Ditto to what Pam said...and I couldn't resist adding some quotes that I liked.
Facing down a super-powered rival was a new experience, of course, and he'd tried to do it without an overt display of his super-powers. He hadn't quite succeeded, but Lois hadn't picked up on it, fortunately.
You're sure about that, Clark?
He hadn't realized that he would feel quite so strongly that his double was intruding on his territory, and he had even been a little ashamed of himself. Lois certainly wouldn't have appreciated it if she had known.
You're sure about that, Clark?
A moment later, she had seen Superman's silhouette shoot upward and vanish in the direction of Clark's apartment. The whole incident had happened so quickly and quietly that if she hadn't been half-expecting something of the sort, she would have missed it.
That's great!
Clark was her hero and her guardian angel and always had been. He had saved her life countless times. She just hadn't realized it.
Love this realization! And the one that Clark's heart could be broken too.
"I know. But after the Revenge, it was kind of personal. Besides, he tried to shoot you, Clark. No thanks to him that he didn't. I was worried about you. I didn't want to wake up one day and find out he'd managed to have you killed." She hesitated. "That's why I've done everything I can lately to convince him that I don't find you attractive. Other than physically, that is."
Is this true?! Or part of her plan to make Clark realize she cares about him? Or both? Either way, I love it! And I love Clark's reaction.
More soon, please!
