Something happens to the base. It's compromised somehow, and they can't stay there. M'gann goes off with her Uncle, but SB can't stay with Clark, since he's still awkward about it, and it's too long term to crash with Wally.

So Bruce goes and wheedles Lois (who here knows who Clark is), and would you look at that, Superboy has someone who actually gives a crap who doesn't wear a mask! And teaches him important life skills, like how to throw yourself out of windows like a boss to get interviews, and the correct way to interrogate people.

Because Lois Lane is A BADASS and deserves representation on Earth-16, yo.

I gotta say, I sort of dislike Lois, but you make her sound like a boss. I wanna read this. XD

It would be interesting to see if Superboy takes those life skills and applies them to Superman.

Sometimes Lois thought she should take up a safer occupation. She could be an accountant, or maybe one of those nutjobs who knit sweaters for dogs. She could combine the two and do taxes for pomeranians ( ... )

“What do you mean -” Lois began, and that’s when the explosion rocked the highway. She slammed on the breaks and just narrowly kept from hitting the car in front of her ( ... )

“You’re going to need a name,” Lois said later, standing in the doorway to her kitchenette.

“I’ve been fine without one,” Superboy replied, arms crossed. He was wearing the only men’s shirt Lois had in her apartment - Clark’s, unsurprisingly, one of his terrible old sport shirts that were a little too tight on him. It hung on Superboy, too big in the shoulders, and he seemed uncomfortable in it.

“Really?” Lois said, crossing her arms, and Superboy shifted. “Don’t you want one?”

“No,” Superboy mumbled, eyes downcast. “Yes. Maybe - I don’t knowThe shout rang out loud enough to echo; it was a good thing her neighbors already hated her. The new dent in her wall - well, nothing a photo or two couldn’t cover up ( ... )

Clark took one look at Conner and attempted to hide behind the nearest desk. He kept edging around corners, furtively avoiding eye contact and knocking things over. Lois hadn’t exactly believed it (how could Superman be afraid of one teenage boy?) but Batman had been completely right; the fact made her grind her teeth a little.

At 11:05, Lois sent Conner to get her coffee. The fact that Clark was by the coffee pot at the time was only a plus.

At 11:07, the copy machine was no longer functioning. Clark had tripped over it in his attempt to escape. (Fortunately the Planet suffered major damage about five or six times a year, if they were lucky, and no one really batted an eye at a smoking copy machine.)

At lunchtime, Lois kicked open the restroom door.

“Lois!” Jimmy shrieked. He zipped up, horror written all over his face.

She jerked a thumb towards the door.

“Out,” she said.

“But -” he tried. “This is the men’s room“Out!” Lois said. She stood silently by while he washed his hands and slunk out the door, shooting her sad puppy ( ... )

“Clark, I want you to think about what brought you this incredibly shameful moment.”

The Lois Lane version of "Look at your life; look at your choices."

BRB LOLING FOREVER

I almost, almost wrote that. It was my placeholder for the entire scene -- in my notes it was the "Look at your life; look at your choices" scene because what else are you going to call a scene where a grown superhero eats his lunch in a bathroom stall to hide from a teenager. :P

“He wants to know you,” Lois replied. Clark said nothing. The corner of his mouth twitched downwards. Lois sighed, “You know what, Clark, forget it ( ... )

“Mr. Kent won’t look at me,” Conner said suddenly over takeout (Thai, his choice, after rifling through Lois’ takeout menu drawer for the better part of half an hour).

“Is that so?” Lois asked around a mouthful of noodles.

“Except when he thinks I’m not looking,” Conner said, frowning. “Jimmy says he’s kind of shy.”

“Some people are shy,” Lois replied. “Pass the chicken?”

“Jimmy doesn’t have superhearing,” he said, handing it over. His frown turned thoughtful. “Those glasses aren’t as good a disguise as you think.”

Lois couldn’t help it; she set her chopsticks down and threw her head back laughing.

Subject: Is he adjusting okay?

The body of the e-mail was blank. Lois raised one eyebrow. She pushed her chair back her from desk, leaning around the partition until she could see Clark. He smiled sheepishly and waved at her. She rolled her eyes.

She fired back a quick reply: Fine, aside from the fact that my home computer is now plastered in cat macros. You could ask him ( ... )

Predictably, on Thursday, everything went wrong. Thursdays were like that.

She was standing in front of what had been large windows, before the bullets had shattered them. Now they were gaping holes, and the early spring air made her shiver more than the rows of armed guards staring her down.

Conner bared his teeth, fists clenched, standing in front of her like a shield. She wasn’t sure if he was as bulletproof as Clark, and she didn’t intend to find out. Lois caught him by the elbow.

“When I say jump,” she hissed through her teeth, “you jump. No questions.”

He didn’t seem happy about it, but he nodded shortly.

The guards parted, and Victor Capricorn, CEO of Capricorn Industrial stepped through. Capricorn Industrial had started out in Gotham, somehow managed to not be blown to smithereens or otherwise utterly destroyed by the two million or so supervillains lurking in those alleys, and recently made the move to Metropolis. Honestly, Lois wished Killer Croc had gotten him ( ... )

She jumped, and Conner jumped after her. He grabbed her and pulled her close as they fell ( ... )

Anon, this is AWESOME. I had hoped it was finished when I saw you start posting it all in a chunk and then it was! I love your Lois and Clark hiding in the bathroom and Connor's super hearing and thinking of Lois as his mom.

This was awesome!
