*Lois was spending a quiet, partly cloudy morning sitting down on a comfortable chair, reading a packet of papers. She seemed completely absorbed in her reading.*

Jess had been spending a lot more time outside of Wayne Manor since she had returned, trying her best to steer clear of anyone's eyes.
She had been out in the gardens all day and decided it was time to go inside and get something to eat. She hopped out of a tree and started making her way back to the house when she noticed Lois sitting outside.
She tried to put on a smile as she walked up to the table.

*It took Lois a few moments to realize that someone else was there. Putting her reading material away, she smiled uncertainly.*
"Are you by any chance..."
*A part of her wished it wasn't Jess.*

"Jess Cartwright, pleasure to finally meet you miss Lane" she offered a slightly dusty hand to Lois.

*Lois' smile widened and firmly shook Jess' hand without missing a beat.*
"Call me Lois," *she said in a friendly tone.*
"I had heard you were back but I hadn't see you around."

Jess smiled and wiped her hair out of her eyes before pushing her hands in to her jeans "Yea, I don't spend much time inside of the manor anymore" she laughed "been taking care of the gardens, Alfred's been teaching me."

*A strange silence settled between them as Lois thought of what to say.*
"They all... missed you very much," *she said awkwardly, choosing her words carefully.*

Jess laughed and rocked her feet, not looking at Lois "I missed them too, I, I imagine they told you what happened?"

"Er... Bruce told me just enough for me to get the idea."

Chuckling she nodded "He'd do that, not exactly one for filling in the details is he?" Jess coughed and pursed her lips together "But I imagine the circumstances wouldn't be so strange, being from Metropolis and all."
((Don't look in to the coughing, it's just something I do, got asthma and all.))

*Lois couldn't help but let out a little laugh.*
"Yes well... Metropolis can be pretty bizarre."
"Did Bruce tell you why I'm here or...?"

"Na, he failed to mention why a famous reporter was doing staying in his house" Jess snickered "unless your doing an exposé on him."

*Lois chuckled.*
"No, not an expose. I haven't really been writing since I got here," *she said, the end of her sentence turning a bit sombre.*
"I actually ran into some... er, trouble at this asylum and Batman sort of... saved my ass."
*She had a hard time trying to explain what she went through using language that wouldn't knock someone unconscious.*

Jess furrowed her brows "What were you doing at the asylum, I mean if you don't mind me askin?"

"Oh, I was writing a story, trying to get an inside look at everything," *she said, quickly dismissing any thought of her ever being crazy.*
"I didn't think I could do that without actually being in the inside. That's when everything kind of went down hill."
