Gahhh! I love that Lois knows how fragile Clark’s trust and hope is, and she treats him accordingly!

Quote
She noticed he was giving her the time to pull back if she wanted to. But that was the last thing on her mind. As their hands touched, she felt a spark of electricity between them, more magical than anything he could possibly do.

Ahhhhh the best lines!!! love

So now she knows ^_^
So glad he opened up to her and she was able to guide him.
Hopefully now she can help him solve the problem.
Can't wait for the next installment!

Just like on the show itself, things really get good once Lois is in on the secret and can be part of the act! I love that she's able to help Clark, and that Clark is willing to trust her to do so. This is such a delightful universe. Looking forward to next Friday's installment. smile

"It's witch, Clark." She winked as his expression turned puzzled."Females are called witches."

He burst out laughing. "Now, that can't be right."

Another banger of a chapter! I'm loving watching this story unfold. It's like watching an alternate version of the show, with new episodes every week and just as much squeeing! smile

Mary already quoted my favorite line. In fact, it makes me wonder if Lois is kidding or is herself confessing a deeply held secret. Wouldn't that be a twist?

Next Friday can't come soon enough.

Having her in on the secret certainly helps solving Clark's problem.

Indeed that would be an interesting twist. But not one I feel eager to follow up on.

Thanks so much for leaving feedback. I'm so glad you're enjoying this version of LnC. If we're sticking with the episodes analogy, we've made it to Season 2. party

Hi Barbara!

Oooh, welcome new beta?
Quote
Much to her relief Houdini instinctively knew what to do. As soon as Clark had linked arms with Lois, the dog took point.
Great way to fold the Eyes Have it episode in.

Quote
Lois wasn’t sure what was expected of her and for once in her life was too flustered to ask.

Quote
Once or twice his feet even left the ground, pulling her with him until Lois let out a startled yelp. Then he brought them back down, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Whoops!

Quote
His face was contorted with sheer concentration. “Houdini, are we there yet? I can’t contain this much longer.”
/Must resist juvenile jokes about *other* reasons for Clark to act this way/

Quote
He swallowed hard. “I’d understand if this is too much for you.”

With slight trepidation, Lois eyed Clark, who was hovering a good two feet above the ground,
It’s no worse than when she got tangled up in those Helium balloons her father brought home for her sixth birthday party. And they did catch up with her before she’d crossed any state lines.

Quote
“Fine.” She couldn’t help but grin. It was the adventure of her life. “As long as you won’t let go of me.”
Hey, that would be a good scare tactic with criminals!

Quote
. I don’t usually fly with my eyes closed.
He should get flight instruments and controls installed so the emergency pilot can take over.

Quote
. He whimpered and whined, his whole posture stiff like he was a huge stuffed animal.
Poor guy doesn’t like it when someone else flies the MagicKal.

Quote
She let out a breath. “How, if it’s not magic?”
Sufficiently advanced science is said to be indistinguishable from magic.

Quote
. I’m not a wizard, Lois. I’m an alien.”

Her breath caught. “You’re not from this world?”
Just like Kosh as Merlin during Babylon 5’s A Late Delivery from Avalon!

Quote
”Out of the two of us, you’re the true wizard.
/starts thinking about typical female denominators for female magic wielders. Hmmm fairy?

Quote
”It’s witch, Clark.” She winked as his expression turned puzzled.”Females are called witches.”
Yeah, according to popular television (/points at Buffy and Charmed/), there are good witches, too, not just the ones we know from Hänsel & Gretel.

Quote
He burst out laughing. “Now, that can’t be right.”
See?

As for titles for the next part: Fairly (sic) confident? / Witching hour?

Not quite fitting. Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will ignore the missing title until it's time to post next week. If I'm lucky one will magically appear. Wrong fandom, though. grin
