Just wanted to thank you again for posting when you did. I'd just finished putting together a kitchen set
so you're timing couldn't have been better!
And what an update it was. I really liked the tone between Lois and Clark. Yeah they may not be admitting their feelings to one another, but in their heads things are progressing nicely. I'll just have to survive until we get to the conversation you alluded to in your fdk-fdk.
So it is a Kryptonite implant (thanks for my virtual cookies, they were delicious
). I maintain that Clark just needs to think 3-dimensionally in order to escape. That might be slightly less obvious than Lois's bulldozer solution, hee!
But she knew. And was horrified. "Clark! You weren't thinking that I would bring one of the rods into the cell, were you?"
That was exactly what he had been thinking. It was as clear as a neon sign on his face. "Sorry," he mumbled.
Now they're even from when Lois was briefly afraid when she was thrust in his cell. The coveralls/painter plan is a much better plan.
Lois reached across the short distance between them and laid her hand on his for a tiny moment. "The rods are never coming back," she promised. "Not if I can help it."
Oh how I hope this is true, especially in light of what is discussed later in the update.
Love that Clark was on the ball and "cleaned up" the cell. Enjoyed Lois's subterfuge with Scardino.
Menzies.
The name alone was enough to dump icy trepidation onto her heart. "I thought he was on leave."
Not good at all.
He heard the click of the lock and jumped to his feet as his heart did a little dance inside him.
Awh.
That thought strengthened him. He could take another dose of the poison if he knew that Lois -
His thoughts stopped and clattered around his mind.
If he knew that Lois cared about him.
"I'm not leaving you," she vowed.
Simply lovely.
"I made a deal with Scardino. His part is to leave me on this operation."
Sorry to be dim, but is Lois referring to her veiled threat of exposing the operation as the "deal" or is it something else that I missed?
That would be his gift to her.
Funny, she's thinking the same about him. Oh these crazy non-communicating kids. Can't wait for them to find out they want the same thing!
As always can't wait for more - especially given the promise of banter in the preview.
