JadedEvie Thanks for your feedback!
I have KathyB to thank for the 'nice characterization' you mentioned. She thought my original Lois wasn't suspicious enough.
I enjoyed your insight about Martha and also describing Clark as 'charmingly steadfast'. He is!
MichaelSo, no super hero, naive work partner, and third-richest criminal in the world vying for your charms?

No (to the first bit) although the superspeed and the superstrength of the super hero would make farming a lot easier.
And yes to the second.

Corrina.
