Oooohhh!!! Adorable! I just
love seeing Clark Kent, sweetest and politest bully in the world, "accidentally" pushing over and then dropping "slippery" snake Claude, after Claude had made unacceptable comments about Clark's not even kinda-sorta but maybe-in-the-future girlfriend! And those nice, sweet, polite threats he whispered in Claude's ear!!!
And I just
loved Lois's reaction:
Lois just stared at her hack from Nowheresville for a moment. “You really are a strange one, Kent.” There was no venom in her voice, no condescending tone, just mild awe. Her inner nineties woman wanted to thwart him, telling him that she could very well take care of herself, thank-you-very-much.
Where's the inner nineties woman gremlin?
But another part thought he looked so adorable, looking guilty at what he’d done instead of smug, and the guy had actually defended her when she hadn’t been the nicest person in the world.
Aaawww....
