Hi there!
What a fun read!
She tried to move but chains fastened her down. They were green and had the acidic stench of kryptonite.
Really visceral!
The harsh, sterile light above her blinded her. It was all she could focus on to blot out the pain. The pain of losing him. Time and time again. The pain of losing their child.
“You should be honored,” his oily gloved hand massaged her swollen stomach. “The alien hybrid you carry is humans’ salvation. Your sacrifice will be remembered.”
This really sounds like Lex!
Based on the title, I know that this is an 'out of the frying pan, into the fire,' situation, but I'm still glad that was just a dream!
A sleek black car –she hadn’t seen in years–was parked in the center of the room.
Ooo! Intriguing that she's seen it before - has she had an interaction with Bats?
“I can take you with me when I go,” she glared at Amber, showing her she meant business.
Awesome!
If she died it would allow Clark to move on –settle down with a being like him, who could carry on the legacy of Krypton. He could be the father he was always meant to be. Without her.
So interesting to see this from Lois' perspective. It reminds me of the episodes where Clark tries to leave her for her own good.
She had ten minutes to form an escape plan.
I love that this is her interpretation of what they said!
The tears she had held at bay for months poured out at full force. “Smallville,” she whispered.
Awww.
His eyes bore into her and she forgot their situation for a second.
This is so poignantly sad.
Her knees gave out and she collapsed onto the cot. Her lips were cold and chapped. She didn’t want to go on living.
You can really feel this.
“You keep saying that, but I don’t love her,” Clark’s jaw worked in frustration. “I love you.”
Poor guy, lol.
“I missed that,” Clark said seriously. “I haven’t seen you smile in a while.”
That's pretty heartbreaking.
This really pulled at the heartstrings!
