Christmas at the Watchtower
Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.

Clark smiled as Lois chided his ability to lie. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to hear her second comment, because he didn't react. He pulled out his Blackberry- or rather, a an advanced JLA device in the plastic and metal shell of a Blackberry.

His attention over the next half hour divided between checking updates on ongoing disasters and humanitarian situations, and with greeting the other guests as they arrived.

Krypto made a disapproving noise after staring at Clark for several minutes and getting no response. He wandered toward Lois, and gave a sympathetic whine.

He couldn't have hurt Lois more if he tried. Feeling ignored and unwanted, Lois petted Krypto and sighed.

"C'mon, Krypto. Clark obviously couldn't care less if we exist. Let's go. I have a bag of Beggin' Strips at home for you."

Unless stopped, she took her coat, and the dog, and left confident Clark wouldn't notice or care.

Clark heard the teleporter activate in the next room, and immediately wondered who had arrived. A moment later, he realized that Lois was gone (as was Krypto) and knew what had happened.

He closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly. "Oh Jesus..." he muttered, putting his right hand over his eyes as he winced. You've screwed up this time, Smallville he thought to himself. He wondered if he should go after her. He had already started on his way, when his monitoring device started to beep. He stopped and looked up at the door to the teleporter, then back down at the news update. I'm sorry Lois, I never had a choice... he thought somberly, as he made his way to the hanger bay, careful not to disturb the other party goes. He could handle this alone...
