Loved it, Iolanthe!
So by quitting time, Lois Lane was definitely exhausted and ready to leave. Then, of course, she’d been forced to stay later, kept there by the persnickety legal team, making sure her allegations were water-tight. She’d been exasperated. Couldn’t they have done their job earlier? It wasn’t like they hadn’t had three hours, for cripes sake! She’d drowsed off in her cab, and the cabbie had actually had to shake her awake at her destination. She’d barely been able to brush her teeth and strip her clothing before she fell limply into bed.
I’ve been that tired. No fun.
Lois smiled. She’d been lucky to have Perry as her editor. As a rookie, he’d mentored her, led her, taught her that nothing less than the best was acceptable. And now, faced with the greatest story of the century, there was no way he would let the Daily Planet have coverage that was lacking.
Perry is a great editor.
Although, when she’d been working on the shuttle sabotage story, Clark had dropped a few comments that made her think that he’d gotten some face time with Superman too.
You don’t know the half of it, Lois.
Although Lois couldn’t deny that the thought of taking a “test drive” with Superman sent a frisson of excitement through her too.
Lois and just about every other female on the planet would like that opportunity.
“I did. LNN NewsTime. Two blocks away. I’ve got half an hour to get there.”
So Lucy is also a journalist?
Jimmy just stared at Lucy for a moment,
I see a romance in the future.
“You should know all about being older,” Lois said venomously.
Good one, Lois.
“Perhaps Lucy would be interested to know that you covered Rudolph Valentino’s funeral.” Lois knew she was failing miserably at the verbal swordplay. Cat was scoring all the points.
Lucy fell for it. “Really?”
LOL - for Lois saying it as a dig to Cat and for Lucy believing it!
He was staring at Lucy like she was a canteen of water and he was lost in the desert.
Wonderful imagery.
Lois stared in disbelief. Her sister actually had her hand on Clark’s lapel as she gazed soulfully into his eyes.
Lois is jealous. Lois is jealous.
Don't forget to post what Lois Lane Fan requested for her story. BUT, knowing what I know, I can definitely see why you'd want to wait till the last part is posted.
