Whoa.
That makes a whole lot of sense. I totally forgot about Lucy.... Dang. I wonder if they'll figure out how Luthor set that up exactly.
And poor Clark. I hope they can really talk soon.
Looking forward to more.
I found it odd, as Lucy and Lois were portrayed as being close, that Lucy wasn't at the wedding. I'm sure Lex would have splurged for a ticket if Lucy couldn't afford one.
It's a good thing that Lois and Clark at least talk to each other again. I like that you address the psychological effect of Clark's entrapment. I don't think I have ever read a fic that focused on that particular aspect.
Well done
I'm also finding the psychological effects of the cage on Clark intriguing. In the show, the "super" aspects of his personality often seemed to trump the real possibility that since he was raised as a human, that his psyche likely would be affected similarly to a human's. It will be interesting to see where you take this, and how soon Lois and Clark can talk, really talk, to each other.
It's something that comes up a lot in fics, I find, where Clark has a rough rescue, and Lois is there to help him out. I don't remember the episode where Lois defends Superman to Clark, saying he does the best he can, but it shows that Clark struggles with the outcomes. It would make sense that when something bad happens, like being locked in a poisonous cage by a psychopath, feeling your life drain away, knowing you're going to be killed horribly and slowly, would have some psychological affect on him... Again, not something they were going to focus on in the show as it was a much 'lighter' themed romance than dark thriller.
