Notes: For ilovetobefree's birthday, in honor of friendship and happy memories!

( Bruce Wayne peered out the windshield of their rented car at the road sign standing at the junction of two potholed roads. Beyond them on all sides, golden, tree-lined fields meandered into the distance under a gem-bright sky. )

Hee. Bruce would totally be the type who wouldn't want to admit they were lost.

And of course, I love the fact that Bruce couldn't resist looking out and unravelling a mystery, and that Clark made a detour to rescue a stuck cat. Dawwww...

*grin* You have to imagine Clark being all "But Bruce, the cat! It's crying! Its owner is really worried! And it'll only take a minute..." Meanwhile, Bruce is busy looking for secret murder plots... (and refusing to admit they were lost!)

"I think we're lost," said Clark Kent, trying to refold his map.
:LOL This reminds me our traveling so much :D

"Two of the most powerful beings in the world cannot be wandering around lost in the Czech Republic," said Bruce.
:D :D

"I kind of like it," said Clark. "Even being lost."
See, he likes being lost too. :)

"My hero," murmured Clark. "Let's pull over and have lunch."
"What, here?" Bruce gestured out at the empty fields.
SQUEEEEE!

"I still can't believe you pulled that stunt in Kutná Hora." He shook his head, remembering. "First you drag me off to some church decorated with human bones--"
Yes! You couldn’t leave out this place. I knew it! This is so awesome! :DDD

Of course, from then it had turned into a Mystery and a Case which had ended with a gibbering curator babbling a confession to local police in between panicked tales of being hunted through the graveyard by two accusing demons with black wings and glowing red eyes. Bruce had been adorably smug about that one.‘adorably smug’ - loved that. (And of course - it's ( ... )

OMG, I should have had their rental car (which was a Skoda!) have a GPS which only spoke Czech...

Somehow I really love the idea of Clark and Bruce visiting the places we went to! I don't know quite what they were doing up in Havirov (besides rescuing Tom!) but they were definitely there!

I know right. :D (We sort of managed, though :))

But they were only two of them! (But they managed too, lol).

And I do love their lazy, almost ritualistic teasing that they totally don't mean. :)

Hehe, I feel like I gave Clark and Bruce a gift, letting them share our wonderful trip a little! :) I hope your birthday was totally perfect! *hugs*

:LOL Only spoke Czech - poor Clark and Bruce. But we know they are both good in languages, aren't they? :D

My birthday were good, though I didn't feel quite well (and I'm sick this week actually and feel horrible last a few days - I'm glad there is a weekend already and I can stay in my bed not going anywhere.)

I hope everything is well with you (though you are probably busy) and wish you a wonderful weekend! *hugs back*

A delightful little slice of life, and so clearly based on true events :D

(all this talk of schnitzel is making me hungry, darn it!)

Writing this story made me hungry! :) And it was such a lovely trip that I couldn't resist sharing it with Clark and Bruce...

HI OKAY HELLO THERE I AM DEAD OF CUTE. X_X

mithen October 11 2013, 11:50:56 UTC

Heeehehe, thank you! I hadn't given them a quiet, old-married-couple moment for so long...

bradygirl_12 October 7 2013, 17:24:21 UTC

Aww, the Lost Boys! ;)

Clark and the kitty is perfect, as are Bruce and the bones, heh heh! Nice picnic lunch and peaceful surroundings and even the World's Finest need a break once in awhile. :)

I like Clark being a farmboy no matter what! He really loved growing up on the farm. Such a sweetie! :)

One of the great things about writing Clark is doing research on the John Deere website so I have just the right hay baler, lol! Oh Clark...

It's so hard to make these two relax, I feel I must enjoy it to the fullest when I can manage it!
