YAY! I am so glad to see you posted! This story is great!
"I didn't realize you were taking me to dinner tonight." I don't hide the irritation in my voice. After all, he did abandon me halfway through dinner last night. Sure, he was paged by a source and had to leave.
I like this, that she’s making him work for her attention. I always appreciated that when Lois started having real issues with Clark’s disappearing act toward the end of Season 2, she really was a biznatch to him at work.
For a dizzying couple of seconds I think he's finally realized that he's desperately in love with me. He pulls me firmly against him and turns us swiftly.
Ha! Could you imagine her shock if he
had kissed her?
I want to say something, but there's a roaring sound in my ears and the world feels pink and fuzzy around the edges.
PINK!
Only I can't seem to stand up and I'm horrified to realize that I'm about to faint. While he certainly has an effect on me, Superman's never actually made me *faint* before.
I love that she rationalizes that he hasn’t
actually made her faint before. Swoon? Yes. Shake? Yes. But faint. No. Definitely not. I love that she uses it as a justification of sorts, that she's still being completely rational. Riiigghhtt.
As we walk to the elevator, I can scarcely wait to be alone with him. There are so many questions to ask him, not to mention that it's amazing to know that we're equals now. As soon as the doors slide shut I turn to him and ask, "Why did you do it?"
If I were her, I’d have mauled him right there in the elevator. I mean with the super powers, she'd definitely have an advantage.
"People will start calling me 'super-journalist'."
I think people should start calling me that, too! I love this line! It’s SO Lois!
“No.” He breaks into a laugh. “Flying is not a state of mind.”
I love this. That he can’t help laughing despite the situation. And it sounds very Clark, even though he's Superman at this moment.
I open my eyes and realize that I'm now a few inches taller than he is. I glance down and feel myself start to dip. No! I hurriedly push out another breath and it works - I rise higher into the room. The higher I go, the more giddy I am.
"See, you're a natural." He sounds delighted.
That’s adorable. He’s upset about losing his powers, but at the same time, he’s happy that Lois is good at flying. It shows just how much he loves -- and respects -- her.
"Come on, I promise I won't drop you. This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me, and I want someone to share it with. Fly with me, Clark. Please?"
He reaches out and takes my hand. "All right."
:::shiver::: I love that she went there and asked him to go flying with her. I mean she very well could have asked Superman to go, but she wants Clark.
I can’t wait for Part 2!
