Yay! Part 2 has dropped.
Two words that Clark uses a lot, both in this story and on the show. Part of what makes him so endearing -- That even someone as powerful as he still struggles with his limitations and regrets.
Fine - he could work up a little fight if it meant making up afterward.
:p
How was it that he could hold his breath for nearly an hour,
A minor correction -- somewhere on the show (I don't recall which episode) it was mentioned that he can hold his breath for 20 minutes. That's still a long time, but nowhere near an hour.
I am amazed that I caught that, since I really was drawn into that part of the narrative... You write PG-13 prose exceptionally well.
"No. I was, uh, I was watching baseball." His mind whispered that he had been rounding second and headed for third base.
See! Didn't I promise you action on a couch and some nookie?
And you fulfilled that promise quite well. Thanks!
And there's still more to come! What's that? You still want to know what happened to Lois?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
It's in the next part, I promise.
Thank you! And the next part will be posted...when, exactly? The sooner the better!
Joy,
