Wow. Should've gotten that pay-per-view license after all.
Io, the queen was just being fair. After all, we wouldn't want Lois to have any illicit advantages.
G. Kuhn, glad you like it. And I'm glad you "de-lurked" for this one.
Laurach, I knew that the comics version of Wonder Woman would be difficult to overcome. Thanks for the kind words. Always to nice to give the positive kinds of surprises.
Thank you, Annalina19. I think both of them are just about done with the anatomy-kicking.
Not only did Lois have one arm dangling, EvelynC, but so did Diana. And each of them had a damaged leg or ankle and numerous facial bruises. And Clark's expression as he realized who Wonder Woman was fighting? Priceless.
As another poster mentioned in an earlier thread, Diana's grasp of political strategy is a bit on the slippery side. And I think Superman would go from shocked to ticked off very quickly.
Glad you could find time to post feedback, BJ. I know what a bear real life can be. And thanks for the kind words about Clark. I sometimes have trouble getting into his head, but this time I think I found an open door.
Jen P, I don't know where that bad feeling might come from. Surely not from the story! I'm such a pussycat with these two.
Tank, you nailed one of my problems when developing this story. The comics show Wonder Woman sparring with Superman and holding her own against him, but they also show her sparring with Batman and being pushed near her limits by him. That means that either Batman is almost super-strong or Superman isn't all that super. I chose to make Wonder Woman very strong but decidedly weaker than Superman. (Remember the railroad car that Superman could lift but Diana couldn't?) And sorry about not showing the haircut. I thought about it, but decided that it didn't propel the narrative forward. But you can write it if you're of a mind to do so. And the legal angle will be explored before we depart from Paradise Island.
Thanks for the kudos, Michael. I try to make my "reader incentives" compelling.
Glad you liked Batman, Daja Vu. And Lois knows that an angry opponent often a careless opponent.
Next chapter up very soon!
