Clark hugged her tighter. "No way, Lois. I'm not about to let go of the best thing that's ever happened to me."
ok, I pull back what I said in my previous comment and happily say "Clark, obviously you are not stupid!"
Clark licked his lips, then took another deep breath. Finally he forced himself to go ahead and say the words. "I've decided to stop being Superman."
Clark, you are stupid.
So, it's not "Lois I love you so I have to leave for your own sefety", but "Lois I love you so I have to stop being Superman for your own safety?!!!" New troy-size guilt complex here!
"And what about me?" he demanded uncharacteristically
this is a good thing: finally he's thinking about himself too, and what he want; he thinks that he cannot give up his love for Lois, so he gives up his Superman persona, who (which?) is making his (Clark's) life a living hell... this is a good beginning ("what I want for myself") but the wrong direction! (loved that "uncharacteristically", by the way!)
But what scares me even more is the fact that it makes me feel helpless--helpless to stop the ones I love from getting hurt in the crossfire."
Do you think a day has gone by since then that I don't feel plagued with guilt, knowing I should have prevented this?
It kills me to know I've put you in danger, Lois! And I won't do it. Not any more."
so it's again "Lois I love you so I have to..."? I feel dizzy. I think Clark too, poor thing.
Do you think a day has gone by since then that I don't feel plagued with guilt, knowing I should have prevented this? That I don't blame myself?
this is a joke, isn't it? is there someone here who doesn't know?
LOis is right,he's plain clear scared, but luckily she had had a chance to think ans she'll be able to help him to understand their situation!
Clark sighed deeply, then shook his head. "I understand what you're trying to say, Lois." He turned to include his parents in his statement. "What all of you are trying to say. But my mind is made up. None of this is what I wanted to have happen. It's just gotten too dangerous."
ok, Clark doesn't understand. But give him time and someone in trouble, and you'll see!
"You're right, Lois. You're absolutely right."
and no need poor fellows in trouble! Great Lois!
Lois laughed again and let him lead her to the porch swing. He picked up the large afghan, wrapped it around himself, then sat down with one leg stretched out lengthwise on the long swing. Then he held the afghan open for Lois invitingly. She didn't hesitate as she moved onto his lap.
She sighed contentedly as he wrapped the blanket--and his arms--around her and pulled her back against his chest. "This is nice," she breathed, enjoying the comforting rocking motion of the swing as Clark moved it back and forth with the toe of his foot hanging off the swing and resting on the porch.
He tightened his arms even further around her and nestled his face against the side of hers. "It is," he agreed in a whisper, his breath on her ear causing Lois to tingle all over
AWWWW, sooooo sweet!
"Then go to Metropolis to be with him," Agnes told her wisely. "But make sure he flies you out here to visit me from time to time."
