Your story works better for me than the canon version does!
One question, though...Did you mean "Nigel" instead of "Niles"?
The next part will be coming out tonight, right? Right?
A flight to Smallville (both the flight and the destination) are just what the doctor ordered. Lois can get away from all the stressors for a little while, and maybe she and Clark can finally TALK!
Joy,
