Very nice, BP. (I hope you don't mind the nickname even though we don't know each other well.)
I really liked this. I think it is a very good peek into Mayson's mind and how it works. You also explained very well why she distrusts Superman - it's not him, it's his lack of legal authority, a subject the comics ignored back in 1938. Her arguments were logical and reasonable, and Clark - er, Superman - listened to her and thought about what she said. He also gave her some points to chew on later. If this had happened in the show, she might have gotten along better with Lois.
Or not. She ended the vignette still inclined to romance with Clark, although here she was thinking that maybe it was a one-way relationship. And we all know how frustrating that can be for a lawyer.
I do have one question, though. I don't understand this sentence.
It had been a long and tiring day for her and she was served.
I can't figure out what that means. Usually when someone is "served," at least in a legal context, that someone has received a summons or a subpoena to appear before a judge or a grand jury. But it's probably my lack. It's obvious she wasn't at a restaurant.
As I said, I really like this short tale. I hope you gift us with more snippets of your take on Lois and Clark.
