I don't want to go to Gotham this weekend. So, we probably won't.

[fever_crusade]

...

What's changed?

[imthehalibut]

I don't want to go. Simple as that. If Grace stays in Metropolis I'll know where she is.

[fever_crusade]

It's not simple as that, Clark. Why wouldn't you know where Grace was if you were in Gotham together?

[imthehalibut]

...You don't want her to go. Why are we arguing?

[fever_crusade]

Because I don't understand, and I think there's something you're not telling me.

[imthehalibut]

There is nothing I'm not telling you. She could still go with Lois. I just don't want to go to Gotham this weekend.

[fever_crusade]

How can you want to go somewhere and not want to go somewhere, just like that?

It isn't like you to let someone down without a good reason, Clark. Especially not your sister.

[imthehalibut]

It's not...letting her down. OK, it's kind of letting her down. I don't know. I can change my mind. It's very possible for me to change my mind.

I was talking to Lex.

[fever_crusade]

Backing out on plans is kind of a let down, sweetheart.

I...Clark, you were talking to Lex?

[imthehalibut]

Maybe I won't then.

Yeah.

[fever_crusade]

Sweetheart, what is going on with you? Backing out on your sister, talking to Lex...

What did he say to you?

[imthehalibut]

We just...caught up. He seems to have mellowed out. Didn't mention that I had a secret. Not once.

Also superheroes. He's not a fan of Batman. Calls him a vigilante.

And not wanting to go to Gotham, it's not a final decision. Don't you just...not feel like doing something? I guess lazy isn't exactly in my genes.

It's probably just the day, mom. Of course I'd go to Gotham with Grace. Slow days just make Perry a handful. It's a slow week, really.

[fever_crusade]

Hmm. You should be careful, Clark. But I don't think I need to tell you that.

Is Perry on your back again?

[imthehalibut]

I'll be careful, mom.

Today, he is. How's operation Paris going?

[fever_crusade]

Good. This family has trust issues for a reason, kid.

Hmm. He was in a good mood when he left this morning.

Operation Paris is going smoothly. We're looking at hotels on the Left Bank.
