I love the transition here. First you show us how Lois is suffering and her disappointment at the brevity of Clark's message and how it's a poor replacement for a real relationship. Grandma El is perfect. It's so great he's not alone up there, that he's got an ally who cares.

And I love that even though she's disappointed in the message she gathers new hope through it.

Hi Bakasi! Thanks for commenting.

Clark has more than one ally on New Krypton. This is only the beginning. I am glad you liked seeing Lady Polara, she's a very different kind of Grandma. Let's face it, most Grannies do not run around carrying a sword. laugh

The message from Clark was brief, but it helped to pull her out of a dark place. This new investigation might be just the boost she needs to keep being the award winning reporter we all know and care about.

More to come.

Hi Morgana! wave

She poured the morning coffee which had grown cold into the pathetic planet that sat at the edge of the desk...
Such a sad reminder that Clark isn't there to warm it for her!

Quote
With an understanding nod, Diane moved out of Lois’ path and back to her own desk. It was important for Lois to have more time to heal. Only a month had passed since her fiancé had been taken by that intergalactic kidnapper. No doubt she was taking care of something for Clark in his… absence. There would be other days for them to get together.
It's a good cover! It gives Lois a lot of leeway!

Quote
Nolan said that it’s either you or a second-rate hack at The Metropolis Star.
What a great threat! Its almost like Nolan knows what would get under her skin!

Quote
Drab. Quiet. Gentle. Patient, Perry mused. Once upon a time, those words would never be used to describe Lois Lane, but now sadly, they were the only words.
It's both sweet and sad that Perry is worrying over her.

Quote
Frequently in the past month, Perry wanted to reveal that he knew the truth about Clark’s interstellar heritage.
Awww, I love when Perry knows!

Quote
Nor’s creature hadn’t taken one top investigative reporter when he flew Clark out of the newsroom. He had taken two.
This is such poignant phrasing!

Quote
Now Lois’ heart pounded with anticipation as she awaited the first arrival of the New Kryptonian courier Counselor Trey had promised to send.
After a whole month!

Quote
But Clark, ever the gallant, insisted he go in her place.
This is an awesome addition to the plan! All parts of this are so believable!

Quote
But oddly enough, the opposite occurred; many whom he had rescued felt it was their duty to continue helping others in need.
This is a great touch about people's response to the Superman Foundation.

Quote
There was an abrupt shimmer of light across the walls, the apartment and its familiar surroundings vanished. She was suddenly standing in what looked like a large chamber.
Such a clever idea to make this an immersive hologram!

Quote
Greetings Lady Lois, my grandson has told me much about you. It grieves me that we are unlikely to ever meet.
It says so much about this character that she's being so nice to Lois just because Clark likes her.

Quote
Zara and Kal-El are bonded in a marriage contract, but I shall make certain they are not wed, despite anything Trey and the rest of the council has to say.
Such a cool grandma!

Quote
In any event, the projection crystal can be removed from the courier and its recording can be transferred to the Globe by merely placing the two objects side by side.
I love this detail about the technology.

Quote
Jump into a juicy investigation …but be careful!
lol

Quote
Nestled inside was a small African Violet plant.
I love this burst of energy for her, but I feel like a violet is never going to make it!

Quote
"You bellowed, my lady?”
lol

Quote
“Lois, if CK were here, he would be right by your side. But since he can’t, let’s you and I tackle this one together. Do this investigation in his name.”
Aww, this is so sweet of Jimmy!

Trying to catch up on this one, and looking forward to seeing more posted!

Warming her coffee with his special vision always warms my heart! How many times have I wanted that ability on a cold winter's morning? help

Quote

Which is why he's Clark best snitch and not hers!

Quote

Yes! No mystery here. Perry is well aware of what Clark's absence is costing Lois. But as he says, when is the right time to admit knowledge of her partner's 'other job'? This is just one of the things that makes the Daily Planet's managing editor an important factor in the newsroom and in their lives.

Oh dear, that's a good point! blush

Thank you so much for your comments, they are very much appreciated!

Thanks for a great chapter! I like that Perry knows Clark is Superman. I hope he tells Lois that he knows.

Clark’s message to Lois was emotional but it gave her the strength to pull out of the funk she fell into. She definitely wouldn’t want Clark to think she was wallowing in misery.

I like that Clark has family on New Krypton. His grandmother definitely isn’t a typical grandma!

Jimmy is a good friend and it’s great that he’ll have her back.

I love this story! Thank you!
