the ice cream away. "Well if you are going to shower and dash... I'll just have to join you in the shower." is the last thing she says before vanishing into the kitchen to put the ice cream away.
Clark Kent	"Yes ma'am." Clark says with a smirk, hands still in the small of his back as she disappears into the kitchen, gently following behind her with a turn of his head. A second later and he's headed towards the bathroom, walking backwards until just before going through the doors.
