So this is in the future when Damian and Jon are an established couple (living together but I like to think they’re married and on a farm so Damian can have space for all his pets) and Dami, in a decision for his own mental health, had been making a gradual move towards retiring from hero work and has finally moved on to a full civilian life (as an artist? a  veterinarian? full time charity work? your choice) but Jon is still supermaning as Dami wouldn’t ask him to make that choice to stop with him. However that doesn’t make it easy to sit by and watch the one he loves get hurt, physically and mentally, time and time again. So to learn how to cope with the pain of watching Jon do what he does without being involved in it with him, he calls up Lois. Asks her how she can stand to watch her husband and son (because of course the rest of Damian’s family is still part The Life as well, which just adds to the struggle) repeatedly get hurt and not jump in to fight with them. And she gives him advice on how she fills her time and copes with the anxiety of waiting to hear if your loved ones are ok. She tells him whenever he’s struggling and alone, waiting to hear from Jon or his family to know that they’re back safe from a mission or patrol, to give her a call. Any time of day she’ll answer and talk with him so he’s not alone (because she knows what it’s like being in the position and not having anyone to talk to about it). They’ll talk about anything and nothing just to occupy their minds when it gets too much because sometimes being the pillar of support for a hero can be exhausting too. Share in new hobbies they’ll pick up in their spare time and talking about how dumb whatever politician Lois had to write about is. Anyway because of this they grow really close and next joint family party, the family are all wondering why the two are so attached and making inside jokes with each other because when did that happen? Jon/Clark will come home earlier than expected after missions and find Lois/Damian cooking together or something just laughing and talking.

Just some good mother-in-law/son-in-law bonding

that's so sweet! and I love it haha. and god, just imagine, Lois is there for Damian for YEARS and walks him through this stress and turmoil and Damian is so grateful.

And one night, Lois calls him instead of the other way around. She's in tears and nervous and explains what came over the newswire didn't sound good and for once she's SCARED. And Damian's practically waited for this moment his whole life, packs a bag and heads to the farm immediately.

The worst is avoided and Clark and Jon come home to find Damian and Lois asleep on the couch, sodas and wines and tissues and movie cases and the like across the table in front of them, Lois asleep on Damian's shoulder while holding his hand. Damian's only half awake himself and smiles to the returning supers and says 'Welcome home.'

Awesome! Nice to see her getting some attention. I’ve never really read much with Lois in it or Jimmy Olsen, I kind of just know the bare bones about them to be honest, so maybe I’ll check it out and learn me something. I do like her attitude and relationship with Clark. And I pray to god DC doesn’t use the book to break Clark and Lois up or something. Like I’m not even a Lois fan but I just need one goddamn stable relationship in this universe. If Lois and Clark can’t make it, is there any hope for anyone?
