Anon, this is great! Thanks for writing things for us before bedtime. <3 I feel so sorry for depowered, helpless Clark, poor guy. Of course he ends up in trouble, even if it's just for being a reporter. And I love how fascinated Clark is by being a normal human being for once. Bruce saving him like the damsel he is right now is of course amazing, and this line made me laugh a lot: Now if only his head would stop feeling like… well, like someone dropped a nuclear bomb in it. Considering he knows what that feels like, Clark thinks he’s qualified to comment.
He glances up, confused, before it comes to him that before, whenever he’d heard Batman’s voice coming from within the suit, he’d been using his hearing to filter out the distortion – to still hear Bruce behind all the electronic fizz. It’s strange to hear it now. Like he’s talking to someone else. Like it’s yet another layer that has descended between them, after all the time they’ve spent cautiously pulling them down. And oh, this is so great and it makes so much sense, I love this idea. And I love how sure Clark is that Bruce would totally save him again. :D Thanks for writing and sharing this, anon!
