Clark looked at him for a moment... and then he smiled just a little.

"No orphanage," he admitted as he looked down the road. They wouldn't be able to see it yet, but his mother's truck was on the way, just over the hill. "But I wouldn't worry about it."

Steve sat up then.

"Wouldn't worry about it! Of course, I'm gonna worry about it. He'd be staying with us if we had the room but we don't."

He'd had Bucky stay over a night or two, but he kept going back to the barn like a stubborn mule. It drove Steve insane.

Clark just grinned.

'Maybe someone else has a room. Smallville's small but it's not that small."
