Yay, the next part!
I've lost track of exactly how much time has passed in this story. It's been several months that Lois/Lex and Clark/Rebecca have been going out, right?
Lois has nightmares about gleefully killing people on the ship... Ultra Woman has been going a bit vigilante on criminals... uh-oh.
I had totally forgotten about Lex's distrust of Superman until you reminded us last time, but now I see that that's been brewing for a while. I'm not sure if I ever noticed the personality traits he's exhibiting in this part, though. (I now have an excuse to go back and reread the whole story when it's done!) So he doesn't want to put in the effort when the relationship isn't going swimmingly, huh? He's not as bad as the series Lex, wanting to control everything Lois does and not let her have a life away from him... but he wants her to be his happy perfect Lois when she's with him. I can accept that as a reason for the breakup.
But Clark makes me mad. If he's been going out with Rebecca as long as I think he has, he really has been leading her on. I hope she doesn't take too long to recover and can find someone nice who's willing to take her on. (Unless, of course, she's the evil criminal mastermind.)
I suspect that Cat is now in league with Perry to try to figure out who's on the other end of the phone. She's certainly acting differently towards the person --- more angry, less lost. Please let me be right?
Looking forward to the next one!
