Seems like we're getting close to rescue time, but will it be in time?
The fact that it will be Clark rescuing Lois will be a good thing, it fits in well with what you established as her anchor.
I fear though that even after the rescue things aren't going to be 'happy ever after'. The trama that Lois underwent from her torture is not something she is going to be able to 'shake off' so easily. Even though she intellectually knows that Superman wasn't actually ever there, she will still probably have psychological repercussions when it comes to the Man of Steel. She might even manifest physical reactions to seeing Supes, or even Lucy and Perry. She is going to be one messed up gal. She's really going to need Clark to offer her much needed support, comfort, and a feeling of safety and protection.
Looking forward to the next parts.
