She was going the wrong way.
Then how’s she supposed to just appear in her apartment and be there when Clark checks up on her the next time?
…And then her traitorous mind pictured Superman instead. For a few seconds Lois let go of the guilt that dating Clark and daydreaming about Superman usually caused her and wondered what might have happened…
Umm… I hope you don’t mind my asking, but… umm… this is set after Lois said goodbye to Superman and committed herself to Clark. So, if she keeps fantasizing about Superman like this, doesn’t this make her a bit flakey? Even if she feels guilty about it?
Superman leaned closer and she had a heart-stopping moment as she realized he was deliberately invading her personal space. He must have just laundered the cape or something, because he had the sunny-fresh scent of a familiar soap. She was still trying to place where she knew that smell from when he murmured, "Mmmm. Desire."
Wow, he’s open with her. Did he get exposed to red-K?
"C'mon, Lois. I know all about the phrase game." His fingers brushed through her hair, tucking a small section behind her left ear as he leaned down to whisper, "I have excellent sources." The heat of his breath tickled across her cheek like a kiss and then his hand moved from her hair to her shoulder.
Must be red-K. No clone would know this.
"Nuclear disarmament," she said glumly.
"Ouch." He made a face and gave her shoulder a soft squeeze before taking his hand away. "Tough break."
Lois shrugged, both relieved and disappointed that he had stopped touching her. "It's a stupid game, really."
He laughed - a quick short bark that seemed oddly familiar to her. "Translation: you've never won." His eyes twinkled in a tease and she had another moment of déjà vu. But when had Superman ever bantered with her before?
That really *is* a lot of Clark in there.
"Superman," Randy said the name like it was an oath. "Congratulations, Lane. You just won the jackpot. Superman said his top two priorities are children's issues and nuclear disarmament. If it was anyone else, I'd think that you cheated, but it's friggin' Superman."
PS: Just kiddin’. I don’t think I ever read Lois having this violent a reaction to finding out. At least, violence was always directed *at* Clark
