So sorry to see this wonderful series come to an end. Really did a deep dive into this story. Still cannot believe that Lois lay in the sidewalk as a smelly bum doing a serious stakeout. That's what I call moxie! Anyhow, these are my thoughts.
Perry White walked into the darkened offices of the Daily Planet, silhouetted in the early morning light of dawn. Stepping onto the ramp, he inhaled deeply. He loved the smell of India ink in the morning. Like an old, loyal confidant, it had greeted him every day for the last forty years.
Great way to start the story with Perry coming into the office at Zero-dark-thirty to the smell of India ink.
“Great shades of Elvis,” he gasped, one hand over his heart. “You… you… you’re supposed to be dead!”
The not-dead-man darted a glance to the woman sitting beside him.
“Well, see, Chief, not exactly,” she said, standing.
What a jolt! Better than a double shot expresso.
But over the last couple of months, Lois had an edge back to her writing and a lilt back in her step, and he’d known something had changed for his protegés. He’d started to watch her every time she headed out to wage her crusade against the defunct but Hydra-like Luthor Corp, looking for any clue to gauge whether his second-favorite reporter might come home to his desk in the bullpen any time soon. So while it surprised him to see his most precocious investigative team in his office this morning, it wasn’t entirely unexpected.
After all, he wasn’t the editor of the Daily Planet because he could yodel.
Hydra? Aren't those bad guys from another universe? Morgana goes looking for Steve Rogers...
Perry knows. So why does he keep it a big secret?
Perry held up a hand. “Hold on, now. Just let me get this straight. You got a tip on gun smugglers from the Congo. So you ran the investigation from this end, and Clark’s been running his side of the investigation in Africa for nearly a year?”
He thought Clark looked worried. Naturally, with full bravado, Lois confirmed, “Yep!”
He ran a hand over his mouth to conceal a grin.
That was a doozy.
I love it when a plan comes together!
The hottest team in town was back together and ready for action. Perry was about to publish a story that looked as hard-hitting as any he’d seen before. And from the pear-cut ring that sparkled on Lois’ left hand, his favorite reporting team was about to make things even more interesting in his bullpen.
Hey, where did the ring come from? LOL! Thank you for a satisfying wrap up to a fabulous story. TOGOM is a pivotal part in the LnC series and this fic is one of the best treatments of that episode.
