"We're
so
sorry about what happened between you and Lois."
Clark felt Kara's warmth as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling him into a tight hug. He only half-heartedly returned the embrace. He too felt Karen's affectionate touch, rubbing circles into his back. But neither woman could bring him much comfort. Not then. He was still reeling from the very recent breakdown of his years-long relationship.
"We're here for you. Remember that." Karen told him in a soft voice, so different from her take-charge Power Girl persona.
Clark gave only a short nod. His mind was miles away. Sitting on Karen's couch, resting his chin on a curled fist, Clark could only ponder why Lois had decided to end things. The break-up wasn't even the worst part, but rather how he had been blindsided when he returned from a cosmic League mission. He enjoyed not even a single day back on Earth before being hit with the news that his relationship was over.
Superman could endure a great many things. But a broken heart? That was still up in the air.
It was tough times like this that made Clark feel grateful for having such a close family.
"Thanks, guys. Ladies." Clark frowned, unsure of how to address Karen and Kara. He certainly couldn't call either of them girls - even if they did keep the moniker as part of their hero names. For both of them, their physical maturity was clear as day... even if Clark himself made it a point to
not
notice. The taller man gave a heavy sigh, feeling Karen draw her gentle hands over his broad shoulders.
"I just... I thought things were going well. I told her I was Superman and we finally moved in together a few months ago. Right before I left for that League mission to another dimension, we talked about building a future, maybe getting married. But as soon as I got back..."
Clark frowned, his face hardening as recent memories left bitterness in their wake. He felt Kara hug him even tighter. He let out another sigh.
"I don't know. I'm still trying to make sense of it." Clark absently scratched at his brow. His nerves grew steely as he fought down feelings of sadness. What happened happened. There was no point crying about it. He sat up straight, turning to face Karen, forcing a smile. "But enough about that. How did you two handle that ice villainess? I heard it was a tough fight."
But Karen shook her head. She wasn't having any of it. For a reason unknown to him, Clark was suddenly struck by how beautiful she looked. Even wearing a simple white tank top and sweatpants and with a stern expression on her face, Karen was an alluring vision. But she was also his own blood. Clark reminded himself of that quickly and pushed those thoughts from his mind. The older of the two blondes crossed her arms - Clark ignored the effect this had on her cleavage - and gave him a frustrated look.
"We handled it. But we're not talking about her. We're talking about
you.
" Karen said firmly.
Clark pressed his lips into a line, nodding. Arguing with his cousin - either of them - was an unwinnable fight. He let the matter drop.
An instant later, Karen's expression returned to being soft and sympathetic. She threw her arms around Clark just as Kara had, drawing him in for a deep hug. Both ladies tightened their embrace, smothering him from both sides with their warmth and affection. And as much as he tried, even a boy scout like Clark couldn't ignore the softness of their breasts pressing against his arms... or their nipples poking through the fabric of their tops. He did his very best to put his mind off of it.
"She's crazy for letting a stud like you get away." Kara cooed into his ear. She scooched her body closer on the couch until her nearly bare thigh pressed against his hip - Clark silently bemoaned Kara's preference for skirts and short shorts. Next, he felt Kara's soft lips press against his temple. "I thought Ms. Lane was supposed to be smart."
Karen scoffed on Clark's opposite side.
"She who falls off a thousand buildings? Not
that
smart, apparently." The older blonde's voice was dry, mocking.
Clark's frown deepened - his relationship with Lois may have been over, but the love he felt for the woman didn't just disappear. But he knew the two ladies were only trying to cheer him up.
But still... "stud"?
"Uh... thanks. I appreciate the support. Really."
Clark cleared his throat, definitely
not
thinking about his arm getting buried in the deep valley of Karen's cleavage or the pleasant sensation of Kara's lips peppering kisses on the side of his head. Nope. He wasn't thinking about those things at all.
"Please. We're family. The blood of Krypton has to stick together." Kara sweetly insisted. She stopped her kisses, now stroking her fingers through his thick hair. Not just affectionately.
Lovingly.
Karen hummed in affirmation on his opposite side. She drew one of her arms back, rubbing circles in his back again. But this time she did it slower, more sensual. Taking the time to
feel
his body under his dress shirt.
Or rather, that's how it felt to Clark. He reminded himself the two ladies - his cousins - were only trying to cheer him up. Nothing untoward was happening. He was just overthinking things. Yes.
Clark shifted in his seat, straightening his back. Karen and Kara had been hugging him for a good while now - and showed no signs of letting go. The younger blonde continued to pet him, running her fingers through his hair. The bustier - the
older
of the pair continued feeling up his shoulders and back, massaging him slowly, deliberately.
The man nearly croaked out his next words. The way things were going, what he had to say would only make his situation worse - or
better
, from a certain perspective.
"Right. Lois said it'd be awkward running into me every morning..."
Finally, Kara drew away from him. Clark's alternate universe cousin sat up on her knees, staring aghast at the man before her.
"She
kicked you out?
" The usually perky blonde was incensed, damn near red-faced.
Even Karen ceased her back massage. Clark could feel her hard stare at the back of his head.
"Not quite." Clark answered calmly, gesturing for Kara to cool down. "It was a mutual agreement. So just relax. I'll be staying at the Fortress of Solitude until I can find a new apartment."
Behind him, Karen gave a mocking sputter.
