Waiting for a bus in the rain

[andaway]

WHO: Clark Kent & Annie Leonhart
WHERE: Nonah, at a random mom and pop's dinner
WHEN: Friday after Clark's post
WHAT: Annie's becoming Clark's go to person for information. He has no complains.
WARNINGS: None, will add if needed

Clark’s on time for their meeting. Or rather, Clark’s actually early, but that’s usual on him.

Especially when he’s going to get what looks like pretty decisive information about Holiday, and something mostly registered people have seen. He’s honestly not sure why Annie is sharing so much with him. He doesn’t mind, obviously- if anything he’s going to get as much information from it as he can, for as long as it lasts. Lois isn’t the only one in the family that gets ‘hunches’ and follows her instincts, and Clark’s getting the feeling that even if he gets nothing out of following the Captain Holiday thread, he’s at least going to get some information about the government out of it.

So he’s sitting as he waits, sipping on his coffee (black, with so much sugar it probably makes people wonder why he’s drinking ‘coffee’ at all it) as he waits for his newest source of information to show up.

"As you wish." Annie is a valuable source of information, one that seems to come at him willingly when she has something she thinks he should know. But because she comes willingly he can't help but look for her angle even when there doesn't seem to be on. Superman is trustful to the point of being naive sometimes, and he'll be the first one to admit that. But Clark Kent is surprisingly distrustful when it comes to this kind of job- far too many years working with people who went to incredible lengths to protect a scoop, he guesses.

"I'll read it over, a couple times, and see what I get from it. You've always been really helpful, so I want to return the favor."

Her ultimate angle might very well be one day finding a means to stay. She's never talked about it with more than one person, and she's not even sure it's what she really wants, to give in to that cowardice over facing whatever will ultimately become of her back home.

Aiding in things like this moves that forward, one way or another.

"The assistance is appreciated. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I'd hate to do poorly my second time through school," she says, something closer to humor interjected into her tone of voice.
