Hi, Great piece. Linda looked up at him while Clark and Lois raised their eyebrows and Jimmy scowled at Lex before heading back to his desk. Linda noticed and gave a small smile to Lex. “I’m flattered, Lex,” she said, “but I can’t accept your proposal.”
“Bad timing?” Lex asked.
“You could say that,” Linda replied. She glanced past Lex to Jimmy, who sat at his desk, flipping through photos. She looked back at Lex. “I happen to be seeing someone at the moment.”
“It would just be a harmless dinner,” Lex replied. I don't like Luthor.  “Linda, I think he lied to you,” Perry said as gently as he could. He could see the hurt cross Linda’s face. “I’m sorry, honey.”
Tears welled up in Linda’s eyes as she tried not to cry. “I, uh, I have some work to do. Excuse me.” She left the office abruptly, heading for the door to the stairwell, not able to look toward Jimmy, though he didn't notice her leaving anyway. She had a lot of thinking to do about what Perry said to her, and the last place she wanted to be was around a person who had just hurt her more than she thought possible. Poor girl, she still trying to adapt to this would.  More soon, please. MAF  MAF

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

Poor Jimmy.  Poor Linda.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

LOL - I had my comments all set to go, but they look to just be repeating everyone else.  So, what they said. Lex II - don't trust him as far as I could throw a decent-sized pony. Poor Jimmy having to deal with the superhero baggage and poor Linda - I felt so sorry for her after Perry had his talk with her. Right. Where's part three? LabRat

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Well, it looks like I was right. Jimmy not knowing *is* causing problems. I felt so sorry for Linda

So, what they said. Lex II - don't trust him as far as I could throw a decent-sized pony. There IS a reason for Lex II, believe me! I have a plan, don't worry . . . it's somewhere in my brain . . .  Well, it looks like I was right. Jimmy not knowing *is* causing problems. I felt so sorry for Linda. Isn't young love always full of problems? I mean, it's bad enough dealing with a girl, and all, but how do you tell your boyfriend that you can benchpress a Buick? Part 3 coming up (and Part 4 and 5, since I'm leaving town for a couple of days)! Jaxie

Yeah, missed a golden opportunity there to have them howling while you were gone, Jaxie! /me looks around cautiously to make sure no one is watching, then whispers, 'Thanks!' LabRat (running to check out this bonus...)
