Daniel had been expecting Lois to answer the door.
Instead, there was a man - a man who was younger, taller, and more toned than Scardino. A man who looked as if he, too, had been expecting someone else.
"Ah, hi," Daniel said, offering his hand to shake. "I'm Daniel Scardino."
The man took his hand in a firm grip and nodded. "Mr Scardino," he said. "I'm Clark Kent."
Daniel's jaw plunged. *This* was the alien? The prisoner? Former prisoner? He looked ... looked ... human. "Ah, Mr ... ah, Kent," Daniel stammered, realising that he shouldn't be surprised that the alien had answered his knock. But he had not been expecting *this*. "Mr ... ah ... Kent. Ah ... Lois. Lois Lane. Is she here?"
Thanks!
