Vampire with a Soul

One week had passed since April had gone to her world, gotten kidnapped, and had to be rescued by Victor Allen and Clark. Things were still a jumble in April's head because of the incident. As she tried to sort out emotions from the kidnapping, and of course from the issue that caused the kidnapping -- an alternate of Clark that was raised a Luthor.

The main thing is that communication between April and her father, Spike, had improved since then. The vampire had his own PINpoint now. And it was easier for him to send brief texts.

Or randomly show up, as he had done today. Right now, he was sitting outside the farmhouse and indulging in his habit of smoking. His daughter was inside, making supper. And Clark, should be returning home shortly.

For the most part, the last week of training with Rain had gone as normal, and the only thing out-of-ordinary had been the invitation to supper with April's mother. And it had been the conversation over the dinner table that sparked a little worry for April, knowing that her mother had to deal with threats from someone wishing her harm in Gotham.

Harley had urged that April just continue with her life as usual and not put any more thought into the news. Something that was easier said than done.

So to distract herself today, April thought that it was a good time to invite Nate over, and have him spar a little with Rain. At least it was better than sitting around and worrying -- which she had been doing for the last couple of moments while Rain meditated. So she send Nate a text message and hoped that he would soon respond and arrive.
