Very intriguing. I like how Lois and Clark ... well, Superman ... are getting to know each other here. In this universe, it's Clark who is used to keeping people at arm's length, but Lois is breaking through his protective walls. Not as Clark (yet, I sincerely hope)), but as Superman this time.
It's also an interesting twist that Clark would first believe that Lois is seeing the "real man" while he's portraying Superman. In the show, Clark sees Superman as a completely different identity because "Clark Kent" is simply who he usually is. But in this universe, Clark already sees "Clark Kent" as his alter-ego. So for him, perhaps Superman is a way to finally be himself, or at least someone closer to his real self than the millionaire playboy author is. Fascinating.
I can't wait to see where you're taking them next. I'm really enjoying this story.
