1. Your attention, please.
Attention, please.Copy !req
2. There's gonna be a panel starting
in 20 minutes.Copy !req
3. Don't touch it, please.
I got it!Copy !req
4. Wow.Copy !req
5. This is awesome.Copy !req
6. Whoa.Copy !req
7. Warrior Angel.Copy !req
8. Hey, Harry, is it true
that no one's ever read it before?Copy !req
9. I read on the Internet
that no one in the whole world knows...Copy !req
10. what the Warrior Angel's
secret battle cry is.Copy !req
11. - You've got to let me take a look at this.
- No, no. You know better than that.Copy !req
12. Anybody opens that book,
the value drops.Copy !req
13. I know.Copy !req
14. But aren't you at least curious
what's inside?Copy !req
15. Of course. I mean, who wouldn't?Copy !req
16. But if I so much as breathe at it funny,
my boss would kill me.Copy !req
17. Besides, there's nothing
in that fantasy world...Copy !req
18. that's gonna make a lick of difference
out here in the real one, kid.Copy !req
19. No, no, no!Copy !req
20. - Come on. Some of these are priceless.
Hey, look, man, I didn't see it.Copy !req
21. Security! Security!
Somebody stole my comic book!Copy !req
22. I'm sorry.Copy !req
23. Hey.Copy !req
24. - Sorry. I can't see a thing in this helmet.
- Lois.Copy !req
25. This is not what I had in mind...Copy !req
26. when Randall said I gotta be
embedded journalist for the day.Copy !req
27. Shouldn't be hard for Lois Lane
to nail down a human interest piece.Copy !req
28. Save the hammer.
I can't get anything out of these people.Copy !req
29. They keep looking at me
like I'm from another planet.Copy !req
30. Which is saying something.Copy !req
31. You know, no offense...Copy !req
32. but that armor doesn't exactly
make you Miss Approachable.Copy !req
33. Look.Copy !req
34. Like this?
Don't be afraid.Copy !req
35. Right. No wonder
Clark's been avoiding me.Copy !req
36. I am losing touch with fantasy
without even realizing it.Copy !req
37. The last thing Clark feels
when he thinks about you is boredom.Copy !req
38. Maybe I'm doing this to myself.Copy !req
39. You know, maybe it's a deep-rooted fear
of intimacy.Copy !req
40. Maybe I'm not letting loose,
because every time I do...Copy !req
41. things fall apart.Copy !req
42. My therapist was right. I used to have
these fantasies about Clark.Copy !req
43. And now,
not so much as a dirty limerick.Copy !req
44. Maybe you just need to calm down
and focus on your work.Copy !req
45. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
46. You're right.Copy !req
47. And maybe you should take advantage
of being immersed in your element.Copy !req
48. Get your hands off of the digital world
and onto some hunky human fantasy...Copy !req
49. for a change. Have a little fun.
One of us should.Copy !req
50. - All right.
- Good.Copy !req
51. Now, I have to go make a call.Copy !req
52. Promise me you're gonna kick
the CrackBerry to the curb.Copy !req
53. I promise.Copy !req
54. Okay.Copy !req
55. Can't believe I'm doing this.Copy !req
56. Whoa!Copy !req
57. "With angels' might."Copy !req
58. Warrior Angel was really just the kid?Copy !req
59. Uh-oh.Copy !req
60. Are you okay?Copy !req
61. - Lois.
Clark. Where are you?Copy !req
62. Look, I'm sorry. I'm late.Copy !req
63. But I guess I got caught up
with some chores.Copy !req
64. - I'm in the truck on the way there now.
Oh, good.Copy !req
65. Can you grab something from my place
while you're at it?Copy !req
66. - Check in the closet.
- Sure.Copy !req
67. Like you said, I'm already late, so...Copy !req
68. I'm cashing in a rain check.
You cannot renege on a rain check.Copy !req
69. Can I rain check on your rain check?
No.Copy !req
70. You've been cashing in
so many rain checks lately...Copy !req
71. that I am soaking wet
with disappointment.Copy !req
72. Luckily, I'm driving by the Talon
right now, Lois. What do you need?Copy !req
73. - What was that whooshing sound?
- Nothing.Copy !req
74. I just had the truck window open.Copy !req
75. Okay, this is what I got:
some red leather thing.Copy !req
76. Nope.Copy !req
77. - Salute the flag?
- Less gabbing, more grabbing.Copy !req
78. French-maid outfit?Copy !req
79. Need-to-know basis.Copy !req
80. There's a garment bag.Copy !req
81. Finally. There you go.
Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?Copy !req
82. - Yeah, piece of cake.
You're my hero.Copy !req
83. After that heroic hit-and-run...Copy !req
84. it would be hard for even the most
distressed damsel not to take offense.Copy !req
85. What would a hero say?Copy !req
86. You're welcome, citizen.Copy !req
87. Uh, and you left a not-so-subtle trail
of breadcrumbs on your way over here.Copy !req
88. I'm sorry.Copy !req
89. This is all kind of new to me.
I didn't realize how fast I was.Copy !req
90. No sonic boom.
So not that fast, I guess.Copy !req
91. Did you wanna...?Copy !req
92. What?Copy !req
93. Oh, ha.Copy !req
94. Um...Copy !req
95. Not very heroic.Copy !req
96. Good street look, though.Copy !req
97. Uh-huh. Well, look,
whether you feel like it or not...Copy !req
98. I know a superhero when I see one.Copy !req
99. I'm sort of in the business
of helping superheroes.Copy !req
100. I don't think anyone's dad
talked about that on Career Day.Copy !req
101. - Are you for real?
- Yeah, I'm about as real as it gets.Copy !req
102. Chloe Sullivan.Copy !req
103. Stephen Swift.Copy !req
104. - Ow!
- Sorry.Copy !req
105. Maybe we can talk about
how you fit in...Copy !req
106. among the world's finest
over coffee sometime.Copy !req
107. That sounds pretty cool.Copy !req
108. Great.Copy !req
109. So did you wanna
get that coffee now, or...?Copy !req
110. Now? Uh, yeah. Okay.Copy !req
111. I mean, if you're not doing anything.Copy !req
112. Yeah.Copy !req
113. Ladies first.Copy !req
114. Bill.
- Come on, man.Copy !req
115. You only get to frown when you've been
sweating like a pot roast all afternoon.Copy !req
116. I'm sorry, Lois, I just don't get all this.
The colors, the costumes.Copy !req
117. Everyone has a popcorn image
of what being a hero's about.Copy !req
118. It's called a fantasy, Clark. An escape.Copy !req
119. Something, I don't know, more magical
than what we have in our normal lives.Copy !req
120. The reality of being a hero...Copy !req
121. is about sacrifice, responsibility
and accountability.Copy !req
122. From what I've heard.Copy !req
123. Did you and Chloe
both just swear off whimsy?Copy !req
124. Was there a memo?Copy !req
125. Look, a costume
isn't just about hiding who you are...Copy !req
126. it's about seeing the world
in a way that you haven't before.Copy !req
127. What's your dream?
Getting swept away in a little fantasy...Copy !req
128. might do you some good
every once in a while.Copy !req
129. Lady's got a point.Copy !req
130. Without a dash of fantasy, life's just life.
And where's the magic in that?Copy !req
131. - Zatanna, when did you—?
- We need to talk, Blue. Alone.Copy !req
132. I hope it's okay
that I borrow him for a bit.Copy !req
133. Lois, Zatanna. Zatanna, Lois.Copy !req
134. Not exactly what I meant
about being swept away.Copy !req
135. I shouldn't be surprised that you decided
to follow in your father's footsteps.Copy !req
136. A lot can change in a year.Copy !req
137. Somehow I don't think you detoured
your roadshow to play catch-up.Copy !req
138. I found out
my late great father got cocky...Copy !req
139. and went on a cursing spree
in his roaring 20s.Copy !req
140. I have been cleaning up his mess...Copy !req
141. rounding up all the things
that he cursed.Copy !req
142. You think this comic book
was one of those items?Copy !req
143. It's not as crazy as it sounds.
According to my dad's journal...Copy !req
144. our thief is bound to be feeling
the effects of true power.Copy !req
145. Just like in the comic.Copy !req
146. I'm normally a solo act...Copy !req
147. but these things
never seem to end well.Copy !req
148. And I can't think of anyone better
to help me with this than you.Copy !req
149. Hey, come on.
Hey, buddy, wait your turn.Copy !req
150. Would you excuse me one moment?Copy !req
151. Back of the line, buddy.Copy !req
152. Lois, why are you
in the men's bathroom?Copy !req
153. You obviously haven't seen the line
for the women's room.Copy !req
154. - Lois.
Just a minute.Copy !req
155. - Stop gawking and prosper.
- That's what was in your bag?Copy !req
156. Well, this Amazon princess
won't get nerd-walled again.Copy !req
157. I still don't understand how this qualifies
as Amazon, but whatever.Copy !req
158. While I was waiting for you
to drag your heels across the county...Copy !req
159. a story finally happened
right under my nose.Copy !req
160. - Someone stole—
- A rare Warrior Angel comic book.Copy !req
161. I know. My friend Zatanna told me.
She's into antiquities.Copy !req
162. She has a few leads that
she wants me to help her track down.Copy !req
163. I'll bet you do.Copy !req
164. - No, Lois, it's not like that.
- No, I get it.Copy !req
165. You mind if I get a picture with you?Copy !req
166. Take a picture?Copy !req
167. We'll cover more ground
if we split up anyway, right?Copy !req
168. How—?Copy !req
169. My caramel java-chip white-chocolate
mocha has three shots in it, right?Copy !req
170. Yeah.
- Great.Copy !req
171. - And for you, sir?
- A glass of milk would be great.Copy !req
172. I mean, coffee.Copy !req
173. Dark, black, please.Copy !req
174. Everything okay?Copy !req
175. Yeah. It's just strong, is all.Copy !req
176. If I'm gonna help you get acclimated,
I need to ask you—Copy !req
177. You really know superheroes?Copy !req
178. Yeah. Now, let's just focus on—
All of them?Copy !req
179. Most of them, I guess.Copy !req
180. What?Copy !req
181. You know actual superheroes,
and you couldn't sound more bored.Copy !req
182. - That's— That's amazing, is what it is.
- Well, it's a living.Copy !req
183. Can you at least tell me
which heroes you know?Copy !req
184. Don't. That would compromise
their identities.Copy !req
185. I can't believe I asked that.Copy !req
186. Let's focus
on what makes Stephen Swift so super.Copy !req
187. So were you exposed to meteor rock?
Or maybe you were born this way.Copy !req
188. That would make you Metahuman.
Or maybe you're from space.Copy !req
189. That last one was a joke.Copy !req
190. Kind of. Oh, God, you're not actually
from space, are you?Copy !req
191. No. Just—Copy !req
192. Sorry.Copy !req
193. I'm an orphan.Copy !req
194. And I got sent to Metropolis
to live with my aunt when I was...Copy !req
195. little.Copy !req
196. And then a couple weeks ago,
I got caught in a...Copy !req
197. In a chemical fire.
And, well, here we are.Copy !req
198. - It's common to the archetype.
- Yeah. I thought I was the expert.Copy !req
199. Cry to his mama
because he lost his bike.Copy !req
200. Give it back. Come on.
I need that to get home.Copy !req
201. And who's gonna stop me?Copy !req
202. Excuse me, Miss Sullivan.Copy !req
203. Ow! Ah! Stop it.Copy !req
204. You heard the man. Leave him be.Copy !req
205. What you're doing to this kid here
isn't right, and it isn't fair.Copy !req
206. And he shouldn't let you
get away with it, not ever.Copy !req
207. Mind your own business.Copy !req
208. I'll give you something to laugh about.Copy !req
209. No.Copy !req
210. - No, no, no.
- Apologize!Copy !req
211. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Just—Copy !req
212. I'll give it back. Just put me down.Copy !req
213. - Everybody, home, now.
Come on!Copy !req
214. It hurts.Copy !req
215. Thanks, mister.Copy !req
216. Sorry. I just had to save the day.Copy !req
217. So, what's next?Copy !req
218. Sorry my locator spell
wasn't more accurate.Copy !req
219. Like I said,
I need all the help I can get.Copy !req
220. We should be close?Copy !req
221. I guess you can't expect magic
to be an exact science.Copy !req
222. Was that a clever play on words?
Wonderful wit and sparkling theatrics.Copy !req
223. Mr. Blur's really upped his game.Copy !req
224. Found it.Copy !req
225. I always knew you were packing
some heavy artillery under that tie...Copy !req
226. but seeing through walls,
well, that's a showstopper.Copy !req
227. - All in a day's work, I guess.
- Wait.Copy !req
228. With powers like yours...Copy !req
229. how can you possibly say,
"All in a day's work"?Copy !req
230. I don't really think about it.Copy !req
231. Being like this
is almost like breathing now.Copy !req
232. And with a gift like that
comes responsibilities.Copy !req
233. Exactly.Copy !req
234. I've spent so much time
trying to do what's right...Copy !req
235. that I guess I haven't had any time
for anything but reality.Copy !req
236. And these people,
out here with their capes...Copy !req
237. I don't know, they just don't get it.Copy !req
238. But...Copy !req
239. Right there with you.Copy !req
240. Magic. Fantasy.
It's all in a day's work.Copy !req
241. Day in, day out.Copy !req
242. What I create
as everyone else's fantasies...Copy !req
243. has become so normal.Copy !req
244. I suppose even the illusionists
can become disillusioned.Copy !req
245. But, hey, at least you have that
fiery spacetrooper to stargaze with...Copy !req
246. at the end of the day.Copy !req
247. Yeah, well,
based on my last relationship...Copy !req
248. I'm afraid I'm keeping Lois
at arm's length.Copy !req
249. You're afraid
that if you let that spark ignite...Copy !req
250. you're gonna get burned again.Copy !req
251. Right now, everything's under control.Copy !req
252. Fantasy isn't about being in control...Copy !req
253. and fire doesn't always have to burn,
you know.Copy !req
254. Maybe what you need
is a tiny moment of true fantasy...Copy !req
255. to remind you
what sparks are all about.Copy !req
256. I'm good, thanks.Copy !req
257. No.Copy !req
258. No, you're not.Copy !req
259. Sparks lead to flames,
and fire is what keeps us alive.Copy !req
260. Now...Copy !req
261. I can't do this.Copy !req
262. That's a shame.Copy !req
263. I think we found a mouth
more magical than mine.Copy !req
264. - See you later.
- Thank you.Copy !req
265. - Hey.
- Oliver, what's up?Copy !req
266. Me? Just owed Lois
some Sharks tickets.Copy !req
267. But you, buddy...Copy !req
268. you may be bulletproof, but you may
wanna duck and cover in there.Copy !req
269. Good luck.Copy !req
270. Hey.Copy !req
271. So your friend Zatanna,
what was she dressed up as, anyway?Copy !req
272. - That's just how she dresses, so...
- Of course it is.Copy !req
273. Lois, you don't have anything
to worry about with Zatanna.Copy !req
274. Of course I don't. Wanna know why?
Jealous women worry.Copy !req
275. Me? Not jealous. Not even a little.Copy !req
276. See, I know that I have nothing
to worry about...Copy !req
277. because Clark Kent,
he is the most honest man that I know.Copy !req
278. So if anything were to happen
between the farm boy...Copy !req
279. and Lady Fishnets...Copy !req
280. Lois Lane would be the first to know
about it, not the last, right?Copy !req
281. Well, you can tell your supervisor
that I find it highly ironic...Copy !req
282. that I can't find anyone
worth talking to in Missing Persons.Copy !req
283. When did we drift from missing comic
to Missing Persons?Copy !req
284. We course-corrected
when our thief's aunt filed a report.Copy !req
285. Aunt? How old is our thief?Copy !req
286. Meet Alec Abrams,
our preteen, pre-convict.Copy !req
287. He's been AWOL
ever since he stole the book.Copy !req
288. Not that I can blame him.
It's worth thousands of dollars.Copy !req
289. - The cops are looking for him.
- Police are the least of his worries.Copy !req
290. - We need to find him as soon as we can.
- Don't think I haven't been trying.Copy !req
291. His ID was flagged in
the Planet database as a potential story.Copy !req
292. He kept sending letters to the post office
addressed to the Blur.Copy !req
293. "Your world
is so much better than mine.Copy !req
294. I wish I could be a hero
so I wouldn't get bullied at school.Copy !req
295. I wish I could be a hero like you
so I could've saved my parents.Copy !req
296. I used to think heroes weren't real
until you showed up."Copy !req
297. Looks like our little juvie
is in desperate need for a Big Brother.Copy !req
298. He's just looking for someone
to understand what he's going through.Copy !req
299. Goal. Kick save.Copy !req
300. Nice save.Copy !req
301. Kick save.Copy !req
302. I don't get why you didn't wanna
come here. This place is awesome.Copy !req
303. It's way cooler than my room.Copy !req
304. I mean, my pad.Copy !req
305. You know,
I must've gotten my signals mixed.Copy !req
306. I certainly didn't think
this is what you meant...Copy !req
307. when you said
you wanted to come upstairs.Copy !req
308. - Why do you keep doing that?
- Doing what?Copy !req
309. You keep trying not to smile
like the whole night.Copy !req
310. We're having fun, right?Copy !req
311. Uh. Sure, I guess.Copy !req
312. You guess? Come on, get up here.Copy !req
313. No. I've never even touched Lois' Xbox.
I would look ridiculous.Copy !req
314. That's the whole point.Copy !req
315. Maybe you need to look ridiculous.
When's the last time you had any fun?Copy !req
316. - I have lots of fun.
Just tell me when...Copy !req
317. and you can keep watching me
have all the fun you're not having.Copy !req
318. All right, fine. Look, if I get up, do you
promise to answer all my questions?Copy !req
319. Cross my heart.Copy !req
320. Restart.Copy !req
321. Get ready.Copy !req
322. Oh, jeez.Copy !req
323. Goal. Nice. Kick save. Nice save.Copy !req
324. All right, a deal's a deal.
Powers. What's under the hood?Copy !req
325. Oh, you know,
your standard super-speed...Copy !req
326. enhanced strength,
augmented hearing.Copy !req
327. I like to call it Angel Hearing.
But I think that's it.Copy !req
328. - How about flight?
- What? Why would you think I could—?Copy !req
329. Holy crap. I can fly?Copy !req
330. Holy crap! I can fly!Copy !req
331. Oh!Copy !req
332. Come on.Copy !req
333. We have to give this a whirl.Copy !req
334. What happens if I fall?Copy !req
335. Don't worry.Copy !req
336. I'll catch you.Copy !req
337. - So you got caught up in the moment.
- Under magical duress.Copy !req
338. I was just trying
to give you some perspective, Clark.Copy !req
339. Even though we live lives that everyone
else thinks are fantastic, doesn't mean...Copy !req
340. we don't get to take a break
from the real world now and then.Copy !req
341. We don't get to take breaks.Copy !req
342. Which is why us Super Friends
gotta stick together.Copy !req
343. I think I have a spell for that.Copy !req
344. Am I interrupting something?Copy !req
345. - No.
- Yes.Copy !req
346. You certainly seem
to be in good spirits.Copy !req
347. Yeah, well, I had a really good night
for the first time in a while.Copy !req
348. Which is more than I can say
for the two of you.Copy !req
349. The company that published
Warrior Angel...Copy !req
350. stole the idea
from a friend of Zatanna's father.Copy !req
351. In order to exact
some Old World retribution...Copy !req
352. my father put a curse
on the original comic...Copy !req
353. hoping to teach the publisher
a lesson.Copy !req
354. The publisher never opened the comic.Copy !req
355. And neither did anyone else.
Not until yesterday.Copy !req
356. "Stephen Swift"?Copy !req
357. There isn't anything wrong with having
another hero on the street, right?Copy !req
358. There is when he's just a kid.Copy !req
359. And according to Zatanna's research—Copy !req
360. The curse should've turned Alec
into a full-grown hero.Copy !req
361. Oh, my God. He is just a boy.Copy !req
362. If we figure out
what he looks like as an adult...Copy !req
363. we can use Watchtower
to track him down.Copy !req
364. Then I can slap him
with a counter-curse...Copy !req
365. and we'll have him home
by breakfast.Copy !req
366. - Chloe?
- I have a few things I need to look into.Copy !req
367. I'll let you know if I find anything.Copy !req
368. Remember how you said
magic wasn't an exact science?Copy !req
369. Well, there's a catch too.Copy !req
370. And my dad really outdid himself
on this one.Copy !req
371. There's a monster
at the end of the book.Copy !req
372. Not surprised your dad's friend
had trouble selling this.Copy !req
373. This isn't the origins of a superhero,
it's the birth of a villain.Copy !req
374. In the original story,
Warrior Angel becomes Devilicus.Copy !req
375. And the moment our hero feels
the slightest bit betrayed...Copy !req
376. He becomes a monster.Copy !req
377. I got a bunch of games you might like.
We could order pizza or— What's wrong?Copy !req
378. I know your real secret. I know
that you stole a cursed comic book...Copy !req
379. and that's how you got your powers.
I know you're younger than you look.Copy !req
380. Well, it was just an accident.
I had to look inside.Copy !req
381. And now I'm finally a hero,
and I won't go back.Copy !req
382. My friend can reverse this curse.Copy !req
383. I just wanted to get to you first
so you wouldn't freak out.Copy !req
384. - We're gonna get you back to normal.
- Normal?Copy !req
385. Normal means being wailed on
at school every day.Copy !req
386. Normal means not having the power
to defend myself.Copy !req
387. Do you have any idea
how much my actual life sucked?Copy !req
388. This is everything I ever wanted.
No one can ever hurt me again.Copy !req
389. But this isn't real, Alec. You're gonna
find a way to get through this, okay?Copy !req
390. That's what being a kid is all about.
Now, you just calm down.Copy !req
391. My name is not Alec.
This is who I am now.Copy !req
392. And I won't go back.Copy !req
393. You can't make me.Copy !req
394. No one can.Copy !req
395. I have a feeling no one's gonna
push me around ever again.Copy !req
396. We're a little late to the party.
You find that guest of honor yet?Copy !req
397. The computer's doing
a facial-recognition search...Copy !req
398. based on the age progression
from Alec's photo.Copy !req
399. Abracadabra.Copy !req
400. Chloe?Copy !req
401. Why didn't she say something?Copy !req
402. If you found out
your hero was really a 12-year-old...Copy !req
403. how would you have reacted?Copy !req
404. If I were Chloe, I'd try to fix it myself.Copy !req
405. Wait. No!Copy !req
406. Let me go! Put me down!Copy !req
407. Please tell me
your counter-curse is ready to go.Copy !req
408. As ready as it's gonna be.Copy !req
409. Bring our girl home.Copy !req
410. Sins of the father shall not be repeatedCopy !req
411. Tell me where your friend is
so I can stop her.Copy !req
412. I don't wanna hurt you, Chloe.Copy !req
413. But I will if I need to.Copy !req
414. Think this through.Copy !req
415. You wanna be a hero, right?
This isn't something a hero would do.Copy !req
416. Lethal enforcers
are way more interesting.Copy !req
417. - They were big in the '90s.
- That's Alec talking. You're still in there.Copy !req
418. Think about your parents, Alec.Copy !req
419. - You think—?
- You don't know anything...Copy !req
420. about my parents,
and you don't know anything about me.Copy !req
421. Sins of the fatherCopy !req
422. - What is that?
Shall not be repeatedCopy !req
423. - Sins of the father shall not be repeated
- Do you hear that?Copy !req
424. Sins of the father shall not be repeatedCopy !req
425. Innocence lost is once again foundCopy !req
426. You all right?Copy !req
427. It was just an accident.Copy !req
428. Everything's gonna be okay.Copy !req
429. How's Chloe?Copy !req
430. She's been better.Copy !req
431. I'm sorry.Copy !req
432. I don't know what happened.Copy !req
433. I've never felt like a— Like a—Copy !req
434. Like a bully before?Copy !req
435. Yeah.Copy !req
436. No one starts out
wanting to be the bad guy.Copy !req
437. Life can be pretty hard on you
sometimes, huh?Copy !req
438. The test of a true hero...Copy !req
439. is not letting the sadness
and the loneliness take over.Copy !req
440. Especially when
you have superpowers.Copy !req
441. Especially.Copy !req
442. Just because you can do something
doesn't mean you should.Copy !req
443. That sounds hard.Copy !req
444. - It is.
- So why do you do it?Copy !req
445. I do it because I wanna help people.Copy !req
446. Like you.Copy !req
447. Not because I have to,
but because I choose to.Copy !req
448. What do I do now?Copy !req
449. You...Copy !req
450. should go home and be a kid.
Remember...Copy !req
451. the next time you run into a bully
that there is some goodness in there.Copy !req
452. - Because everyone's worth saving.
- And a hero's work is never done.Copy !req
453. Before I go,
I wanna give you something.Copy !req
454. I wrote this
when you were still Red and Blue.Copy !req
455. And I didn't really know
what you looked like then, so...Copy !req
456. I like the S better.Copy !req
457. I do too.Copy !req
458. Is that him?Copy !req
459. Oh, thank God.Copy !req
460. I could swear there's a twinkle of magic
in your eyes.Copy !req
461. Or is it just pride in a job well done?Copy !req
462. I think I always gain a bit of perspective
when you blow through town.Copy !req
463. Careful. A girl might just start
to crush on you.Copy !req
464. Are you sure
we can't keep this team-up rolling?Copy !req
465. You've saved me more than once now,
and I'd love to return the favor.Copy !req
466. - As flattered as I am—
I'll be right with you.Copy !req
467. Come on.Copy !req
468. —think I'm interested
in finding my fantasy somewhere else.Copy !req
469. Must be love.Copy !req
470. Make sure she knows
just how lucky she is, Clark.Copy !req
471. Hey.Copy !req
472. I don't know how many wands
she had to wave...Copy !req
473. but your lady magician managed
to get the charges dropped against Alec.Copy !req
474. It helps that she knew the family
of the original author.Copy !req
475. But, listen, about Zatanna, Lois, I—Copy !req
476. Let me preface this by saying
that she is just a friend.Copy !req
477. Spit it out, Clark.Copy !req
478. When we were tracking down a lead
for the comic, which was the truth...Copy !req
479. her and I got to talking about the fact
that she was really stressed out.Copy !req
480. I got caught up
in my stuff so much...Copy !req
481. that I didn't realize
she had gotten so close to me.Copy !req
482. She kissed me,
but it's not what I meant to happen.Copy !req
483. Honest.Copy !req
484. I was wondering
how long it would take you to fess up.Copy !req
485. For a guy without a single poker face,
you've got a million tells.Copy !req
486. And you wouldn't look me in the eye.
And you smelled like a magazine insert.Copy !req
487. Well, let me assure you
that this will never happen again.Copy !req
488. Lois, it's just this whole thing with us,
it's new to me right now.Copy !req
489. Yeah. It's new for me too.Copy !req
490. Do you think that I like being insecure?Copy !req
491. I don't.
I just have to get used to the reality...Copy !req
492. that I'm not the only gal
that thinks you're fantastic.Copy !req
493. Well, this isn't the reaction I expected.Copy !req
494. Expect the unexpected?Copy !req
495. That look on your face,
remember how that feels...Copy !req
496. the next time
one of your sexy lady friends...Copy !req
497. invades your personal space.Copy !req
498. I'm gonna finish my apology now.Copy !req
499. At the end of the Con every year,
there's a, um, costume ball.Copy !req
500. - You hate costumes.
- Yes.Copy !req
501. But I was rethinking what I said
about not understanding...Copy !req
502. fantasy, and, uh...Copy !req
503. You asked me what my dream was,
and it's this.Copy !req
504. With you, Lois.Copy !req
505. Now, that, my friend, is an apology.Copy !req
506. I get to pick out your costume.Copy !req
507. Slow night?Copy !req
508. Figured I'd squeeze in
some target practice.Copy !req
509. And a single malt.Copy !req
510. Did you bring enough
for the rest of the class?Copy !req
511. Yeah, help yourself, professor.Copy !req
512. Running a little light
on allegory tonight.Copy !req
513. Bumpy day?Copy !req
514. Not the smoothest.Copy !req
515. Someone asked me when the last time
I had a good time was...Copy !req
516. and I didn't have an answer.Copy !req
517. I don't think anyone can fault you
for being on edge, Chloe.Copy !req
518. I mean, hell, if anyone can relate,
it's me. I get it.Copy !req
519. Yeah, you can.Copy !req
520. You know...Copy !req
521. sometimes you gotta take your fun
where you can get it.Copy !req
522. And sometimes
it's right in front of your face.Copy !req
523. You just have to wanna see it.Copy !req
524. Come on.Copy !req
525. How do I know when to let go?Copy !req
526. It's all about your heart.Copy !req
527. Just listen...Copy !req
528. right there in between the beats.Copy !req
529. That's when you let go.Copy !req
