Oooohh, Shayne! You posted yet *again*.
You've made my weekend!
“When Lana found out what I was, what I could do, it changed things between us.”
“She didn’t like it?”
Lisa had thought long and hard about telling someone, anyone. She’d known better than to tell Janice, because after Janice’s experiences with her brother, she’d have been sure to tell.
Anybody else would look at her like a freak, and that was the last thing Lisa wanted.
“Not at first. I think it bothered her a lot, until I started getting rich.”
Lisa nodded. She’d seen and heard enough of what went on between adults to know a little about how that went.
“She liked having nice things.”
“She liked being looked up to,” Clark said. “People admiring her because of her car or house or position as a trophy wife…I think she grew up that way and didn’t know any better.”
Lisa stared at him dubiously.
“Her father was the town banker, and the whole family always wanted people to treat them like they were something special.”
“That’s why you aren’t worried about her telling about you.” Lisa said.
Her father nodded. “She has as much to lose as I do. If people knew she’d been slee…married to something that wasn’t human, they might look down on her, and she won’t tolerate that.”
You're gonna have to elaborate more about what Lana did to Clark...as if leaving him for Luthor and taking half of his net worth wasn't enough. If she were married to a handsome loving rich man, why leave, except for the fact that they couldn't conceive. But certainly Clark is better off. I just hate that he has *been with* Lana.
“What happened to him?” Lois asked. “With Lana?”
Joshua looked quickly down at his desk and said, “It’s not my place to say.”
Clark needs to talk to Lois and explain things--tell her who he is or I get the feeling that Lana is going to let it *slip*. I hate that Clark isn't telling Lois about himself. She is the one person that he can trust. Her...their daughter's life is at stake.
“Mom!” Lisa said. She ran up the hill and hugged her mother. “I can make holes in things without burning them!”
“I can do that too,” Lois said, making a punching motion with her finger at her daughter.
Lois and Lisa have a wonderful relationship. This is such a cute exchange. Lois is going to be really hurt when she finds out that Lisa knew about Clark and didn't tell her.
“How long will that be?” Lois asked.
It was nice being here, but she didn’t want Lisa to have to grow up in an isolated life with tutors and nannies. Lisa had friends back at home and a life.
Just don't expect to return to Metropolis after the summer is over. Clark, I'm betting will not hear of it.
I'd like to see more of Lois and Clark developing a relationship and elaborate on what they are feeling toward each other.
Well done Shayne and thank you for posting again. Sorry my feedback has been so scarce but school has been a bear!
