With three very long other fics in the works, the last thing I wanted to do was to get wrapped up in Undercover. But then Andreia said the magic word, ‘Epilogue,’ and I thought that sounded like something I could handle.
Yay!

I'm so happy that I could find the right word to coax you to continue this story!!
These days, he found the rescues somehow both challenging and repetitive. It hadn’t always been like this. Rescues had once been a highlight of a regular life, when he was fully integrated with society and the people he was rescuing. But that was back when he had a regular life.
Living full time as Superman would eventually take its toll on him.

He had a date tonight, and he didn’t want any stray melancholy to linger, to even subtly mar the comforting embrace of a date with Lois. After all, he and Lois had enough trouble finding quality time together as it was.
At least they are together - sort of. I'm glad he wasn't so stubborn as to push Lois away "for her own good".
Because even though he and Lois were often together, and their relationship had definitely surged forward, it felt like they were somehow in limbo.
Just like the rest of his personal life.
That's depressing.

Any hope for that future together, too, was just another example of something he’d had to let go of in this new world where only Superman existed.
Instead, he and Lois focused on the ‘here’ and the ‘now.’
For now, I think that's all they can do.
Sometimes, in the very back of his brain, just for a moment, he even wished that they could leave behind the rest of the world – including the mess he’d made of their lives. They could live far beyond the reach of the masses he hid his identity from, far from everyone who’d known Clark, who wanted to hurt Lois, who inimically sought Superman.
And she would be safe.
And they could have a life – together.
But, he reminded himself, that wasn’t what Superman did.
Lois wouldn't want to run and hide, too. It's not what she does.
I'm so looking forward to know how they are going to bring Clark back after all this time. If someone can do that, it's the hottest team in town.
Thank you for coming back with this story.
