Clark is in a sickeningly good mood. There may be whistling. It's probably not because he's restocking the kitchen cupboards with the latest canned goods obtained in town earlier.

He may or may not tell you actually why, depending on who you are and how you ask.

Eden listens, chuckling at Chloe's superpowers.

"That's amazing that you found her again."

It would happen to someone like Clark, wouldn't it? Eden forces the bitter feelings away from her face - her expression remains polite and interested.

"Has she been here to the house? Maybe I've seen her."

Eden looks a bit surprised. "Wow - that's dedication. How'd you know where she was?" Worth noting is the fact that Eden thinks Chloe is from Clark's world and happened to wind up here like the rest of them.

Eden: still surprised. Also impressed. "Woah. ...That's so romantic." She beams quietly.

Before her expression falls to puzzlement: "She didn't know who you were?"

"Of course it is," Eden tells him. "You can hear her voice out of millions. How's that not the sweetest thing in the world?"

At the explanation, Eden's puzzlement smooths over into a look of comprehension. "Oh, yeah, I bet. Wow. An alternate universe friend."

Eden isn't terribly weirded out - Clark seems to be taking it okay - and she's most pointedly not thinking of Gabriel.

"I'm glad," Eden tells him sincerely. Seems like there are a lot of ways a relationship like that could end badly.

"Sure am." And she moves to the door.

Eden glances back at him--

-- oh, right, superhuman everything.

She cannot keep up with all your powers, Clark!

Sheepishly she mutters, "Ah. Right."

Eden needs to make a chart.

"Since I'm not sure if the radio stations are up, I'd rather not."

"I can deal," Eden replies - though when Clark does pick her up, she'll be a bit tense for a moment. Being close to a man she's not trying to seduce is weird.

Clark is a lot of things to Eden - saviour, hero type she's both jealous of and awed by, superpowered guy - but her feelings aren't romantic.

"It's perfect." She takes in everything she can, trying to place if Metropolis is an alternate of some city she knows. For now she focuses more on the features than the people.

"Thanks," she says, looking up at him.

"Places to live that aren't riddled with gangs?" Eden asks, and she's only half-joking.

"If you could, I'd love you forever," Eden says, distractedly. She's got a few twenties. That should be enough to survive for a while. And she's going to be surviving the right way, damnit.

"Or the address of a relief agency or two. Unless there's some alternate me hanging around - or was - I don't have my bank account anymore."

Eden sobers at the mention of medical facilities, and nods when Clark's done.

"Okay. So, do you want to meet up in LuthorCorp Plaza in a few hours? Hopefully I'll have everything-- well, I'll start to have things sorted out by then."

She musters a small smile. "Daily Planet it is, then."

She'd normally add something like 'it'd be nice to meet Chloe', or 'wow, glad society's getting back on track', but she's a little preoccupied right now.

"So let's say...three hours? Three and a half. I have no idea how long reorganizing an entire life takes." She forces herself to keep smiling and ignore the thought of however long I have a life.
