She lifted her head. “Jimmy!”

The young man came rushing over. “You yelled?”

You rang?

“The Nemean Lion was the first Labor of Hercules,” I explained, being somewhat familiar with Greek mythology. “Its skin was impenetrable, and Hercules had to strangle it to kill it.”

“And they’re working with DNA . . . . Clark, you don’t think they’re trying to make invincible animals—or humans—do you?”
Is Luthor trying to create a Superman - a Black Knight - of his own? Or is he trying to come up with a way of destroying Clark himself, the real Black Knight deal? shock

“I think James Prowse is behind it,” she told him. “I said some things he didn’t like the other day on the phone, and he threatened me.”

“I’ll look into it, Lane, but I have the feeling a bigwig like him would have covered his tracks—if it even is him. You’ve made more enemies than my wife has cousins—and her side of the family breeds like rabbits.”

Henderson's wife's cousins? laugh

That part of the African sculture was interesting. I wonder what the anguished expression on the sculpture's face means.

Quote
About three-quarters of the way through the movie, Lois put her head on my shoulder.

Though I felt I might melt, I tensed immediately. I wanted to say something, but my breath was caught in my throat. My head was at utter odds with my heart.

I knew I needed to ask her to move—I shouldn’t be allowing myself to become accustomed to her touch. It was already dangerous enough to be this close to her.

But I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I just sat there in silent turmoil.
I found myself holding my breath at this.

Quote
Eventually, she lifted her eyes to my face. She must have noticed the tightness of my expression because the realization of what she was doing suddenly struck her, and she moved her head off me and scooted further away from me on the couch. “Clark, I’m so sorry—I didn’t mean to . . . I didn’t even realize . . . . ”

“It’s okay, Lois,” I said with a gentle smile, nodding my head to turn her attention back to the movie. After staring at me for a few seconds to make certain I really was okay, she returned to watching the movie.

I had to close my eyes for a few seconds before I did the same.

And though I told myself that it was for the best that she had put this distance between us, I couldn’t shake the strong sense of loss I felt.
I share Clark's feeling of loss. How can he get over his phobia?

And what will it mean to him to have Lois sleep in his apartment for the next few days at least? Will he get even a wink of sleep himself?

Interesting twist there. Now you're going completely original, which is nice btw. Unspecified animal research in combination with the Nemean Lion. Maybe spider silk vests on a government contract. And Luthor doesn't like the competition?

Wonder when Clark's going to detox long enough to fix Lois's laptop. Certainly not while she's staying with him. And the touching sure is fun.

Ack! You can't stop there! I mean, I'm glad you didn't leave us hanging for long after part 12, but now I just want more!

Nice tale thus far. That said Your Lois Lane is very different from canon Lane. I hope you have some bits in the tale to allow us to see why she is less isolative than canon Lois.

Ann-- Hahaha. Love the portrayal of Jimmy as Lurch and of Henderson's wife's "cousins." Pwahaha.

It is a pickle, isn't it?

Mostly original, yeah. Still some echoes from the series, though!

Hahaha. Maybe they're manufacturing Spider-men?

LOL. Oops. It should be fixed now. My "secret" is out now--for a lot of the OC names, I mixed and matched the first and last names of Star Wars actors. Prowse obviously being one of them. :p

Hmm. Well, I guess in part I think it's obvious to her Clark needs someone. But I do touch a tiny bit on Lois's past in places. Guess we'll have to wait and see if the change in character really is believable. If not, I can always make edits/additions. smile I believe fanfics to be constant WIPs!

Great part!

Liked the touching and bonding - Lois keeps "wanting" to touch Clark - I think that was the second or third time she didn't notice - and Clark both likes and dislikes it ...
