( Davis has a recurring nightmare, one where he has no parents, no friends, no life. He’s in a cornfield, like that little kid from the Twilight Zone wished him away from the Kent Farm.

They put the other him in a cage and take him away. )

Title: If You Loved Me (Which You Don’t)
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: PG
Word Count: 465
Timeline: Takes place after 8x06 Committed
Characters/Pairings: Clark/Lois
Summary: Lois is very adamant that lie detectors don’t work.

( The first week, it was just awkward silences giving way to conspicuous mentions of dates Lois was going on. Clark tolerated that; even squelched the overprotective instinct he got. The second week, Lois sent an “interesting” article on how lie detectors weren’t admissible in court to Chloe and CCed it to him. The third week, her idle conversations tended to revolve around the many ways one could beat a lie detector. By the fourth week, Clark had had enough. )

( Cass wondered what Batman could be doing with Superman. Then she remembered the movies she’d watch with Dick for Hollow Ween. When she got scared, Dick had told her that she didn’t need to worry about Count Dracula because Superman could take him easy. Was that why Batman needed Superman’s help? There were vampires in the city? Questioningly, Cass mimed plunging a stake into a vampire’s chest. Hand gripping the invisible stake, motioning it up and down, up and down, up and down… )
