Hokay, now I know where the 'any language' part of the title came from.
You know, if I was blown away by a woman who subsequently treated me like Lois is treating Clark, I'd have to sit down and re-think my first impression skills. She's even more abrasive and standoffish here than she was in the pilot ep! Makes me want to trip her.
I'm glad Clark isn't just sitting back and taking it. He shouldn't quite respond in kind, I think, but he should let her know that he's not scared off by her crummy attitude. And maybe he should play a little hard-to-get, eh? Maybe he shouldn't be such a doormat this time around.
Very nice alternate take on the first meeting! I wonder where you're going to take this, but wherever you go, I think it'll be an interesting trip.

Ditto to a big, interesting trip! I just caught up with this one tonight. I'm also glad Clark isn't put off by her crummy attitude. She'll crumble. :p

Lois in dominatrix mode. Me thinks Clark kinda likes it.

“Do the girls usually fawn at your feet when you say that? Do they throw you their bras and room keys?” Oh, come on, Lois. You are just being mean… She barely paused before blowing him off, in a big-sister kind of way. “Look, I’ve heard lines from men all around the world. Your’s isn’t bad, but it’s nothing to write home about, you understand. I’ve turned down men from every habited continent on Earth in at least a dozen languages, so save yourself a little time, huh? I’m just not interested.” No, in any language…. Seventeen countries in twelve years? You traveled much too frequently to make any real friends, let alone establish a meaningful relationship. So the no-dating policy was probably pretty good protection. I knew you were a smart one, Lois.” Stick it to her, Clark - albeit gently. Well, I'm not liking this ultra mean Lois, but you are certainly writing her well. I certainly think Clark ought to back off and let Lois figure out just what she's lost.

Hi, Great part!

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

Yikes! What an attitude. I'm still hoping that she's going to get a comedown somewhere along the line. Maybe she's had bad experiences along the way, but that's no excuse to be so nasty to someone who has been nothing but nice. This Lois is a major witch. If I had a co-worker like this, I'd avoid her like the proverbial plague.

I just got caught up on this one and I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying it. I think Lois is being a b@#*% for no reason. But, I know that the two of them will somehow find their ways into each others hearts. Very well done, but the parts need to be longer...or post more frequently...whichever comes first. 
I'm a firm believer in the fact that God doesn't put any more on us than we can bear. He does however make us come to Jesus every so often.

I had a friend who used to be accused of this. She was the only gal who served with a bunch of jarheads (a civilian post). After awhile she just assumed the worst, that every little comment was a come-on, etc. I'm also glad Clark isn't put off by her crummy attitude. She'll crumble. If she doesn't, this will be a real bummer of a story, and no one will ever read anything I ever write again. Hmmm.... can't let that happen. Now, how about I post one part now and another part soon.
