[oh god. he stares at his phone, like what the hell am i going to say??? but he can't just let it go to voicemail, so he picks up after a few rings.]

Hello?

[loisfuckinglane]

What's the matter, Smallville? Do they not have phones in Jolly Ol'?

[clarkfuckingkent]

Sorry, it's just been an adjustment. Plus, I can't keep track of the time difference so I was worried I would accidentally call you in the middle of the night.

[loisfuckinglane]

You know that's what they have the internet for?

[clarkfuckingkent]

Really? I didn't really see you as the pen pal type.

[Did you think I wasn't going to make the same joke in the tag where he thinks she means emails??!]

[loisfuckinglane]

Clocks, Smallville. You know what, never mind. Now that I've got the elusive Clark Kent on the line, I want to hear some actual details.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Details? Lois, I'm just... giving them some insight on Luthorcorp. That's all.

[Okay. That sounds fake but okay. Bluff ... 4]

[loisfuckinglane]

That's what you've been doing for months.

[clarkfuckingkent]

You of all people know that anything involving Lurthorcorp can be complicated.

[loisfuckinglane]

Figure that one goes without saying, but why are you the lynchpin in their master plan to take them down?

[clarkfuckingkent]

I've known Lex a long time. [He says lamely, as if that explains it. Yep.]

How are things back home?

[DEFLECT DEFLECT]

[loisfuckinglane]

In Smallville, or Metropolis?

[clarkfuckingkent]

Both, I guess. [He just wants to know that his people are doing okay, mainly.]

[loisfuckinglane]

It's been a slow news summer, if that's what you mean.

[clarkfuckingkent]

I have a hard time believing you haven't found something to occupy your time. [said in an almost chiding tone like 'what trouble have you gotten into?']

[loisfuckinglane]

Maybe you're not the only one keeping a close eye on a certain Luthor. Just, you know, not from across the globe.

[clarkfuckingkent]

You need to be careful, Lois. He's dangerous.

[loisfuckinglane]

This isn't my first rodeo, Smallville. I'm being as cautious as I can afford to be.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Good. I just- if you get in trouble or something, please tell me you'll call me.
