Why this must be read:

This is a very funny, heartwarming story. Connor Kent is a clone of Clark Kent, and he is the fun-loving Superboy. But when he first showed up fresh from a lab, Clark had no idea what to do with him. And kept him as much at arms length as he could for quite a while, which is a douche thing to do to a teen who only wants approval and a place to belong. There are several fics that deal with this by having various people give Clark a clue-by-four. This one, originally posted on

yj_anon_meme, is one of the best. Lois is Awesome, Connor is his loveable self, and Clark Kent gets pwned.

At lunchtime, Lois kicked open the restroom door.

“Lois!” Jimmy shrieked. He zipped up, horror written all over his face.

She jerked a thumb towards the door. “Out,” she said.

“But –” he tried. “This is the men’s room!”

“Out!” Lois said. She stood silently by while he washed his hands and slunk out the door, shooting her sad puppy glances the entire time. She kicked the door shut behind him and surveyed the rest of the bathroom. “Clark. I know you’re in here.”

There was a tell tale guilty cough from a stall near the end. Lois pushed it open and found Clark, fully clothed
and seated. With half a sandwich.

“Really?” she said, raising an eyebrow. “Honestly?”

“Join me for lunch?” he asked sheepishly. Lois stepped inside the stall and closed the door behind her. There wasn’t much room; she ended up standing between Clark’s knees, her hands planted on her hips.

“You’re eating lunch in a bathroom stall in order to hide from a teenage boy,” Lois said. “Clark, I want you to think about what brought you this incredibly shameful moment.”
