Loved the story.
Although I 'm just a little perplexed about something Lois said:
It's okay that you didn't make it there in time. It would be impossible for you to be everywhere, save everyone.
I'm all for the fact that Superman can't be everywhere all the time and that whatever he can do at best is enough. I said perplexing since I think Lois could've better worded the
first sentence instead of it coming out as if someone else's death, or Lana's in this case, is really of no significance or holds no importance. She WAS Clark's girlfriend. I would have maybe suggested she told Clark somewhere along the lines of " You shouldn't blame yourself..." or " You must understand that you're only one man..."
What you did that day was enough. You saved the lives of all those people, and you saved my life. I've always believed that we all have a chance to make a difference. Never have I believed in that more than I do right now.
Again, would've preferred if it was said in the collective.
But hey, I'm just a reader not a writer.
I'm not at all a Lana fan- never have been.
And I agree that Lana and Clark weren't meant to be - no dispute on that.
So her character being written off is no big deal. All the more reason for Lois and Clark to have a happily ever after. I was just pointing out how Lois came off to me with her choice of words in this particular scene.
