     he says this like he hadn't spent the last few weeks observing the reporter's daily routine for the very purpose of orchestrating such a chance encounter. because of course he didn't—that would be crazy. Lex flashes her a charming smile and gestures to the cashier behind the counter as he says, " may I buy you a coffee in exchange for a moment of your time? neither of us have anywhere else we need to be for the next half hour or so, and this won't take long. "

     despite the offer being phrased in the form of a question, lois knows him well enough by now that the mogul does not ask—he insists. not only does Lex buy her coffee, he recites her order exactly as lois herself would have done. " the daily planet's latest headline, " he says, revealing what this is really about as they wait for their drinks. " I'd congratulate you for making the front page again, of course, but writing about the so-called man of steel seems like it practically guarantees that spot. "

     when their drinks are placed on the counter, Lex grabs them both. " but this isn't about him, it's about me. your latest puff piece on superman said some things about me that could be considered libel. and I'm certain my legal team could convince a judge to see it that way, too. but I don't want it to have to come to that, lois. " he holds out her drink to her, leaning in with a smile that's far less charming than his first.

" what I want is a retraction. "

❝  oh it’s okay… there’ll always be another concert, right  ?   man, i wish i had the power to manipulate the weather or somethin’.  ❞   look at him. this giant of a man dramatically sinking into couch like someone destroyed his favorite planet. heavy rain   &   unpredictable weather conditions, they said.

why does he have such useless powers anyway  ?!   being able to travel anywhere at will doesn’t do anything for this scenario. Peter sighs out, expression solemn. now to find a way to cope.   ❝  y’think you can bake some chocolate chip cookies to cheer me up  ?    ❞

" okay, we need to attack this strategically. " rory explains, her tone authoritative. they're on the batle front after all! the mother-daughter duo stands just at the curb in front of doose's market, surveying the town square in front of them, all decked out for the brand new but soon to be annual mid-winter festival ( not to be confused with the winter festival. this is different ). " if we play this right, i'll have a corn dog in each hand within the next ten minutes. " which is exactly what she's here for. she wouldn't have come in from philidelphia for this otherwise. she was promised corn dogs.
