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.

Once the acorn is planted into the earth, and covered up, Clark shows her how to water it. "And now, we wait for it to grow."

Clark senses what she's doing through the bond, and adds his own loving thoughts of their children.

Well that sounds... slightly more ominous. He frowns a little. "Did she give you anything?"

Clark certainly hopes that doesn't mean someone will have to die in the mindscape. Maybe they can just use their own memories of that sort of sacrifice instead. "I know which two of the three I liked better."

"Yes." His answer comes without hesitation. And in the mindscape, they won't need kryptonite either. This is one sacrifice he'll gladly make over and over again.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Kiss)

Clark closes his eyes a little at the bite, so familiar to him now, giving of himself to his love. It is a bit weird to be watched during the process, but it's a part of April, and he supposes there's little reason to be self-conscious about it.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Say what?)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-02-19 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course they couldn't," Clark says. "It's hard to steal what you cannot understand."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Eyebrow)

Clark thinks so too, and he doubts it will be as easy as willing it to be in another season, like before. "The tree needs to grow."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Can you run that by me again?)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-02-19 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"So she needs to grow, too." It makes sense.

Their children aren't teenagers yet, so he can't speak from much personal experience, but he remembers well what it was like to be one himself. "Teach and guide them, encourage their triumphs and help them work through their failures, give them the space they need to discover what person they're going to be."
kalel_ofkrypton: (April and Clark)

"Just like with real kids. But it's well worth it."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Hug)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-02-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Clark hugs her, in full agreement. "Me too. But I'll take what we can get."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Holding hands)

"I guess... in a way, your voices had to grow up too. We'll learn about them together."
