Out On The Town: Chapter 19
“Aren’t we interfering with police business by patrolling the streets of Metropolis?” Clark asked Lois, as they finished getting dressed. “Not really, Clark. Like Perry said, this town is a cesspool. The police are outmatched, outnumbered, and outgunned by the criminal element.”
“They’d be more than happy to get the help, I’m sure. The citizens of Metropolis would appreciate being able to walk the streets safely at night.” She concluded, adding a final fix to her lengthy chestnut brown hair for the evening.
“What if more people see us?” Clark hesitated as Lois packed a camera and notepad into her purse. “That’s the idea, Smallville.” Lois said as she zipped up her purse and attached it to a belt above her slim hips. “The red and blue blur needs street cred, and results for the cops.”
“MPD won’t fuss as much if we keep bringing in the criminal populous, or at least shining a light on every dark corner of the city’s underbelly.” Lois continued. “Most MPD squads will be sent out from HQ to quell the domestic disturbances, drunk and disorderly, and wild party calls.”
“We want the big name, high impact crimes, like armed robbery, assault with deadly force, ag bats, attempted murder, and the occasional cat up the tree calls for the human interest angle to a story.” She grinned thinly. “That’s where the real game is.” Clark whistled.
“It sounds like someone’s been doing her homework.” He praised. “Hey, you know me, Clark. I can’t stay idle for long.” The overzealous reporter was still on a kryptonite infused rush. Lois had barely slept in the last few days. Clark wondered when she’d finally come down, so to speak.
This high level of hyperactivity couldn’t be maintained for long by a normal human. Clark and Kara had already planned to bring Lois to Dr. Hamilton. The question was how to get her to cooperate. Kara’s blue kryptonite ring solution seemed to him to be the best way to go.
Once Lois put it on, she’d be more or less human and powerless. Clark could forcibly drag her to Hamilton’s office if need be. He pictured Lois kicking and screaming all the way in. Lois had known about Clark’s secret for a while now. She’d seemed okay with it so far, he mused.
Clark was still testing her. He wondered if once Lois got back to normal, she’d still feel the same. It didn’t work with Lana Lang, who seemed jealous of Clark’s abilities at times. Lana had attempted and failed to turn herself into a superhero.
“Where do we start?” Clark asked as Lois finalized her route with Chloe’s borrowed GPS unit. “All of the major action is near the Ace of Clubs, that meat market bar, slash restaurant, in downtown Metropolis. As we know from experience with Luthor, Rowland, and Mosuban, big money breeds big crime.” She replied as Clark opened the farmhouse door for her.
“Isn’t it expensive to get into the club?” Clark pondered. “Hello! We don’t need to pay to get in!” Lois reminded him as they started for her car. The plan was to park at the Daily Planet and canvass it from there. This made it look like the crime-fighters were just normal average citizens.
“That’s not fair, Lois!” Clark remarked. “Everyone else has to pay to get in.” Lois put her hands up in resignation. “Fine! We’ll pay the cover charge. If we come up with a story, we can charge it to the paper as working expense.” Clark was forced to compromise with her. “Okay! Backing off!” he said, opening the car door for her.
“Here’s another thing.” Clark began as Lois patiently listened. “If we spin around the town saving people, someone’s going to recognize us, meaning Lois Lane and Clark Kent. Me, I’m not as worried about, because no one knows me from Adam. You, on the other hand, have a picture next to your articles in the paper.” Lois considered his point.
“You’re right, Smallville.” Lois’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “We need, at least I need, a disguise. Something that allows freedom of movement, yet is something I would never wear in public as Lois. I’ve got it! We’ll make a quick stop at Parkdale Mall.”
They pulled up in the parking lot of the mall a bit later. Lois guided Clark inside, and they cruised at more or less normal human walking speed until Lois found what she was looking for. “Here we go, Smallville.” Lois snickered as she hastily wrote something down on a piece of paper, handing it to him. “These are my proportions, knock your socks off!” Lois smiled as Clark reddened.
“Thirty Eight, Twenty Five, Thirty Six. Uh…Lois…you’re not that large.” He hesitated. “Aww! Thanks, Clark, and I thought that you hadn’t noticed. Actually I included some padding to throw any witnesses off the track when describing me. Now scoot!” She slapped him across the buttocks.
“Are you sure about this?” Clark hedged, adding another shade of red to his face. “Yup! It’s the only thing that I could come up with on short notice.” Lois was clearly enjoying this. Clark reluctantly entered Jacqueline’s Adult Lingerie Boutique, and began shopping around. Lois nearly doubled over with laughter as a pleasant and sexy young worker came up to him. “Can I help you?” She cooed.
Lois casually watched from a bench in the mall. After a few minutes, Clark returned with his purchase, discreetly wrapped, and brushed the sweat from his brow. A sweaty Clark Kent was always a bad sign. They walked out to the car and Lois opened up her ‘costume’s’ box. “Perfect.” She praised. Clark had picked out a royal blue teddy with bright red lace trim.
“Voila!” Lois smiled. “Meet the new red and blue blur. Did you bring the cape that you got as a souvenir from the Warrior Angel movie?” Clark nodded, unraveling the red cape and handing it to her. “Now for a quick change. Don’t peek!” Lois teased as Clark covered his eyes.
Lois used her super speed to switch into the new clothes. In moments, Lois had donned the lingerie and fidgeted. “It is a bit loose.” She commented. “How about a nice red sash to go with it?” Clark had opened his eyes and flushed. “Aha!” Lois spied a bright red decorative ribbon that had been tied to a promotional sign. She zipped over, pulled it off and tied it around her thin waist.
Don’t fret, Smallville! I’ll return it when we’re done.” Lois explained before Clark could protest. “One more thing…” She spotted a magic store near the end of the mall’s parkway. She quickly zipped over, and bought a cheesy Mardi Gras type of mask, and tied it around her head.
“There we are.” Lois was quite pleased with herself, though the store clerk was perplexed. “All that’s left is the cape. Tie me up, Clark!” She exaggerated her voice purposely to tease him. Clark tied on the cape around Lois’s throat, letting it flow freely. “What do you think?” Lois was half serious.
“Well Lois, no one will be looking at your face!” Clark flirted, as Lois smiled brightly.
