Ten More Things That Haven't Happened...

Title: Ten More Things That Haven't Happened…
Author: Silence
Fandom: Superman Returns and Ohmygod! A Mary-Sue!
Rating: Brought to you by the letters M, or as I used to remember, R. (Mostly for language, and I don't think I was that bad this time.)
Pairing: It's certainly not Clois. Which is funny, because I'm a Clois shipper for all other versions of Superman. Huh. Go figure.
Spoilers: Of course there are spoilers for the movie. Spoilers for general other fandoms too. There are hints and nods toward previous fics too, but nothing really informative.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except Lacey and believe me she wishes I didn't. Everyone else belongs to Warner Brothers, DC Comics and all sorts of people that are not little old me.
Summary: Ten more moments in Lacey's new life in the Superman Returns 'verse.
Notes: A few plot bunnies from last time obviously decided to breed.

Lacey Voorhees spun around in her desk chair with a disgruntled sigh. It was a new year and all she had to show for it was a big honking case of boredom. Oh, and a nifty coffee mug with penguins on it that she got from Lois. It had to be Lois. Only Lois knew that she even liked penguins. Damn Anita Blake influence. At least she wasn't out trying to boff everything in St. Louis…

"Lacey, I nee-"

She plucked a manila folder off her desk and handed it to Perry White without stopping her spinning. "There you go, sir. Don't forget about your conference call at one-thirty." She didn't pay attention to Perry as he smirked to himself while he headed back to his office without so much as a thank you.

Meanwhile, Lacey was still spinning around in her chair like a five year old. At least she was until a pair of hands gripped the back of her chair and brought her to a stop.

"Aren't you dizzy yet?"

Lacey swayed a little in her seat, as she looked up at Clark Kent's blue eyes that hid behind his glasses. Clark. He was the newish factor in this entire life of hers. While trying to keep him from becoming emo boy, they had become sort of friends.. At least until New Year's Eve. Then he had to go and do something dumb like kiss her. Sure, she knew it wasn't anything romantic, but it still made for a What The Fuck moment.

Not that it wasn't a good kiss, because it was. It was just.. It. But they continued to interact the way they always did. WTF moment aside, there was a new understanding between them.. And maybe a few more questions.

She tilted her head and pushed her rambly thoughts aside. "Not yet, why?"

"Because I'm getting dizzy just watching you." Clark smiled at her.

Watching her? A dark eyebrow curved upward and the corner of her mouth quirked up. "What were you doing watching me?"

Clark knew his phrasing was wrong the moment his comment slipped out. Lacey was going to milk it for all it was worth. "I wasn't- I mean, I didn't.. Nothing." Great. Now she actually had him stammering and it wasn't an act.

Ooh. She could work with the Clark act. "Don't watch me so much that you get dizzy and fall for me." She flashed a teasing grin. "You could get bruised." Lacey stared up at him, waiting for his comeback.

She was going to play it that way, was she? After a quick look around, and noticing no one paying attention to them, he smirked at her. "I think I can handle that."

"Psh. Dream on, blue eyes." Lacey rolled her eyes and pushed her chair out of his grasp, causing his balance to falter. "So what are you working on?"

"Perry has me working on the rumors about someone dressed as a bat over in Gotham." He noticed that recognition filled her eyes. "Lacey.."

"I know nothing." She said, knowing full well it was too late.

Clark smiled at her. "I think you know a great many things."

Lacey frowned. "Oh, sure. Go ahead. Throw that back in my face."
