    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to matter. He was just another new reporter. Quiet, competent, weirdly polite.
    Lois Lane clocked him in five seconds and dismissed him in ten.

    Until she didn’t.

    Because Clark Kent always seems to know when she’s about to spiral. He remembers her coffee, her schedule, the fact that she forgets to eat lunch. He’s clumsy and soft-spoken and too damn sincere.

    And when he’s not there, she notices.
    And when someone else makes him laugh, she notices that too.

    Lois isn’t sure what to do with that.
    But it’s becoming harder to ignore.

    Summary

    Joel sounds a thousand miles away. “Ellie? Are you listening? I said, don’t you *ever* do that again.”

    Well, she thinks deliriously, that won’t be a problem after all.

    “Ellie, what—?”

    It feels like she has no control over her body anymore, like it’s someone else who is extending her arm, pulling back her sleeve, and exposing a ring of broken skin. She hears Joel stop breathing when he sees it too.

    She's been bitten.
    ________

    AU where Ellie is already traveling across the country with Joel when she gets bitten.

    Summary

    He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.

    The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.

    “This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”

    “Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”

    He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.

    This is his second hint.

    Summary

    Peter is caught, half way in his spider-suit when Mr. Harrington walks through the door.

    Peter stares at him, eyes wide. Mr. Harrington stares back.

    “I, uh, there’s an attack downtown and I..?”

    “Go,” Mr. Harrington says with all the exasperation of teaching a high school vigilante and, in turn, breaking just about every single school rule there ever is. “I’ll cover for you.”

    “Please tell Ms. Warren I’m sorry about missing her test next period and that I promise I’ll—”

    “Peter,” Mr. Harrington says. “I’ll handle the academics. You go save the world.”

    also known as: sometimes a family is eight high school decathlon team members, their teacher, and Spider-Man.
