Now Serving #5

[http://users.livejournal.com/_loislane_/]

Diana's office is a busy place after the broadcast of Luthor's speech. No sooner does Kip leave and Diana click off the com with Elongated Man than the door to her office flies open and a disheveled Lois Lane enters, trailed by a few Amazonian aide types. "You cannot go in there unann--" one tries to say.

"Initials F.O. mean anything to you?" Lois snaps. Don't mess with her, even if you are twice her size.

"And the Brownstone is in New York...not far from Metropolis...." Lois thinks hard before Clark mentions his closest friend. "No. Absolutely not. I'd kill him. You know it, I know it, he knows it. And if I didn't, his girlfriend du jour might throw me out. Diana, no offense, but Themyscira's a bad idea, especially right now, like you said. Can we find Terrific and Mid-Nite, ask them if they have some nice quiet room where I can sit and write and order pizza?"

She hadn't been able to keep from laughing a little at the thought of Lois and Bruce together in the same house, it would be bad.

"No offense taken. I believe the Brownstone is the best solution all around. Did you wish to call them from here?"

Kal shakes his head. "I think we can arrange this, but it should be a face to face, so I can let Terrific in on the situation. We're going to need to have our facts straight in talking to the media before we can let the JSA know they're going to have a civilian houseguest. Let me talk to Terrific. The Doctor I'm sure won't mind having his prized patient within arms reach. And you won't want pizza, love, once you taste Ma Hunkel's cooking."

Kal smiles mischievously. "I wonder if I can talk our boss into letting me take over for you as the Planet's White House press liason." A pause. "Just a thought."

"I'm still White House press liason, Smallville. You can be my legs." Lois winks at Diana before stretching. The tension's gone and now, suddenly, she's dead tired. "I'm just going to sit here until you two decide about my future. Good? Good."

Her feet get tucked up under her, and she leans against the high back of the chair.

"I will arrange for them to bring you some food while you are waiting Lois." She chuckled and watched the tired reporter relax.

"Kal, I will leave the arrangements to you with the JSA but do not hesitate to ask me for anything that the two of you may need."

Kal leans in and kisses Diana on the cheek. "I never do. If the situation with Themiscyra were different, it would have been perfect. And you remember to do the same. Push comes to shove, the league looks after their own."

"No food. Just some juice if you've got any. Grape is best. No tomato. Tomato bad." Lois speaks with her eyes closed until the commentary about food is over, and then she peeks at Diana. "Look, we both know whatever Lex concocted to make you and Themyscira look back is crap. Dig around some and I'll write up the truth about what happened. Truth always wins, Diana. You know that."

"Truth does indeed win. Grape juice is easy enough, Ferdinand makes fresh juice from the vinyards of Themyscira, you will like it I think." She rests her hand on Lois' shoulder for a moment with a smile.

"I will leave you two alone, there are others I need to pass this information to." and she leaves them alone in the office and sends someone to bring Lois the freshest grapejuice they have on hand.
