[ So you get a postman knocking at the door of your shitty apartment, Clark.

You better be in. :| ]

[He's ragged and half sleepy, pulling on his shirt and opening the door. Oh hi.]

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 10:10:00 UTC

[ The native postman - postboy, really - is looking at him, then down at the slip of paper. ]

Mister Clark Kent? [ Squints, then turns the paper around. ]

Sign here, please?

[He tilts his head, curious - who'd be sending him anything? - then leans forward and signs the document, frowning.]

Sure... But who--?

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 12:38:18 UTC

There's no names on this thing, but you can check the return address?

[ It's a small envelope, but weighty. It sounds like there's pieces of metal in it. ]

Have a good day, Mr. Kent.

isitablurred July 15 2011, 12:43:33 UTC

Er, thanks.

[He closes the door and turns slowly, moving to put the envelope on the table and x-raying it from a safe distance. Just in case.]

[ It's two pairs of keys, and a note with an address in Sector Four with very, very recognizavble handwriting. It's not Batman's blocky, anonymous handwriting - it's Bruce Wayne's distinctive half-cursive, half-scrawl.

Guess who bought you and Lois an apartment? By 'bought' he means 'pays rent for on a permanent basis'. ]

[Long, hard stare.]

2/2 voice isitablurred July 15 2011, 12:48:24 UTC

[Four minutes later, ring ring.]

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 12:50:04 UTC

[ Sleepy and snappish and not playboy at all: ]

You're calling me at eight in the morning. This better be good.

isitablurred July 15 2011, 13:03:44 UTC

Did you send this?

[Refusing to take things at face value, yup.]

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 13:06:29 UTC

[ CRASH- ]

For god's-- [ thump thump thump thump thud ]

I got until 'did you', but I can figure out what you're asking. [ Bitten-off yawn. ]

And I did.

[A very long silence on his end. Bearing in mind that Clark used to get up at 5.30 to milk cows at home, and then went to school, and then did farm chores up past midnight and honestly Bruce. How can you not be awake if your eyes are open?

Seeing a new side to Batman okay.]

Er... You alright?

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 13:16:01 UTC

[ He got in at 6am. Two hours ago. Some bunch of kids at the Underground Mall exiting before the sirens to sneak back home. Idiots- and they're not the first. ]

It's fucking eight in the morning. [ So blandly and you can hear him clomping. He's not a morning person and he hasn't showered yet and he's really tempted to chug coffee like a pro. Goddamnit. ]

Don't tell me you woke me up for an imbecilic question.

isitablurred July 15 2011, 13:26:26 UTC

I had to make sure I wasn't walking Lois into a trap. This is...weird, okay. I mean. The last person who randomly started buying me things was Lex.

[So much concern in his voice.]

kingofrooks July 15 2011, 13:30:27 UTC

You're making me a Cave. I'm getting you an apartment so, firstly, Lois doesn't have to live in the Starters, and secondly, you won't have to show her the dump you call a living space right now.

[ Beep beep- thud. Then the screech of a chair being pulled out. ]

Don't compare me to Luthor again.
