"So what do you do for a living, Leo?" Jimmy asks.
Leonardo just shifted his eyes towards the man for a moment while pushing up his glasses. While the movie was playing, Clark just gave Chloe a strange look, while Lois just laughed. From either the movie or Jimmy question, probably even Lois didn't know.
"I sort of do a lot of things. While officially I am just a street cop, I do quite a bit of detective work since I catch petty pickpockets, killers for higher, serial killers, gangster minions and gang leaders." Leonardo replied. "Though recently, I have been flying about tracking either high profile serial killers or wanted criminals of various similar crimes."
Jimmy just froze at hearing this and sent Chloe a look which she just smiled awkwardly. Clearly she didn't tell him what he did and he began to lightly sweat a bit. For what reason, it made him slightly curious, but probably has to do with his homelife or legal name. Since Jimmy's actual name is Henry James Olsen with a younger brother named James Bartholomew Olsen.
While it is not really important, yet for some reason both want to go by the nickname Jimmy. Which made it a bit confusing, but if that is how they want to go about life, so be it. Leonardo was too busy to take time to investigate him further. Unless of course he is invited and he appears on his suspect list, then that will be a different story.
"Then you must be quite busy." Jimmy coughed awkwardly out.
"Just a bit, however, I am enjoying my small vacation." Leonardo replied with a shrug.
Due to his apartment being wrecked and the massive headache the department is under due to Amanda Waller. It was agreed Leonardo would take a vacation since while he is amazing at what he does, he also creates problems alongside it. Much like Amanda Waller, gang leaders and various power players.

For the next few days, while working on the farm and kicking Clark to finish college and earn his degree in journalism. He mainly kept Clark either focused on something or another, so he wouldn't sit and sulk about Lana. Even though he admitted they weren't good together, Clark knew if she asked him currently, he would be at her side in a heartbeat.
During which Leonardo wanted to hang out with Aurora but she rejected since it would be a waste of money on a plane ticket or gas money. So he just shrugged and just chatted with her over the phone for a while at night. As for just flying over or telling her he could fly himself, Leonardo has long stated he gave up on such things. Since despite a few signs he gave her, it seems to go over her head.
Now while Clark was busy sitting in class, Leonardo was currently looking over the wine barrels him and Jonathan made. From what he can tell, they have been coming along nicely and it is a slight shame Jonathan can't try them. Granted, he probably won't be trying them either since he is not big on alcohol hence, Leonardo decided he would give it to Clark and a few friends as their wedding present.
Yet, while he was looking them over, Leonardo noticed someone had come to the farm. So heading out of the cellar, Leonardo found a blonde hair woman looking around. Her blonde hair reflected the sunlight while her blue eyes shifted all over before landing on him. Where she did the same as him and looked him up and down.
"Can I help you?" Leonardo asked.
"Does Clark Kent live here?" She asked.
"He does, but I don't think you're his type. He has a thing for brunettes." Leonardo replied. "He is currently in class and should be back in an hour or so. Do I need to pass a message along?"
"No, I can wait." She replied calmly.
"Well if you can travel from Australia, then waiting an hour is doable." Leonardo replied as he guessed who the woman was.
The woman before him was different from the actress for she had brighter blonde hair instead of the darker brown blonde hair. Her features were a bit more defined making her beautiful that outshone others. Which didn't surprise him much since Kryptonians were very advanced and long optimized themselves to have a high degree of looks.
Then his eyes drifted down and he didn't want to come across as a pervert or a lecherous person. Leonardo had to admit she was a bit blessed with her womanly curves as they were bigger then Aurora. Which in hindsight, probably isn't much of a compliment since Aurora wasn't big in the first place.
The sun also seems to be adjusting her appearance slightly such as fixing a scar here or adjusting her wrist muscle there. Hence, made Leonardo wonder why she died in the show despite just entering it. Despite spending six weeks here, she didn't even seem that strong and died a slightly unreasonable death.
Now that he was here and Clark actually doing his training, the chances of her dying in a similar situation is greatly lowered. For Cark is still growing and hasn't reached the stage or mentality of his future self. Leonardo is proud to see Clark moving forward once more after hitting a wall for a while.
'Clark is moving forward and this time I do too. Yet, I don't know how?' Leonardo felt a bit depressed about it.
While he does go out once in a while to help dangerous situations such as natural disasters. Even those rare things became more rare since Clark learned to fly by himself. Since Clark has begun to branch out from this half of the world.
So even if Clark probably didn't mean it, Leonardo felt himself being pushed to a corner. Since when he sets off, Clark's already on his way. Even when it is a petty crime that the police are able to handle easily, Clark will appear there. Which made him remind Clark not to overdo it and tone back his heroics.
'It's fine to be a mentor, but Clark is already stepping out and can think for himself. He has been for a while and I don't need to monitor Clark's life. Clark is a young adult now and doesn't need me to babysit him and only push him forward from time to time.' Leonardo thought to himself once more.
Leonardo momentarily became lost in such thoughts and not for the first time. Much like how Clark wants to fall back on Lana, Leonardo found himself trying to think of Clark as his fourteen year old self he met when he first came to this world and not the nineteen year old. Which made him feel a bit of a loss and pain for a moment, since he felt alone in the world since it's clear that Clark doesn't need him as much anymore.
Even his girlfriend Aurora seems to keep him at arm's length at times like now. He could easily just go to her, but she said no. Hence besides staying on this empty farm doing chores, Leonardo once more realized how alone he felt.
"How did you know I came from Australia?" The woman asked.
"The clothes, while many won't be able to tell, but you forgot one tag." Leonardo pointed to the sweatshirt she was wearing.
"Oh." she responded after pulling the tag off.
"So, who are you?" Leonardo asked.
"My name is Raya. I am Clark's friend."
"Oh, Clark mentioned you. I guess he will be surprised once he gets back." Leonardo said.
Clark did mention her to him the night when he returned from the Phantom Zone. While it wasn't much due to the little time they met each other and leaving the zone. Leonardo learned Raya seems to be a bit forward and a bit blunt with her words while believing in destiny and fate.
"He told you about me? Anyways, who are you?" Raya finally asked.
"Leonardo Kent." Leonardo replied. "Clark's my brother."
"He didn't mention you." Raya replied bluntly.
Leonardo would be lying if he didn't feel a small sting with those words, but he knew why Clark did it. Raya must have mentioned that she worked under Jor-El, so Clark must have kept Leonardo existent to himself inside the Phantom Zone. Since it wouldn't do to tell those that wanted Clark dead in there that there is another son of Jor-El outside.
In the end, Leonardo just led her into the house where he gave her a glass of water.
