Disclaimers and Author's Notes: Y helo thar community! I'm just dusting this place off with a weeee ficlet. As always, no one belongs to us; if they did, comics would be a far cuter place. Kryptonian words are from Modern Kryptonian.
Darn Lian anyway. She always brought up good questions, questions that she seemed perfectly content to put out there unresolved but that Jason desperately needed to answer. Last week's particular brain fart on the swing was one such question. Getting the answer however...
Jason needed to ask Clark. And he figured that the alien landscape of the Fortress would make talking about... it... a lot easier.
He was wrong.
"Take your time," said Clark, puttering with a few little crystals. "I can wait to hear whatever's on--"
"Can I have normal sex?" Jason blurted out.
"-- your mind." Clark blinked. "Uh. What?"
Amazingly enough, Jason's blush didn't melt through the permafrost. "Never mind. I know it's weird. I'll just ask Ugrao. I mean, he has the knowledge of the twenty-eight known galaxies; he should have something about hybrid and human mating, uh, things."
"No, no, don't do that." Clark said. "I mean, I'm sure your ugrao, your grandfather, would know about it but, um, I-I-I'm honoured that you'd think to ask me."
"Yeah, well. Y'know." Jason scratched his arm.
They stared at each other for a few minutes.
"So?" asked Jason.
Clark cleared his thought. "Normal sex, huh? Well, as you might have guessed, there are a few... really, though the idea of normal sex is a construct of... uh..."
Now Jason was amazed that Clark's blush didn't bring the whole fortress down.
"You know, just because you're in middle school," Clark said slowly, "it doesn't mean that you're old enough to--"
"No!" Jason quickly denied. "No. No, no, no, no. I was just curious. Lian brought it up the other day, that's all."
"Lian. I should've known." A smile played across Clark's features. He relaxed visibly. "To put it simply: you have to do it like porcupines."
Oh God! Just when he thought he might be saved this one embarrassment, this one function that define humans and non-humans and would give him an illusion of normalcy. He was never going to get a girlfriend. "What do you mean?"
"Very, very slowly."
