Twelfth flight - video

[ Clark hasn't appeared on the network for a while now, but when he appears he's smiling, and rightly so, pushing his glasses up his nose. So awkward. ]

Wedding preparations are in full swing. I always knew it was going to be hard work, but I didn't realise just how much there was to do. It seems like there isn't enough time in the day any more. All the time I'm spending on the phone to florists and caterers, you'd think the phone company should be paying me.

It's stressful sometimes, hard to find time to shoehorn the romance in--and wasn't that the whole point in the first place? I don't suppose anyone has any tips? How do you make time for sleep, let alone your poor neglected fiancee?


[ Of course this post is a cloak so that he can get in contact with Cass and Tim. ]

We need to talk. You both know your way into the cave, right? Meet me there just before evening sirens.


Private to Conner Kent

You're family. There's something I need to ask you.

[ This is hard. Much harder than he makes it look. ]

It's a little hard to get married without a best man. If... If things don't change, do you think you could-- [ He's still clinging to the hope that Bruce will come back. ] Stand in for him?

[There is a long long long long silence because Conner is stunned. He eventually manages to get one word out.]

Me?

[ He gives him the moment, and a nice long pause afterward, then leans forward. ]

I can't think of anyone better for the job, can you?

But - I mean - why me? I get that we're family but you - I just got here and you've been here longer and are you sure? You can't think of anyone else you'd think could do a better job? Because don't get me wrong, I'm honored you're asking but... me?

Because even if you think we only just met, there's a lot more to you than meets the eye. You're my future, but you're also the future, and at the same time you're a part of my past. You're the friend I lost.

It means something to me, please believe that. And it'd be an honour to show you how much.

[kryptonianclone]

Well how can a guy say no to that?

[Private]

[kal_el]

I hope they don't? Is that a yes?

[Private]

[kryptonianclone]

Definitely yes.

[ His smile is honest and huge. ]

Then it's done.
