Nexus: For Eights cont'd

Clark is sleeping. Not entirely peacefully, stressful Lex encounters will do that, but he is sleeping. The rest of the farm is quiet as well, with only the occasional moo audible in the late night air ( Read more... )

Clark ushers her into the truck and then heads north toward Burnham Woods. Eights might be interested in Chandler's Field as they pass it, with the newly rebuilt windmill that he will point out. It's about the only interesting thing to see on the way.

As it's near winter, the lake and the surrounding woods are all but deserted. The truck stops in the makeshift parking lot not too far from the water and Clark slides out, cooler in hand.

"Damn, we should've brought the horses."

"We do! It snows and everything," he grins.

"Sometimes."

"Right." She grins teasingly. "I'll believe that when I see the knee-deep snowfall to prove it."

"All right, all right." Clark laughs, holding his hands up in mock concession. "We don't get that much. There's still snow, though."

"Yeah, yeah." Anna giggles. "I'll concede you your lame-ass snow."

"You better, or I'll toss you in the lake."

"Oh, yeah right," she says with a wicked grin. "You'd try to toss me in the lake, you mean."

Clark raises his eyebrows and takes a step toward her. "That a challenge?"

Anna laughs again, twirling to one side to put Clark between her and the water. "Should it be?"

He follows, circling around so they're both even with the lake. "Oh, I don't know. Right now I'm debating whether to give you a head start or not."

"Pssh." Anna grins, standing lightly, ready to move at any moment. "I don't need one."

Clark grins.

"Well, that makes my decision easier, doesn't it?"

And then he lunges for her.

She sidesteps easily. Dancer, after all. And it's completely natural to grab him by the arm and shove him towards the lake, because turnabout is fair play, is it not?

Of course, that means she's within his reach now.

Clark, it must be said, has all the grace of a bull in a china shop. Anna scampers out of the way with little trouble but when she pushes him, he's able to twist around and snake an arm around her waist.

The other soon follows and it doesn't take as much effort as he thought it might to lift her off her feet and spin her around toward the water.

Shrieking with delighted laughter, Anna clutches at Clark's shirt with both hands. If she's going in, so is he, dammit.

The clutching and grabbing at him is enough to throw him off balance - he doesn't have that perfect control he usually does anymore.

His footing lost, in they both go.
