I’ve got Superman on the brain today and my current thought is “Clark Kent sitting on an airplane because the Daily Planet needs him to go somewhere and they bought him tickets and sent someone else with him so he can’t fly there himself.”
I’m sure it’s been done
But I’m giggling to myself
Imagining him sitting there impatiently, tapping his foot
nah, he'd be enjoying himself
he gets to roleplay being nervous about flying
Sitting at an airport waiting for a connecting flight
Thinking “I could fly there myself ten times faster”
Sitting in a red eye going
"What if I. Got out and pushed. Can I get away with that prolly not after 9/11 I can't"
Tazrael: nah he's genuinely nervous
because if something does happen to the plane, he can't sneak out to save it, he's in the plane
because if something does happen to the plane, he can't sneak out to save it, he's in the plane
Tazrael: not if his flight was economy class taking off at 2am and there’s a screaming baby two rows behind him
lastbastion: no that’s easy
Clark falls out of the plane
Superman shows up
“I saved Clark and put him on the ground. Now I’ll save the rest of you”
He’s done it before
Lois has probably noticed how often he saves Clark like that but considering he saves her way more often she’s not gonna call him out
he doesn't have a special thing going with Lois specifically he's just a HUGE Daily Planet fan
see also being Jimmy's pal
alternatively
Lois: if Superman and Kent meet up so often why does it always seem to be in private
Lois:
Lois: oh they fuckin
Yes just
Lois dropping hints she "knows"
but farmboy Clark first thinks she knows the truth, only to realize on some sleepless night she thinks they're lovers.
like three months later
Clark, realizing the only way to clear this up is to admit his secret identity: “................yes, I am fucking Superman.”
Lois, who also wants to fuck Superman: “.....................congratulations.”
Clark: "Would you like to? I can arrange it and I know he'd be into it too."
pretty sure there's at least one official piece of media where after they start dating they imply the two of them are in a polycule with Superman
