Pete thought he should stick to due North and start dropping hints about an Arctic refuge, but Clark thought that was going a bit far.
Tee-hee! Shades of comic book canon!
Pete said, “Lana and I were just discussing the tail that I had to shake the night of your Lois Lane interview."
Why do I feel so worried about this?
“You really think Superman is the world’s biggest celebrity?” Clark asked.
Pete rolled his eyes in frustration. His voice dripped with sarcasm. “Yes, Clark, I’m sorry to tell you that you are now bigger than you. Can we please focus here?”
Other people have already pointed this out, but I just couldn't resist repeating such a great line. Hilarious!
“Well, yeah. She likes Superman. It’s Clark she can’t stand.”
“But Superman isn’t real,” Lana protested.
“No, he’s not,” Clark agreed. “But then again, neither is Clark. And the man that Lois really likes is neither of them.” Clark flashed his friends a satisfied smile. “He’s just me.”
Again, other feedback posters have pointed this out, but you've got a really interesting new take on the usual Clark/Superman story.
It was probably Jimmy. Who else would show up at her apartment unannounced at the most inconvenient time possible?
Let's send Tank after Jimmy. He'll never be interruptingly annoying again.
And, the cliffhanger ending! Has she figured it out? (I'm assuming so.) If not, Clark's look of panicked truthfulness will give him away regardless.
Please tell me that you'll be posting more soon!
