Umm...I loved this.
For a normal man, it would take approximately 2 hours for Lois' cry to travel from San Diego to Kansas (I'm assuming Smallville is somewhere in the center of Kansas). But we know that Clark has hearing far superior to a normal man given than he routinely hears things he shouldn't be able to.
It's just a story...a man can fly so why shouldn't he be able to hear Lois's cry immediately?
I don't think Clark is stupid and there is nothing wrong with your Lois. I assumed it to be essential to the plot.
The article is true, the only "lie" is that it came from Lois, but since he knew she wouldn't send it herself, I saw that as necessary.
I totally agree with this. The only part of the story that I think you should change is the frequency of your posts!
You asked...so I told you what I think.
