He really wished it could be Clark, but the longer he thought about it, the more he realized it needed to be Superman. As Jason’s powers developed further, he was going to need Superman to help him figure things out and help him learn how to control them.
No! Superman can't be a dad.
He isn't real!!! Besides, I have the strong impression that Jason already knows Clark is Superman, so really it doesn't have to be one or the other.
As he watched Jason playing and laughing, enjoying himself, he realized something – something he had known all along but was even more sure of now – whatever happened with him and Lois, whatever he lost or gained... it had all been worth it.
awww!!!
It was a good thing Clark was normally a very calm and patient man because, right now, he wanted nothing more than to go snatch that child up and spank his bottom right in front of the other kids.
Can you imagine if Superman did that? The media would have a field day.
“Even grown ups,” Clark continued. Especially grown ups.
Yep.
As he watched his son walk away, he whispered softly, “My friend, my son.”
sniffle
“I think he wants to move me there because of you.”
He didn’t even bat an eyelash. “Lois, I would still come for you and Jason even if you moved... to Antarctica. I would still be there for you. You know that, don’t you?”
Of course he would. I would be suprised if Richard doesn't suspect it as well, deep down.
She could feel the moisture forming in her eyes even as she fought against it and she could feel her face involuntarily tightening as her eyebrows knitted together and her nose contracted. She could feel the quiver in her chin as the last of her control melted away.
great descriptive words
“I’ve gotta go,” he said suddenly, interrupting her.
To the bathroom? (sorry, sorry
)
THIS WILL BE TOMORROW’S HEADLINE UNLESS YOU BRING SUPERMAN TO ME BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT:
FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOY’S DEAD BODY FOUND ON STEPS OF POLICE HEADQUARTERS – POLICE BAFFLED.
HAPPY READING.

chills in my stomach
He wondered - if Richard had it all to do over would he have still tried so hard to save Superman?
Probably. Richard is a good man.
“Oh, we already have the upper hand, Lois,” Richard said as he turned to walk back inside the building. When he came walking back out, Clark felt a sickening weakness go flooding through him. His legs faltered and he dropped down to his knees in front of Richard.
WHAT!!!??? Ok, I completely take back what I said above about Richard being a good man. I am in shock. This was the last thing I expected. I know Richard is angry and jealous, but I didn't think he would harm Superman.
Great chapter, DJ.
