The DP staff meeting was hilarious!
I loved how it ended with a group hug.
I liked how you embellished the scene between Miranda and Lex, especially this paragraph:
Immediately his mind flew back to his last encounter with this woman. His very callus statement - "Us? You were an itch. You've been scratched." His eyes widened even farther as his fear increased. The thought of the old quote, ‘Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned' crossed his mind and he was afraid that he was facing the embodiment of that proverb. He knew that most animals reacted aggressively when they sensed fear in their prey, so he tried to hide his abject terror. In a voice that waivered only slightly, he said, "Miranda. What a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you?"
I never picture Lex as being scared, and I like that Miranda was able to give him pause. Other than creating a fun plot device "Revenge", Miranda is a favorite villain with us fans because of the power she exerts over Lex.
You're making us wait until the next part to see what Lois will say to Lex about her marriage to Clark when he shows up at the DP, or whether Clark will intervene when Lex reminds Lois of their "date". That should be fun.
