    Summary

    "Jess let out her own snort as the laugher faded in the wind. Soon, there was silence again, and she took her chance. “So, what are you two doing here? Should I go home now?”

    “Nah, don't worry. We're... doing some bonding.”

    “Bonding,” noted Jess. “Is that some kind of code word for, we're tied up and in great peril? Should I call Batman?” She couldn't help the sarcastic tone in her voice. "

    Summary

    In Beacon Hills, Stiles feels disappointed in those around him; he has been forgotten and unappreciated so many times. So he decides to take a job opportunity at the Daily Planet. However, he finds himself caught in the middle of danger. Suspicious lights and sounds in the desert at an unmarked facility seem safe, right? Wrong... The source, an alien, escaped in the last moments of its life, tackled Stiles, and transferred its soul into him. Luckily, Superman was nearby; however, he's not great at thinking, so he drops Stiles off at the Kent family farm in Smallville.

    In Metropolis Stiles tries to find himself and be in his element, along with meeting a long online friend... who looks exactly like him and works for Lex Luthor. Being more observant than some of the interns at Daily Planet, unaffected by Clark's Magic disguise glasses, and having new powers himself, he was very quick to learn Clark's secret identity. While Stiles is running with a Kryponite, his friends back home begin to realize just how vital Stiles was in their lives. They believe they can get him back with just a simple sorry... however, Stiles isn't the same as he was back in Beacon Hills.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Lex doesn't push, just drives through West Metropolis, taking all the right streets without asking Clark for directions. The radio plays something cool and distant, like love in space, and Clark rolls down his window so he can be reminded of the world outside this car.

      Clark's shabby rowhouse neighborhood has already gone to sleep, curtains drawn and the recycling at the curb. Lex double parks in front of Clark's building and Clark remembers Lex shouldn't know where he lives. But Clark's not surprised. There are probably few things he knows that Lex doesn't.

       

      "Clark, it's Lex Luthor. You don't forget Lex Luthor."

      She's walking sideways so she can see his face and she trips over a crack in the sidewalk. Clark rights her then lets go of her arm. She darts in front of him, forcing him to stop walking, and the rest of Metropolis surges around them, passing on either side of their roadblock and grumbling about it.

      "Tell me, Clark," she demands.

      Clark sighs. "I met him in Smallville," he says, leaving everything else out, the memory of Lex's scared face through the windshield, Lex's cold lips on the riverbank, Lex's amazement at still being alive, at being saved.

       

      He finishes with, "You hit me that day on the bridge."

      "Clark. Clark, it's okay." Lex, calmer than anyone in this position has a right to be. Left hand still holding Clark's arm, the other on his back, Lex is touching him like it's normal, like Lex has forgotten he doesn't touch anyone.

       

      Clark has no idea how these secrets haven't already destroyed them a million times over, but he knows it wasn't luck because Lex never leaves anything up to chance. They're here because Lex has more patience than a vengeful ice age and somewhere along the line he decided Clark was worth forgiving.

      It's more than he could have hoped for and Clark closes his eyes, weak with gratitude and all the lies he's told. "I'm sorry, Lex. I wish I could have told you earlier."

      "You're telling me now," Lex says, suddenly closer than before. Clark opens his eyes to Lex and his knifelike gaze, the flaw on his lip pale against the flush of his aristocratic skin, and all Clark can think is that he had kissed this man and survived.

       

      "You know how to find me, right?"

      "Yeah," Clark yawns, "I've got your card."

      Clark rubs his eyes, notices Lex has a goofy smile on his face, and smiles back fuzzy-headed.

      "Good," Lex says, and at the door, leans into Clark and kisses him, slow and sweet, like they'd been leaving each other for years and he still couldn't stand it.

       

      Lex slouches in his seat, putting a hand over his eyes like if he can't see the stadium, it can't see him. Clark knows from experience that never works. He pulls Amanda back down.

      "You're embarrassing Lex," he says in a loud whisper.

      "Oh no, we wouldn't want to embarrass Lex," Amanda says. The fish nips Lex on the ear. Lex bats it away with his free hand. "That's just a lawsuit waiting to happen."

      Lex is grinning beneath the shield of his hand and Clark wants to pull his arm down so the whole world can see Lex smiling, because Lex smiles more than his face lets on and like everything he does, he's very good at it.

      Below them, there's the crack of bat against ball. Amanda jumps out of her chair, waving the fish and cheering. Lex sits up, drops his hand and watches the home run fly over the fence. Clark watches Lex.

       

      "I think you've confused me with my father. I like presents," Clark says, giving Lex a pointed smile.

      Everything must sound like "drive faster" to Lex today. Clark resigns himself to hopelessly tangled hair and Lex's dangerous grin.

       

      When Clark said he'd run home, he meant it figuratively, but now there's nothing he wants to do more. He starts out slow, just a guy jogging home in yesterday's clothes, but the speed is still there, ready for him, and he uses it. Zipping through a crowd of strutting pigeons that don't even register his presence until he's gone. Practically flying across the 12th Street Bridge, too fast for human eyes to see. He still has this and if he ever loses it he'll remember this morning, remember the wind against his body, remember the blur of the rest of the world, remember what he had, but right now he's running, running so fast he makes the metal grating on the bridge hum beneath him, running so fast he leaves his fear and doubt behind him.

    Summary

    Jun gave it a thought, worrying on his bottom lip. “Fine," he sighed. "Go find a parking space. But make it quick! You need to be there. Get your camera ready, Lee.” He practically threw himself out of the car, with Seokmin hot on his heels. Wonwoo watched them disappear into the crowd.

    He was right. Wonwoo had to be there, so he, too, tumbled out of the car and onto the sweltering sidewalk. Wonwoo ducked into a narrow alleyway. His heart pounded, not just from the exertion of his hasty escape, but with the weight of the calls of people in need. With a glance around the area, he ensured there as no prying eyes from within its shadows. His secret must be kept intact.

    In a swift, practiced motion, he tugged at the buttons of his shirt as it strained against his chest. The vibrant colors of red and blue colors beneath his shirt peeked through the gap. His glasses were tucked away in a blur of motion. His shoulders broadened, posture straightened.

    Gone was the the mild-mannered reporter of The Daily Planet.

But battling personal demons and insecurites which has lead him to crippling isolation, as he struggles to find his place in the World and to ultimately accept himself
