A wonderful story. Very nice revelation, and I loved the regretful glance that Clark shot her just before he had to reveal the truth to her.
And this...
It was strange, but Lois had never doubted that it was Clark under that mask. After years of coming through her window disguised only with a little misdirection and some gaudy spandex, she was able to see the real Clark through a much heavier disguise.
I wonder, if this story had taken place a year or even just 6 months earlier, whether Lois would have automatically have recognized him as Clark. And just call me
galactically stupid, but as I read it it didn't even dawn on me that of course Clark wouldn't have been wearing his glasses, even though I had a perfectly excellent mental picture of him in the whole Zorro outfit.
Very very nice. Thanks for posting it.
