John: Thanks the continued in-depth FDK, I appreciate it.

Mostly, thank you for letting me know I still have readers despite my story's length and characters tendencies towards Lunkheadness. My muse survives on FDK. You are single handedly keeping her alive.
LOIS: <shields eyes> Oh, no, stop this agony.
I knew this was a stupid idea. This undercover plan is crazy.
LOIS: But it's my plan and I'm sticking with it!
Somehow I don't see her convincing Luthor of that when he thinks he knows they have slept together on multiple occasions.
LEX: I'm just friends with all the women I've slept with... well, the ones I let live.
It is technically true. So,she did go there to be close to Clark, but she did not show up with him.
See! Good plan.
Lois:Well, I did get dressed up in part for Clark, but I am never admitting that to this creep.
CLARK: Lois would look beautiful in a corn sack.
LOIS: Are you sure you aren't a farm boy?
CLARK: I've always said I grew up on a farm.
LOIS: Come on. Really?
CLARK: Really.
LOIS: Hmmmm. <<to self>> So, he grew up on a farm on Krypton. It's possible.
I like her calling Luthor a sexist pig. I do not think it really made sense for a strong willed woman like Lois to be attracted to a man like Luthor who so obviously thought of her as an object and a conquest and not a person.
And yet Lex attracted many strong willed women on the show: Dr. Baines, Toni Taylor, Lois Lane... (that we know about)... it's the challenge in trying to change him. (Except for Lois... You'll have to read my
Univited Visitor for my latest theory on why canon Lois dated Lex.)
I wish she would just give up on this really, really diffcult and bizarre plan.
LOIS: I like difficult.
I think she made more progess on that line than she intended.
Lois:I had no intent of telling Clark I had moved on.
Reader:I think he got that message though.
LOIS:

I told him I was *undercover* as just his partner. It's not my fault he hasn't figured out the truth.
CAT: Well...
CLARK: No, it's Lois's fault.
BRUCE: I could have told you what Lois was up to, but we're not friends in this story.
CLARK:

No reason. No reason at all.
Luthor does come off as very arrogant here.
As opposed to... when he calls Jimmy 'whoever' in HiM?
Why does she put up with this?
LOIS: <mumbling> Pulitzer. Meriwether. Kerth. Pulitzer. Meriwether. Kerth.
<<happy>> she does not like Luthor at all. Too bad Clark does not see this.
CLARK: <glances up from his drink> I'm sorry, what? I wasn't paying attention? Lois? No, I'm sorry, she left.
She shouldn't lie to Lex?
I so hope he spills the beans to LNN.
LOIS: John, I thought you were on my side.
But he has already tried to kill her partner because of chance conversations, she will not believe him.
She doesn't believe him.
Clark:And whose fault is that.
Lois:This is undercover work. I have to lie to Luthor.
Right. She WANTS Lex to get the wrong impression of her and Clark.
How is her accepting his rides, champaign and touches not dating?
Motivation. Plus, they aren't kissing.
no, oh no, of no, he is going to misread that.
She *wants* him to misread that. How else is she going to catch him doing something he shouldn't?
CLARK: Like killing her?
LOIS: Yes, like... No, Clark. Lex won't kill me. He loves me.
CLARK: :rolleyes:
I don't like it when they fight.
I must admit my muse doesn't like it either.
I think he is being serious. I wish she had stuck around, Maybe her and Clark could have even danced.
CLARK: If Lois had stuck around, we would have left early and danced in another way.
this is so sad. He is not trusting Lois.
He's trying to make her jealous.
How is Clark supposed to know that.
LOIS: <<jumps up and down>> He's supposed to be trusting me!
CLARK: Like you're trusting me that I didn't really meet a nice woman?
LOIS: That's different.
CLARK: How?
LOIS: You're... you're...
CLARK: I'm...??
LOIS: You!
CLARK: Who else would I be?
LOIS:
She needs to start telling Clark more and leaving less to his reading her expressions.
LOIS: I wish he were telepathic.
CLARK: No dice.
HERB: Actually...
CLARK: What?!
LOIS: Who is that guy?
CLARK: Nobody.
