Clark was at her bedroom door an instant later. He knocked, but there was no answer. Lois was sitting in bed, her head lying against bent knees, tissues covering the comforter. She glanced up when he entered, her eyes red and puffy. “Clark! I’m guilty.”

“Guilty? Of what?” he asked sitting down on the bed next to her.

She wrapped her arms around him. “Of murder, you idiot.”

“Oh. The trial.”

“Yes, the trial. I can never go home, Clark. They want to execute me.” She started to cry again.

“Kal will never let that happen and you know it.”

She gasped between sobs. “Oh, I know it all right.” She sniffled. “He broke me out of jail. ‘Mad Dog Lane’ is on the lam. He risked everything he believes in for me. The D.A. suspects that Superman helped me escape. Everything is all wrong.”

“Mad Dog?” He pressed his lips together so that he wouldn’t laugh. “You?” He couldn’t hold the laughter in any longer.

“Yes, me!” She threw a pillow at him.

Mayson said that she loved him and that she knew that he cared for her, but that she needed someone who, when the chips were down, would put her first, before everything else in his life – including Superman – and she didn’t think that he could ever do that. She had thought for a few minutes that morning that maybe she could teach him to do that, but he proved to her without a shadow of a doubt that he could not.

“We can keep an eye on her for you,” Mr. Olsen had volunteered.

“Of course, we will. She’ll be fine. Make her miss you for a while.”

“Clark’s already left, honey. James and I were just about to leave.”

“Mayson kicked him out? But she loves him.” She glanced between the men for a better explanation. “He needs her.”

. “That can’t be right. I expected him to break up with her for her own good. I warned her that it might…” Her eyes went wide with horror. “Oh, my God, what did I do?” Her head dropped into her hands. “I did this. I came down here to stop him from making a tragic error of judgment and it was already too late. She countered with a preemptive break-up. Oh, Clark, forgive me. Forgive me.”

“You knew he was in love with Lois, yet you didn’t want him to break up with Mayson?”

Not good at all. And apparently, Mayson's all for MAD (mutually assured destruction). Although, it does herald the arrival of this 'verse's Lois Lane. "Get rid of current girlfriend. Check."

Also, it makes her feel as if he broke up because of the itty bitty damage to her face.

Uh-huh. Then how do ya explain the floating, missy? Did you just go for the artificial insemination?

Sounds like she doesn't like not being in control of Clark.

/looks at Sam, Perry, Jimmy, and back again/ I don't know about you, folcs, but I'm not buying the whole platonic angle. Must be the Kryptonian version of platonic.

He could use that Kryptonite...

Poor Clark. And they haven't even invented the little blue pills, yet. But it's okay, they say it happens to every man once in a while...

So, Clark's going to start vibrating so hard his body becomes a cloud of gas and Doc Klein captures a sample with a vacuum cleaner?

He really is sending mixed signals...

So, will he die of an overdose once he meets his Lois? Mayson's probably just been that cheap, strained party stuff with more flour in it than the Real Deal (TM). But Lois? Oh boy, she's likely going to be 100% pure, fresh from the stem. And on an unrelated note, is Linda the bad stuff you can buy at the street corner from the really mucked up dude, cut with fertilizer until it's more poisonous than rat poison?

Huh. Now what kind of glasses is he going to get???

You pick up on subtle.

“I’ll have to agree with you there. But how did you know he was going to break up with her, almost before he did?”
“I wish I could call it psychic intuition.”

"Looks like he finally cut those apron strings."

“If I punched a man in the nose for hurting Lois, I could quite easily kill him.”
“You meant Mayson?” Sam asked.

“Your Lois? Your Lois?” Sam stood up, picked up the knife, and charged him. Superman easily stepped out of his way .... “Stay away from my daughter!” Sam yelled, shaking his fist. “You tights-wearing freak!”

that would be a "power" itself, but you would be Lois-Star-Moonbeam

ups, same mistake again...

jijiji that´s a jelous father
