Hi Erin,
Like everyone else I enjoyed this section, especially Clark's talk with Martha and Jonathan.
But I also feel the same way that Tank does about Lois's article:
(by the way, what sort of story was he expecting? No one has any reason to believe that the super hero is hiding behind another identity. Maybe he really doesn't have anything to hide?)
I would assume that at this point in the continuity, Clark doesn't know that he's from Krypton, so how can he tell Lois. The only other question that he would hesitate about is "Where does he come from?"
Also, if Lois has Clark on her mind, and she definitely does, then her famous 'reporter's instinct' would tell her that Clark is onto to something that is connected to what he's investigating. That should make Jim happy as well because if they could prove that it was bicoastal....and that it's Lex Luthor involved (something that neither of our heros know, but we do), then she has an even better story.
So now I'll leave the rest up to you unless I feel the need to add my meagre (Canadian) 2 cents.
gerry
