kidnapping Clark to a red-sun Earth
Things were bad. April had received a piece of silver kryptonite that had infected Clark with paranoia. Worse, the person she had thought had sent it actually had not. Which made her believe that Professor Fine, aka Brainaic, was behind the infection.
Clark had gone to the Nexus, where lucky Victor was able to intercept him. Through text messages and planning, April sent Victor the coordinates to an Earth with a red sun. One of the back-up plan places that April had established previously... just in case they ever had to deal with Clark in red Krpytonite or brainwashed state again.
She stood outside an apartment in the universe, waiting for Victor to show up. The red sun above her made her uneasy, but it was the only way to deal with Clark without his powers.

"It almost didn't," he says to Victor, very seriously. "Getting me to go along with it, that is. I think I was about this close to imagining you turning on me too, and it never would've worked if that had happened. Or you would've had to corner me with green kryptonite to catch me. Chloe tried but she didn't want to get close enough to incapacitate me, and I got away." He may not remember a lot of specific details, but being subjected to kryptonite for real tends to be more vivid. "It really was just luck. And... I'm sorry for saying I would kill you." He's very, very glad that they went someplace with a red sun, where he couldn't hurt her.

"Good thing for having back-up plans."

"As much as I hate being Kal, I'd much rather deal with red kryptonite than do this ever again," he agrees, a hundred percent sincere. He looks down at April again, lightly stroking her upper arm with his thumb, trying not to expend too much energy but needing to give and receive a little reassurance after the horrible experience they all just shared. "Good thinking, finding a place like that. We probably won't be able to use the same one again but it was a great idea, not telling me about it."
no subject
"One of our Nexus associates shared the coordinates with me. Last time you had been LOL'd into Kal-El."
no subject
Victor doesn't actually mind Kal except for that he's using Clark's body and sometimes ends up upsetting Clark. Kal as a person, though... not so much of a problem with him, as long as he isn't hurting anyone. She figures saying as much would be a mistake right now. "Yeah," she says, trying to find a foothold in the conversation. Settling on just 'yeah' instead.

He runs a hand over his face. "How bad do I look?" He's looking a hell of a lot better than he did by the time they got the silver kryptonite out of him, but he's still a wreck.

He still doesn't have the energy to get up unless he absolutely has to, but he feels kind of guilty for dragging them out here and wasting time lying around in a field. He's not used to needing recovery time, and it's throwing him off. "Sorry."
no subject
"Don't be sorry."

Victor, sleeping is not a waste of time. It's actually vaguely necessary sometimes. But she doesn't want to sleep right now, she wants to stay up and play. She is every parent's worst nightmare.

She smirked over to Victor. "Did Clark mention that he got LOL'd into a kangaroo recently?"

"There are obvious kangaroo jokes?" he asks, because come on, do other people do nothing but research obscure things like this in case one day their day comes along? "I wasn't the only one," he points out. "April was a deer, too."
no subject
She blushes at him revealing she had been a deer. "It was really different. Being an animal. Unusual."
no subject
Her favorite is: what do you call a lazy baby kangaroo? A pouch potato. She thinks it's the funniest thing.
"A deer! That's really interesting. I've... turned into a bird a couple times, but not in years, and I'm thankful for it. Did you two have fun?"

"Clark had to fight off a stag that had showed up. But other than that it was fun. We raced. Played hide and seek. And got to eat grass."
