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.

To her, it's all information that's there - none of it's personal, nothing that matters to Annie herself needs to be shared, nor the things she knows about others that they've trusted with her need to move past the cage of her own mind. It's been made clear to her from the start that information held on the network isn't something protected, isn't something truly privledged. She can look to the people who make up the exceptions and know that those rules of privacy and secrets are as they always have been.

No secret is a secret unless no one else knows.

Holiday is a casualty among the ranks, and one who had been working for the imPorts, not against them. It wasn't even his first time working with foreign entities, based on his history, nor his first time working with imPorts.

It still went wrong. There's still information the government holds where some parts don't want things to be known, want greater control. Annie doesn't find it surprising, but since she's seen it, and since Clark isn't another Houka Inumuta (or anyone else who catalogs everything they find on the network and more), she's willing to make this piece of the growing puzzle visible for Clark to make of it what he will. She's more surprised no one else has... or it may just be another case of people all with different priorities.

That comes up as regularly here as it does elsewhere. Everyone has some kind of agenda, for better and worse.

"Thank you for meeting me here," she says once she finds him, making it a polite statement. She has her communicator, still partly melted since she's never bothered to get it fixed, in her pocket. Much like she's casually dressed, in a hoodie and loose fitting pants, the atmosphere of the whole diner is relaxed. It's why she'd made this suggestion. It's not a place where people are overtly suspicious of anything - except, perhaps, a poor appetite. Who knows?
