For some reason, being near this man tied her tongue and brain into knots.
“Would you stay up on the space station?” With me? she added silently.

“But I’m needed back at the Planet… on the planet, planet Earth,” Superman said, as if she would confuse her planet with any other.
Professional behavior, Lane, or you’ll never get the interview. Lois cleared her throat.
Duh. Lois has learned in the past, that if she dresses like a professional, she gets the scoop or interview in question.
She just knew it, just as she had known he should be called Superman, just as she knew Clark was Chuck, and Jimmy would die.

Too bad; it would’ve been nice to know when she was walking into danger.

Of course, then she might grow to rely on this feeling and stop thinking for herself, using her innate reporter’s instinct.

“Oh, no, I’m fine. I was able to get some sunlight out in space, and recharge my batteries.”
Ooooh! He’s a Toyota Prius.
Ooops, perhaps he shouldn’t have phrased it quite like that.
How about ‘anatomically correct man’?
Still, the action was more than acceptable when she did it.
Yep, he’ll take that groupie anywhere she wants. Kitchen. Shower. Bedroom. Closet. Rooftop.
“My place,” Lois replied without hesitation.
