I'm still reading and liking it, Sam. It was a lot of fun seeing Perry react to this version of Lois and Clark:
“So I started the article while Lois was showering and she finished it while I was showering.”
Perry’s eyebrows almost met his receding hairline. “I see.” <Yep, definitely didn’t become chief because he could yodel.> Lois bit back a sudden desire to giggle.
So funny!
“You know, you’ve turned me down two times now,” Cat turned sulky, grabbing his tie so that he couldn’t get away.
Clark rolled his eyes and took his tie back. “I’m sorry, Cat, but...” It was time to be blunt or she’d never stop flirting with him. “You’re just not my type.”
“Oh, really,” Cat answered, clearly not buying it. “And what is your type?”
Clark looked beyond Cat to where Lois was just leaving Perry’s office and grinned. “Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.” At which point the elevator arrived, and he jumped in.
Cat turned back to find Lois rolling her eyes, but with a smile on her face. She couldn’t stand it anymore. “Come on, Lois. How can you not take offence to that comment?”
“It’s quite easy, Cat. Clark just compared me to Myrna Loy,” Lois answered, with a self-satisfied smile.
And poor Cat doesn't stand a chance!
Dr. Baines looked at the monitor in sheer disbelief. A man was tinkering with the Messenger! And none of the other monitors had recorded his entry.
“Go check it out,” she commanded, and her muscle quickly left the room. She turned back to the monitor and stared. The man was gone. A quick scan of the other monitors did not show him leave.
But what's this? Doctor Baines is a woman? Really? And who is that man?
“Let’s go,” she commanded and let the bodyguard follow in her wake. Neither of them saw the rock that had been fitted to the inside of the shell, emitting a sickly green glow.
Noooo! Kryptonite? Inside the Messenger?
How will Clark deal with both a bomb
and Kryptonite? Hurry back and tell us, Sam!

Tempus is sabotaging the sabotaged messenger shuttle, which means unless Lois and Clark do things differently this time, he won't be able to break their chains and escape before the chemicals explode. 
I was looking forward to seeing L&C breezing through old cases when they already know who the villain is, but I guess it'll be more interesting to have new challenges thrown in there.
, but somehow I didn't get to it. Anyway, I like your story a great deal, and the cliffhanger you came up with is absolutely screaming for a solution - the sooner the better. Of course, that's not all I like about this part. I like the conversation between Jimmy and Lucy - especially this bit: 
You'll see.
