I finally was able to read the first story and then catch up on the beginning of this one! Nan, this is so great and creative!
I
really loved this part:
She'd thought that she had learned a lot about her husband's problems two years before when she had been Ultra Woman for two days. That had been deceptive, she knew now. In the three months since the lightning bolt had struck Clark, she had learned a great deal more about the way Superman handled the ordinary things in his life than she'd had the opportunity to discover back then. It had only increased her respect for him.
... because those are the things that in the series I always loved and respected about him, but everyone kind of overlooks the "normal" aspects of his life in regards to his abilities. Even when Lois finds out his secret, they focused on the major feats mostly. And when she was Ultrawoman, she understood the saddest part of being him - the things he can't do. Okay, I'm rambling... basically I love this excerpt because she's realizing how much control he is constantly exercising
all the time, and how he's done it for so long that he doesn't need to even think about it anymore. I love that she is thinking about it and finding this new layer of respect for him.
But just to be certain, she locked her bedroom door before climbing into bed.
Okay, why do I feel like Norma's locking herself in, instead of someone else out? Like, say, the Midnight Rapist??
Great stuff, more soon
