<strong>Location: Kent Farm, Smallville, USA<br/>Hero: Superman<br/>TAG: Open</strong><br/>(http://cache.reelzchannel.com/assets/content/blogimages/HenryKentREELZ.jpg)<br/><br/>Kal came from the kitchen with a fresh beer in his hand and not a single worrying thought on his mind.  He'd already called Lois and told her he was at the house and had the weekend off.  With a text sent to Miss Sparks that he was out of action for the weekend, and the phone then turned off and thrown away into a cushion, he'd officially fallen off the grid.  Following a hit of blue kryptonite as well (it temporarily taking away his powers) he was also allowed to relax his will.  Any time Kal was without blue kryptonite, it took a certain amount of will to block out most of the things assaulting his senses.  TV commercials on a tv a block away, kids playing in a school across town, a couple brutally fighting in Metropolis, it all came at him if not for an active amount of will filtering it all out.  And it wasn't so hard to do on its own, but keeping it up all day, everyday, all the time...It wore a guy down.<br/><br/>Such things were not on his mind however.  The only thing that concerned him at the moment was when he had to feed his dog Jax, a golden retriever that the word old just didn't cover, and when to cook the two steaks he'd gotten for him and Lois.  Guessing by the sun he supposed he had a few hours to kill till his lady love got here, which meant that a few hours spent on the porch drinking and listening to the radio sounded like a perfect plan.  Taking a long sip of beer he sat down on the porch swing, enjoying a few memories of his teen years and also a few more recent ones with Lois.  Looking to his dog Kal smiled and said, "Surprised this old thing has held together all these years,"  He rubbed the smooth wood of the handle he felt the carving he'd made when he was sixteen, 'L+C' with a poorly drawn heart around it.  Lois, just like anyone who sat there had seen it, but it wasn't a issue with her.  She knew his whole story and excepted that there had been a love of two before her.  Truth was though she knew she had nothing to worry about, they were meant to be.  It was just that simple.<br/><br/>"Same goes for you, you old dog."  Kal smiled at the animal and got a grunt from him in return.  God it was a good day on the Kent Farm.
