The quiet can be disconcerting ((tag Clark))
It has been a few hours since Clark took April home. In that time, she fed. She bathed. And she tried to lie down for a little bit.
But she can not close her eyes for long. She can not go into a deep slumber. The quiet in her mind is like a blank canvas. Plus, it just gives her more time to go over and over again everything that she experienced.
Slowly, she is remembering the others using her fears against her. The claustrophobia. The flames and the heat of the fire. The fear of losing her children.
"Clark?" He was checking on the children for her, when she got cleaned up.
But April knows that she doesn't have to call out loudly to get his attention.

But thinking of their children brings her back to the situation at hand.
"We can't let Maloker into their lives Clark. They are innocent."

"In fact, it might be a little mean... but we could keep a few pieces of Kryptonite around the doll."

April knows the pain her father went through -- loving her mother. And she would never wish that upon Clark. And when she thinks about her children in that situation, it just brings the tears back.
"We will find a better solution. We have to." Her voice is broken. But determined.

"Harry has both the demontrap and the doll secured safely. Why can't we look at a better way?"
"The Fates must have told you something..."

"Besides..." She bites her lips. Knowing that she speaks not just her fears, but his too. "I don't want to become my mother."
"I don't want the children see me speaking to a doll."

April reflects for a moment. Then looks up at him. "I would like to believe that there is a way to make the voices a part of my true self. No Maloker. Just me."
"And maybe, that is what the Fates has hinted at."
