Very good story. I loved this:

Quote
I cringe as I hear myself talk in platitudes. Lois deserves so much more than this, she deserves a real explanation. But I'm beginning to fear that I don't have one. It's just become a habit to hide my powers. Pretending to be normal is so convenient, so much easier than facing the problems of being different.
How true! And how easy it is to become stuck in a habit and do something for no good reason, just because you've always done like this.

Good to see you back here!
