I’ll still buy you dinner. I’m glad it wasn’t Lex, anyway. We could ask Alan to join us in a celebration in his name. He’s looking after you, don’t panic. Be honored or something.
I have next Thursday free-ish. If you’re free, think of a place to go and I’ll call Alan. Don’t worry, B has everything but Superman’s copyright under control.
I wanted to kill Hal and Dinah at the meeting. Was it just me?
I’m off to bed. Later,
B.

Morning sunshine!
I think I can free up my Thursday, so it sounds like a good day to me. You’re such an Alan fanboy; if I didn’t know better from the BBB, I could almost tell you’re all starry eyed. Call him and we’ll celebrate his greatness so you can stare at him full of puppy love. Or ‘professional respect’, as you call it :)
I wasn’t especially annoyed at Hal and Dinah tonight, though there are some issues going on there. Roy can take care of himself, and they know it, but they can’t help but worry. You would do the same if it was Dick. Actually, that’s what you do all the time, so shut up.
>> How can I ignore the mind control when you always try to kill me? Honestly, we got to talk about that.
…I am sorry!! You have a magnet for it! I don’t mean to get mind controlled, you know. I’ve been working to strengthen my shields, but you know how it is. Short of having J’onn forming a bubble around my mind 24/7, I might be doomed to being someone’s stupid puppet every now and then. I seriously don’t know why I fixate on you…
You have to show me which watches are better than mediocre sex. I might need some. I just decided it is pretty weird that I do know what kind of things you like. Of course, being poster boy for Filthy Rich Metrosexual Playboy does kind of make it easy to guess. I like simple clean lines too, and I usually like what you wear, but I would prefer them a tad warmer. Might have something to do with color shade or texture…
Am I discussing texture with you? Your oddity is contagious!
Also, I wasn’t about with the Guyness, but it isn’t like you had such an awful time. Everyone talks about how much fun the team used to be back then. I wouldn’t call last night’s meeting ‘fun’. Have you heard anything from Tora?
I better get back to work. Talk to you later.
Clark.

Morning? Sunshine? You are out of your mind. I don’t do sunshine and I don’t do mornings. Also, I specially don’t do puppy love (????),Clark. Of course I respect Alan, and I do look up to him. He’s Alan freaking Scott, you said so yourself, no one wants to disappoint Alan. It’s not puppy love and it’s not starry eyed glances. It’s not my fault you have no sense of awe left in your heart.
Shutting up about the Dinah/Hal-Roy. I hate you when you’re right, but it is still annoying. That’s why these meetings are one hell of a bore, unlike the ones you missed. Not that they were all fun, but no one was afraid to just go at it and deck someone else. Lots of walking on eggshells these days. …guess that’s mostly my fault.
Also, you know. We had Ted and Michael.
I am very good at depressing myself early in the morning/noon!
>> I might be doomed to being someone’s stupid puppet every now and then. I seriously don’t know why I fixate on you…
But does it have to be every Thursday, Clark? Does it? Also, are you getting mind controlled this one? Because maybe we should change the dinner to the weekend, after the effects are gone and we have made sure I will survive the beating.
>>I might need some.
Oh, really? Why, Clark, leave it in my hands, I can definitely get you some.
Anyway, I’m thinking there’s a small possibility that you fixate on me because it’s the fastest way to get me working on a way to fix you. Now, how would that be accomplished with me being out of commission for weeks, I have no idea, but it’s better than contemplating the hordes of suppressed hate you might harbor for me in other scenarios.
Babs says Tora is doing great. Might be getting back together with Guy. Lucky son of a bitch, she really did him lots of good.
I have lunch meetings and dinner meetings. You know what I hate more than meetings? Meetings that get in the way of food.
Later.

>>It’s not my fault you have no sense of awe left in your heart.
Of course compared to your adoring fanboyism I look aweless and dead inside, but I have plenty of awe left in my heart, thank you very much. I can’t believe you went for that when you’re Mr. Frosty January in the Cynicism Calendar.
Bottom line, Alan is great. Your love for Alan knows no limits. My love for Alan is measured and healthy. Unlike yours. So there!
If you would like to see more punching and decking on the meetings, be my guest. Anything to stop walking on eggshells. And it’s not your fault (not entirely, at least). We’re all overcompensating and being super-nice to patch old bridges, you included. You’re doing a very good job at it, by the way. Mostly reasonable all the time! :) Still, don’t get yourself down about it. Bad stuff happens and we all try to keep on. Things will get back to normal (?) eventually.
*rolls eyes* I will try to reschedule my mind-control Thursday for the weekend JUST FOR YOU. I can’t promise you anything.
>> >>I might need some.
>>Oh, really? Why, Clark, leave it in my hands, I can definitely get you some.
I’m not even sure what was I trying to say! I’ve been staring at that line for fifteen minutes and I want to believe I meant I wanted a good watch. I want to believe that so *bad*. Has my subconscious finally betrayed me? Could it be that my subconscious is flirting without letting me know? We might never find out.
I don’t harbor secret hate for you. We might never know what my subconscious meant with that line, but I’m pretty sure I would know if it was unbridled hate. You can put away those protocols.
I’m glad to hear Tora is doing fine. Let me know if you hear about the hookup.
Hope your meetings went fine. I have a couple of my own after work, a follow up of yesterday’s debate. But I get to be out of the office, and that’s nice. I guess it’s raining over there, but we have a very good day out here, at least I will get to enjoy it a bit out of the other work clothes. It’s a good kind of different… but I guess you know what I mean.
Talk to you later,
Clark.
