It's been a while since you've shipped me off somewhere. I can't say I have any complaints about the where. Actually, given the conversations I've overheard, I'm looking forward to it. Granted I wish you'd consider pulling me from an early point in my timeline, but I can understand your reasons.

I do have one request. While I understand the novelty of "Insect Queen", I'd rather not be transforming into a giant grasshopper anytime soon.

'Insect Queen'? [She sounds amused, but not in the making-fun-of way.]

It's not exactly your typical 'Lana Lang', but it could be worse. 'Slime Queen' and 'The Great Cockroach Monarch' come to mind.

[wewrite_destiny]

[ That gets a laugh. ]

I'm told it's my superhero identity from the comics. I'd like to know who exactly came up with that idea.

In the comics, Ollie has the beard of a mountain man and Clark wears his briefs on the outside. I think it's safe to say we're drifting well off the beaten path already.

[wewrite_destiny]

Thank God. [ A pause. ] Although... [ No, she is not imagining these things, what are you talking about? ]

[facilitating]

[Oh god okay what no no no no--] Note to Self? Never talk about Clark's briefs with someone who's actually seen them.

[wewrite_destiny]

[ That gets more laughter. She could point out that she's also seen through them, but she's not feeling that mean today. ]

Well, right now I'm looking at becoming full on Kryptonian, or having some kind of love related abilities. She hasn't decided.

I guess it really all depends on whether or not you plan on running into any little green rocks anytime soon. [Oh thank god for topic changes.]

[wewrite_destiny]

[ Mm, yes, she remembers what those feel like. ]

There was a meteor shower back in January, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't our type of meteor.

sorry for slow. :'|

On the plus side, if it was? You'll know it, and soon. There's not exactly much room to wonder when the side effects include shapeshifting or pyrokinesis or getting a little too friendly with with bees.

slow is acceptable, as I can sometimes be slow

[wewrite_destiny]

Ugh, don't say bees.

[patricide]

I'm surprised Lana Lang allows herself to be shipped anywhere.

[wewrite_destiny]

I'm not going to a prison camp, Lex. I have no reason to resist.

[patricide]

I was simply pointing out that for a woman who always struck me as someone who knew what she wanted, you seem unexpectedly satisfied with having no control over your own direction.

The words prison camp crossed your mind, not mine.

[wewrite_destiny]

[ Those words crossed her mind because of the company, thanks. :| ]

Perhaps you missed the part where I said I was looking forward to it. My writer can be very accommodating. She's quite fond of me.

[patricide]

[He's just looking out for her. OR IS HE?]

I can't miss what I initially observed: a caged bird who sings only because she is happy.

Please take care of yourself.

[wewrite_destiny]

[ She answers him very calmly and cooly. ]

I survived a marriage to you. I think I can manage.

[patricide]

[The expression on his face remains neutral, removed from the situation rather than disinterested.]

I wouldn't expect anything less. You've always been a survivor.

[wewrite_destiny]

[ She's quiet for a moment. Even from him, that's a compliment. Maybe especially from him. But she won't let it bother her any more than it has to. ]

Are there any more observations you'd like to make?
