  Summary

  It’s like this: after Lois’s article is published, after Lex is arrested, after Metropolis has begun the long process of being stitched back together, after the president of Boravia has been declared dead, after Kara comes and goes and takes Krypto with her, after after after, Clark changes out of the suit, flies upward until he’s sure no one will hear him, and screams until he’s hoarse.

  or, Clark has a breakdown hundreds of miles above the Earth, Lois eats a bagel, and both of them spend a likely above-average amount of time on a park bench.
