Clark lived in sin with Lana for 6 weeks?!
I kinda doubt that there was much sinning going on between them, given Lana's temperament and personality. You know, for someone with so little 'screen time,' Lana sure had an impact on this tale.
I liked the banter at the end, too, with Clark saying that he's going to ditch his single status and Lois saying that he should find the girl and - oh, you know what you wrote! And it was great! It left me chuckling aloud.
Two parts left, maybe an epilogue. I'm still wondering if Clark will go visit Tempus on the sly and do something really nasty to him, like fly him to the top of Mt. Ranier (14,000+ foot elevation) and leave him sitting in a snowbank with nothing but his pajamas and indignation.
Clark: No, Lois, I didn't hurt him in the slightest.
Lois: Good. As long as that's settled, kiss me.
Clark:
I still think that their shared love of justice will compel them to do something about Tempus. They won't be able to leave him there, ready to hurt others and steal to his heart's content. And if there should be any Superman-type stories coming out of central Africa, they won't have a choice. Tempus will know he swung and missed and will do something about it.
Wait. A brainstorm! Tempus comes to
them and brings Kryptonite. Just as he's monolouging and gloating, standing over a pained Clark, a terrified Lois, and a helpless Diddi, a spear flies through the air, penetrates his back, and punches out through his chest. Romaric then throws the green rock into the river where Lois tossed the other fragments. Clark and Lois finish the wedding and the tribe has Tempus as the main course for the marriage feast. Great ending, huh?
Never mind. You'll probably do something tons better. I can hardly wait to read it!
