Cat approached, having caught the end of their conversation. “Oh, I get it. You and Superman joined the old “Mile High Club” up there on the space station. What was it like doing it at zero gravity?” Could Clark get any redder?
“Excuse me?”
“Oh, don’t worry, Lois. Your secret is safe with me. No one would believe it anyway- Ice Maiden.” Now Lois was red. “What?” Lois fumed at Clark when he looked at her. She spun away. She had work to do
HAHA!
“I’d better phone it in.” Clark began to flip open his cell phone.
“No!” Lois laid her hands on his stopping his actions. Clark couldn’t report on his own activities! Someone was bound to realize Clark Kent wasn’t actually there and put two and two together. “Clark, if you phone it in, they’ll just re-write you. Best thing to do is get to the Planet as fast as possible and start typing. Hey, take my cab. Go on.”
“Lois, I appreciate it. I owe you one.” Yes he did, and he didn’t even know it. The second Clark was out of sight, Lois pulled her cell phone from her purse, speed dialed the Planet, and quickly filled Doris in on the story. She was saving Clark. So why did she feel so guilty? She tossed and turned all night.
I love the twist!
This story is really zooming along.
I love how you include exact peices from the show, but twist them into something different - Lois' angle to protect Clark, not to get Superman first only for her personal and reporter reasons.
