And besides, Clark/Superman was so moral and ethical, that if he did do anything a normal reporter couldn't, she imagined he'd do it sparingly.
Why do I think that if Lois had these powers, she'd be looking through doors at the drop of a hat?
"Thanks... I... didn't...no," he said, then suddenly skeptical. "Why are you being so nice, Lois?"
She was a little hurt at that. <<Am I really usually such a jerk?>>
It's rather sobering, isn't it, Lois? Maybe you really are such a jerk to him all the time and you didn't realize it till now.
<<Did she *know*??>> He suddenly thought, fighting the wave of panic. <<Lois would surely have skinned me alive this morning if she knew.>>
The trouble is, that's not something Clark can just ask Lois. "Hey, did you figure out I was Superman?"
He'll just have to wonder what she knows.
