Perry gently shook his head.
“No, I can’t let you think that way. Lois is a strong, independent woman who puts herself in danger all the time, all on her own. It’s not Superman who pushes her into it. You know as well as I do that what you two have, that love, it’s because of who you are, not because of your powers. Destiny brought you together, Clark. It likes to test you, sure… but it makes you stronger.”
“I just wish destiny would give us a break once in a while,” Clark said, bitterly, his gaze lost in the void.
“You should try to get some rest. You’re exhausted. You can’t work miracles without sleep, and she needs you at full strength to find her.”
Oh man, how I love this exchange between Clark and Perry! The series would have been so much better if Perry knew what was going on the Clark's 'other job'. The managing editor of the
Daily Planet really knew how to keep the bullpen under control as well as how to soothe ruffled feathers. No way could Clark keep Lois from going after a story! That is why she had the moniker,
Mad Dog Lane.
Clark glanced at his watch.
“It’s 8:15 PM, so they have over five hours on us… She could be anywhere.”
“Clark, I don’t think so. She must’ve been taken for a specific reason, and it’s likely her captors need to stay close to Metropolis. I’d bet she’s no more than 120 miles from here.”
“All right, I’ll start searching from there,” Clark said before realizing Jimmy was still present. “I mean, I’ll ask Superman to focus his search in that area.”
Ouch!
Clark your determination to find our wife might just land you in trouble. Jimmy is going to wonder why a guy who wears glasses
takes them off to study a photograph.
