When it came to dating, it was nice to have time alone with Clark. But really, they weren't able to socialize with other couples because in his world it would mean keeping too many secrets. So today April had an idea.

She arranged for a table for four at a nice diner that had a beautiful view of the Tiber River. And close by, there was an alleyway that would allow privacy for those with PINpoint to arrive for the lunch. After that was all arranged, April sent out two invitations.

To Kairos: Hey Kairos, I would like to invite you and Connor to a lunch with me and Clark. PINpoint coordinates are attached. It is a nice casual event. I hope you can attend.

Then to Clark: Hey sweetie. I thought it would be nice to spend some time with another couple who met in the Nexus. I have invited Kairos and Connor to lunch, and would love you at my side. PINpoint coordinates are attached. See you soon!

With that done, all that is left is to wait.

Connor's just as glad to have the focus off himself, and he's seen a few small displays of her power before now, so he just sits back and smiles faintly in admiration.

Clark's impressed, and he watches the teensy tornado with a faint smile. It's a much better exercise of power than he normally gets to see in Smallville. "That must come in handy."

"Those are very awesome Kairos." April had never seen a tornado in real life before and was amused at the tiny ones.

"Aww, thanks! The energy in the big ones are .. scary but amazing."

"I've only seen a natural one once... luckily not up close." Because he'd probably survive that, but it wouldn't be pleasant.

Clark, who lives in the very center of Tornado Alley, knows the big tornadoes intimately inside and out. "I had to jump into a tornado once, to save a friend who was caught in her truck. It was scarily powerful."

"I could never imagine having such force or power around you. Your friend must have been terrified." April shivers. "The closest natural force I have been close to was an inactive volcano."

Kairos will just nod. "They're pretty terrifying."

"Are natural disasters any worse than the man-made ones?" He's had more experience with those, after fighting in a few wars too many.

"She was," Clark tells April. "But I got her through it with only cuts and bruises." Which was nothing short of miraculous, Clark's powers notwithstanding. He had pinned Lana to the floor of the truck, covering her body with his own, even as the vicious winds ripped the vehicle into shrapnel around them. And all before he ever learned to fly.

With Connor's question about man-made disasters, April thought it would be wise to take the conversation in a new direction.

"Did you guys want to see the Colliseum when we are done here?"

((Major apologies. I was at the hospital with my mom for the past 48 hours.))

"Sounds like fun. I'm up if everyone else is." Pause. Pause pause. "And if you don't need to take a nap," she teases, quietly to Connor.

((Yikes! Is she okay? Are you?))

One eyebrow goes up, and he puts on a scowl, but she's probably started to learn the subtle hints that it's just for show. His eyes look amused. "You calling me a tired old man?"

((No need to apologize! D: Is everything okay?))

"That does sound fun," Clark agrees. "I didn't get to see much up close the last time I was here."

((RL takes importance. I am good with drawing this scene a close with them touring the Colliseum, Hand wave!)

Smiling at the flirting between Kairos and Connor, April knew their double date had been a success. "Cool. Lets go."

((She has a pretty intense case of "got everything in the book". She had emergency surgery to unclog some stints that were put in her leg in March, plus her surgeon put in 2 more while he was there. She's got 7 now keeping the blood flow to her feet. Her major health problems are diabetes and Parkinsons. She's doing better, but the visit wasn't nice. On early Tuesday morning (we're talking 1AM here)mom noticed one of her big toes was sort of black. She'd been having problems with her feet for about 2 weeks now, and the thought of losing a toe kind of scared her, so we rushed right in by ambulance. (No car.) We overheard mom's nurse talking about 'the diabetic patient that came in complaining about foot problems. I guess she thought her feet were going to fall off.' I won't complain anymore -- thanks for listening!))

Kairos dabs at her mouth with a napkin before standing up and taking Connor's hand.

((Ack! Glad it doesn't sound like she's losing anything, though. Neuropathy is one of those things diabetics need to be on high alert for. My girlfriend is a very low-level diabetic, and I have an uncle who's diabetic and has had neuropathy in both legs for years now, but he still gets around with crutches and braces. Not fair she has to deal with that and Parkinson's...))

Connor can be a growly old man, but but that's mostly because he feels his age gives him some license to be. He's all bark, right now, and he grins when she takes his hand, squeezing it back. "Sure. I guess there's still lots in the world I haven't seen, yet."

((My mom has diabetes caused by pancreatic cancer, so I totally get that. Glad to hear she's doing better, and hope she continues to improve!))

Clark puts his arm around April's shoulder once they're on their way, slouching just a little bit to accommodate her height as compared to his. "This was a really great idea. Thank you."

((so then are we all good to end the scene here?))

"I enjoyed it too. This has been a great day."

((sure.))
