I reread that scene again, and I think you're right-- he cheated. Things did get a little far.

Doesn't make the scene less interesting though. A fallible Clark is indeed more interesting... I'm working with a very fallible Lois in my story right now, and though there are bumps, I think in the end you can create a more interesting story. I'm curious to see how SQD works this out.

And this Lois seems quite forgiving:

Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way. wink
