Oh, no! Please tell me she's not going to end up disappearing!
And, then, Clark will search for her, look in her notebooks and see her doodles. But it will be too late.
No, she's not going missing, but I can see I've missed out on a massive possible plot point there ... I love the idea of Clark finding her notepad ... hmmm
For a second there, I thought Clark was going to leave the streak across his neck because it was "Lois's signature". Awwww. Thankfully, he found his brain and used it. Superman didn't need her signature on his neck. No, sirreee.
He had to wrestle with his heart ... his mind only just won!
Really enjoying the story so far, KatherineKent
...
Thanks. Hopefully you keep enjoying it through the next 2 parts ...
Considering that she had noticed, but said nothing, and was clearly trying to hide some kind of emotional reaction, she was happy to leave him sporting a blue mark all day. Her respect for him knew no bounds!
Oh no...totally mixed signals here
. It's not what you think, Clark!
Nope. He interprets Lois' 'defensiveness' as 'uncaring'. *sigh*
Yet he couldn’t bring himself to wash it off. He closed his eyes and took a shuddering breath. "Lois," he whispered then breathed deeply again. Opening his eyes he pushed away his emotions and began to rub at the blue line.
Like Virginia--I wasn't sure he'd wash that pen mark off for a second there...
Got you all... I hoped you'd have that reaction.
Oh great, and Clark already flew off
. This can't be good. Not sure if Clark can get back before a mid-night dip in the ocean? And now we have to wait till next week to find out?
You don't need to wait any more. Next part coming in 2 minutes.
Really curious to see how Lois gets out of this situation--and how she'll let Clark know how she feels. Or like Virginia questioned--if Clark will stumble across her doodles?
Looking forward to the next part

Yeah, the idea of Clark finding her doodles is really intriguing ...
Uh-oh! Lois has gotten herself into trouble. I can't wait for the next part to find out what happens.
It's here ... go read it.
Not what I thought! Clark found the pen mark and washed it off. No easy revelation for Lois.
Aargh - now she's fallen in the ocean. This can't be good.
So. People thought the pen mark would bring a revelation, but Clark washed it off. Then people thought Clark wouldn't wash it off but he did. Lets see how many more times I can catch you all out ...
Well, obviously this calls for a super rescue... Oh, Lois. I'm also surprised that the pen mark won't lead to a revelation... but perhaps we'll get a revelation from Loís -- if Clark reads her notebook, that is...
Another one for the reading of the notebook. I do like this idea ... And Emily ... you should know better. I know you only read the first draft and I sent the expanded version on to someone different ... Surely you know where this is going.
But, then again, you will be all confused because of the extra bits I put into part 2, I bet.
I loved this bit:
He stopped, unable to continue. He stared at the line. The mark. Lois' mark.
He opened his mouth in a silent cry then, after a moment, his forehead creased in a wistful frown. She'd marked him long ago. Branded her name on his heart, in his soul. And that brand was much deeper, more permanent, than this. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to wash it off. He closed his eyes and took a shuddering breath. "Lois," he whispered then breathed deeply again. Opening his eyes he pushed away his emotions and began to rub at the blue line.
I kinda think Clark would have wanted to keep Lois' mark on him a little longer.
Yeah, he's completely lost to Lois.
Hmm, Mozartmaid might have a good idea! How would Clark react if he read Lois' notebook with all those cute doodles?
Just a thought!
I'm sensing a need for people to see Clark finding Lois' notebook?
