Thanks, Sara, Sara, and robinson!
Sorry for the slow response. I was not feeling well yesterday, so decided to wait to respond till I felt like I could do so somewhat intelligently.
Thanks, Sara. I was worried a little that Lois' initial callousness to Clark may not go over well. It wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. Similarly, I hadn't planned on Lois telling Clark she was in love with Superman yet and considered taking it out once it appeared on my screen, but she was pretty insistent.
Sara (Lieta) - I know typically Clark and Superman didn't talk about Clark's rescue, but they're not actually being lunkheads here. The discussion is coming (in the parts I'm posting tonight, I think).
robinson - I hope RL has calmed down slightly. I do think Superman has encouraged Lois. Not on purpose, perhaps, but he has now held her several times while she cried, had real conversations with her, etc.
While he is trying to keep his distance, in reality, I think he's actually set up a situation where he and Lois have had more of the moments Lois and Clark had in the original that were the building blocks of their relationship than he ever had with his wife as Superman.
But, that's just my opinion.
Look for the next two parts later tonight...
