And then she saw Lex. Rather, she woke up next to Lex. Not nearly as scandalous as it could have been, he seemed just as confused as she was and equally as bothered by the entire situation. Their counterparts had a history, and it was a combination of the two lives that seemed to draw them together. When he had left in a hurry, Lois had been angry, but not because she had been left. No, it was because she hadn't done it first. While Lex was the last person she'd want to align herself with, he was a connection to the life she was so despearte to cling onto. Maybe it was just as well that she keep her distance, though. Without clearly knowing his intentions and past experinces had taught her to never fully trust a Luthor.

One of the dogs pawed at her leg, whimpering for access up onto the couch where she sat. Lunden. Out of the two animals, he had been the one that had taken longer to warm up to Lois. She had always read that animals were keenly aware of acute changes and the beagle's attitude toward to Lois had been filled caution. Walter had been quick to accept the newest facet of his owner's personality, whereas as Lunden had kept his distance, till then. For as much as they picked up on the smallest of changes, her emotions were something that they seemed in tune with. The smaller dog nudged his way onto her lap, his head resting on her thigh and she offered the animal a small smile. Whatever significant changes he felt, he was ignoring them in favor of bringing comfort. Resting a hand on his head, she gave his ears a scratch and let out a sigh. "So, this is our reality, huh?" She wasn't expecting an answer, of course. Lindsay had seeemingly allowed her to take the forefront with little fight and was keeping mostly quiet. However, she could feel the woman almost nod her head. Lois let out another sigh and raked a hand through her hair before placing it back down on the dog and continuing to pet him.
