Ah, that's that fun little romp by Wendy, called
Faux Pas One of my favorite revelations!
Okay, found one, though it's a bit backwards
"Do you think you'll be seeing Mayson again?" Lois asked, striving to be nonchalant.
"What? Oh, maybe," Clark answered without looking up. If he had, he would have been able to read the storm signals that Lois was sending out, but he was busy, and he didn't.
"Oh, really," Lois drawled, feeling ignored. "What do you see in her anyway, Clark?" Her voice was steely and filled with venom, and this did capture his attention.
"Uh, she's very nice," he said as he looked up, almost feeling guilty admitting this.
"Don't you find her a little... needy?" Lois asked. "She strikes me as someone who's very desperate for a man. Not a very attractive quality in a woman if you ask me," Lois pointed out, sarcastically.
Clark was starting to get a little annoyed. All these mixed signals from Lois were pretty confusing. He was a little irritated by how she was first warm, then cold with him. "Are you saying that the only women who find me attractive are needy ones?" he asked, sharply.
"No, I'm just asking if you really think that you have any kind of a future with her," Lois retorted, angrily, so caught up in the argument that she had no idea what she was saying.
"Well, maybe I do," Clark replied, retaliating in kind.
"Oh, really. And how could you possibly have a future with a woman who thinks of you with distaste?" Lois asked, the words pouring out of her on their own.
"What? Mayson enjoys my company. She doesn't think of me with distaste," Clark said, plainly confused by this new attack.
"Hah!" Lois exclaimed, triumphantly. "That's because she doesn't know, does she, Clark? She doesn't know about your alter-ego, does she, Superman?"
Her words just hung in the air for a long moment with no reaction from him. Lois's hand crept up to cover her open mouth as she realised what she had just said.
"You know?" he finally asked, his voice shaking a bit.
