Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

Part of the crew might be gone, but life on the ship goes on. In fact, new people have woken up and, eventually, they've been spat out into the mess hall.

Maybe it's better to introduce them to some of the worst aspects of ship life first, right?

Anyway, the word is out that there's new people, and someone should probably go say hello. Before the n00bs mistake the glop for crew.

Superman's eyes grow wide. "You're...defintely not the Lois I know. I didn't meet Lois until I started work in Metropolis about five, six years ago."

He was starting to look awkward. "I'm not your Clark, Lois."

Lois feels a bit crushed, as the prospect of being stuck here with Clark was a bit better than being without. Clark may be a big dorky farmboy, but he's still there for her. She likes having back-up, and admittedly, Clark's saved her behind from these things kinds of things before.

That, and she kind of loves the guy.

She folds her arms.

"Okay, this is weird. What does that even mean, I'm not your Lois? Somewhere out there is another Lois and Clark and they're sort of the same, but still different?"

Clark scratches his head. "This ship, not only pulls people from different worlds, but different universes. There's...thousands of them. With thousands of different earths. And many of them have different versions of us."

"Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special, Smallville. You let me push you around in thousands of universes? Cool. But that seems a bit too far-fetched, even with this."

She gestures around the room. It's a bit aggravated.

"Fine...don't believe me." Clark finally says. "Keep me posted as to how your search for the truth goes."

He then flies straight up, waving.

That was totally unexpected. Lois looks up and steps right back, so taken off-guard that she almost stumbles. Did that seriously just...

Her voice even lifts a pitch.

"Oh my GOD... CLARK?!"

Her heart is hammering.

He flies back down to about two feet from the ground. "Yes, Lois?"

He thinks to himself: How many e's are in speechless?

[morewildcherry.livejournal.com]

She backs up. And tries to think of something to say. And points a finger at his feet, utterly speechless.

"You flew–– you're FLYING."

"Yes, Lois, I am. We have a lot to talk about, but not here."

It may be mucking with her own time stream...or she may wake up thinking she's dreaming. He shouldn't do this.

But he misses Lois. Even if it isn't his own. "When the meeting's done, answers. Right now, you should pay attention to what's going on, so you're not behind the curve when you start investigating everyone. Because that's what you do."

Heart? Hammering.

She nods, awkwardly, still staring.

"Okay," she says, and then kicks herself into gear. The questions are spinning in her brain, trying to put the pieces together. Was it just this Clark or was her Clark like this too? Oh god. Oh god.

"Meeting. Right. And everyone who's known me for five minutes knows that's what I do. Right."

This is all moving really fast.
