Clark Kent // Open // 5

[feltalone]

[Every year on October 16, Lana visited her parents grave. Not even the chance Clark might come by would keep her away. Years beyond the day she left, it was Kara she met, somewhere between Memphis and St. Louis. To her surprise, she could get close, even touch her, without making her sick.

She didn't go back to Clark. She'd always love him, but she'd moved on with her life now, not to mention Kara could be a lot more fun in some ways. The two spent quite a bit of time together, saving lives and being on the road, but eventually Kara wanted to return to Metropolis and see her cousin.

Lana went with her, and even helped her set up her own secret identity as her niece, Linda Lang.

Today she's having coffee at an outdoor cafe, having spent a good amount of time looking at apartments for herself and Kara.

Clark is the last thing on her mind.]

...I need to suck it up and make him a journal

[thisishowwe_npc]

[Clark knew bits and pieces about Lana being on the road with Kara. Bits and pieces. Whatever Kara told him here and there. In a way he was happy for Lana, and glad that he had some idea of where she was, but at the same time he was a little jealous of his cousin. He couldn't not be. He wanted to be the one spending all of that time with Lana.

Not that he'd say so.

Ever.

He moved on, too. To an extent. He worked at the Planet, he went on with his life, and he even dated. Sometimes. Things hadn't worked out with Lois, and he had learned to be okay with that.

Now he's taking a break from work to go get a coffee. Clark Kent take a break? Yes, the world just might be ending. But he needs some room to breathe. However when he spots Lana at the very cafe he's going to, all of that air leaves him. And he stalls.

Once again he is that nervous bumbly fool he was in highschool, and he's just standing there....staring. It's what he's good at.]

you really do

[feltalone]

[She happens to look up from what she's reading and sees him standing there. She doesn't even think about it, the smile just comes. It's so good to see him, really see him, after all these years, especially when the last time she did she never thought she ever would again.

She doesn't move, just sits and smiles as she stares back at him.]

[thisishowwe_npc]

[and then at the sight of that smile, one slowly spills onto his lips]

Hi Lana. [his voice is warm and happy, he really is pleased to see her. Really.]

[feltalone]

Hi, Clark. [Her voice is just as warm.] Join me for coffee?

[thisishowwe_npc]

Okay.

[He doesn't even look at his watch or think about it, he just moves over to sit beside her. And he'll watch her some more, taking it in.]

It's really good to see you.

I was abound to come back this way sooner or later.
