I'm usually a very lazy reviewer (note pathetic post count below), but I thought I'd pass on that I just adored this paragraph:
“Uh… Hi.” His words were a balm to her confusion-chafed heart. So typical of Clark to be awkward and unsure. THIS was the man she knew and worked with. THIS was the man who brought her coffee every day with one and a half artificial sweeteners and a smidgen of skim milk. Her brain frowned. This was also the man who lied to her constantly. This was also the man ran out on her regularly without proper explanation. This was also the man who didn’t trust her enough to tell her the truth. This was the man who… Her brain paused. This was also the man who was standing dumbly in front of all his colleagues making a moron of himself after being outed on national television. Well, what were partners for anyway? If she could just get him alone in the conference room then she could give him the proper tongue lashing he deserved.
It's so Lois! It's so Clark! And yet, it seems to have a unique flavor compared to any other revelation scenes I have read, at least that I can recall. I love that Lois is able to instantly recognize that for all that Clark has been cast in a very new light, he is still just Clark. And for all the fury she is rightfully feeling, she's still got his back. What are partners for indeed, if not to keep you from making a moron of yourself after being outed as a revered superhero on national television?
Only Lois...
I'm glad Clark decided to include Jimmy in his personal conference, and I look forward to seeing how he (Clark) and Lois will adjust to this new circumstance. I hope they are successful at remaining the "hottest team in town."
Post more soon, please!
