Can't wait for your next fic. Thank you, Ken. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll admit, the first two chapters, and this last one, were my favorite parts to write. Hopefully I'll be able to start posting Specimen S by the end of September. And hopefully other rabid plot bunnies will attack me in the meantime.
Battle On,

Awwwwww. You circled back to Waffy romance.  Like I could get a word in edgewise anyway. It did not take long to get to the movie theatre. But to their disappointment, the show they were hoping to see was sold out, and neither of them were all that interested in the ones which still did have tickets available. Clark stuck his hands into his pockets, debating with himself as to what he should say now. Ooops. Lois shook her head. "Nah. We'd never get there without cheating," she said, lowering her
voice to a confidential whisper. /Pst. You've got an extra paragraph break after "her"/ We could fly out west and buy ticket for a show on the West Coast? "Well, there is one place I can think of that we can go," he replied, a hint of mischief twinkling in his eyes. His palace in the clouds? "My place. We can rent a video on the way and have our own, private movie screening." /nods/ Much more romantic.

"I'd like that. But let's not rent a movie. Let's just go to your place. We'll make some coffee and just relax for a while." CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/n022.gif) Soon they were at his apartment, Clark carrying Lois' gym bag of stakeout clothes so she could change into something more comfortable. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/o052.gif) Bringing in a change of clothing. Now she was there as the woman he was dating. His - dare he think it? - girlfriend. Think it all you want, Clark, but wait after a few more dates before saying it out loud. "Hey," she said, stepping into his kitchen, clad now in comfortable shorts and a soft-looking shirt. Look who's ready for bed. "A little," Clark admitted. "But in a fantastic, exciting new way. At least, it is for me."
"It is for me too. And I feel like...I don't know...like we should have been doing this from the start." Awwwwwww. CLARK:  on my youth!>> "First I was hoping you'd even want to go out again. I figured I'd worry about the actual date once I knew that much." Probably a good idea. Then she stood and moved to Clark's chair. Clark scooted over in surprise as she climbed up onto the lounge chair beside him, snuggled into his side, and lay her head on his chest. His arm immediately encircled her, holding her securely to him, the tenderness behind the move showing her just how precious she was to him. No, no, no, Clark. You don't scoot over. You allow her to sit down on your lap. "I know. But...I'm not so sure I want them anymore. Don't get me wrong. Flying with you is one of the most amazing things in the world, and I'll always love doing it. Especially knowing what I do now, that you and he are one. But tonight...tonight we were just a normal, average couple, and it was beyond anything I ever could have imagined a date with Superman - with Clark - would be." Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. "Particularly when I'm not flying you away from some mortal danger," he added, utterly unable to help himself. Priceless!  Clark bit his lower lip, growing suddenly concerned over Lois' serious tone and topic change. He hoped - prayed - she wasn't about to drop some bombshell on him. He hoped she wasn't about to say that she was wrong and that she could never -would never - be able to reciprocate his feelings. His heart gave a nervous spasm in his chest. He wondered if she could feel the change in the organ's rhythm. Oh, Clark, she's practically sitting in your lap, I doubt she's going to tell you that she's not interested in you. "I don't love Superman."
"You don't?" The words came out half strangled and fearful. CLARK: Phew. I was worried there for a moment that she'd only want to date *him* and not me. Oh, wait, he *is* me! What are you saying? Who I can love is the ordinary man. The one who holds down a job and pays his rent on time. The one who brings me coffee and makes it better than even I do. The one who will share his chocolate dessert with me or listen to me rant or brighten my day with a smile - who stands when a woman enters the room and holds doors open for people without expecting so much as a thank you in return. The one who edits my copy, even when I claim I don't need or want it, and who has never turned me away from his door when I've needed him. I love you, Clark. Not the caped hero. Not the powers. You. Clark Kent." Oooooooh, Clark. Lois luvs you! "And I love you, Lois. I love everything about you. I have, ever since the moment I first laid eyes on you. Being with you - working alongside you every day and spending time together as friends outside of work - has been the greatest time of my life. Until now. Now...dating you...I feel like everything in my life has paled in comparison to this." Awwwwwwwww. In the next instant, his lips found hers - or perhaps her lips had found his - he wasn't quite sure. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that they were together. He lost himself to the moment, knowing that this was the greatest moment in his life, and knowing, somehow, that things would only get better from there on out. How regency of you, DC! The 'I love yous' before the first kiss. Awwwwwww. How sweet! An enjoyable read!

Awwwwww. You circled back to Waffy romance. An enjoyable read, both A & B plot alike. Thank ya. Thank ya. I did try.  I'm sure this Lois would have understood, being that she knows about his alter-ego and all, and they haven't had the "don't disappear on me in the middle of a date" argument. She would have, but it still doesn't bode well to show up late on the first date. CLARK: Blah, didum, blah, blah. <pictures Clark with a "derp" face> I love the super-glued expression! Thank you! That made me giggle when I wrote it. Rushing by the seat of his pants, yet found such a bouquet of flowers that described Lois to a T. Oh, and BTW, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. And that's why he's Superman. Again with the visual imagery. Beautiful. Thank you.  Why one should only go to fancy expensive restaurants with people they aren't head-over-heels in love with. And take the people they ARE head-over-heels in love with to...Friendly's? Well, this is Lois. She has a minor in conversation, but only because the professor couldn't get a word in edgewise. Babbling - A+ Random Tangents - A+ Snide Remarks - A+ The Right Questions - A+ Subtlety - C- Yes. See? Oh, dear, she's caught him already. Where's the fun in that? Chasing sucks. It's enjoying the spoils of the hunt that's fun.  LOIS: Ooooh, Clark, introduce me to your handsome friend who cooks.
CLARK: I cook.
LOIS: Oh, please. You make food; he gets paid the big bucks to do so.
KENNY: They aren't that big.  oh, *that* won't grow old quickly. It's Lois so...no? And it's Clark so...he won't get bored? Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Looks like another hero who didn't plan ahead again.
LOIS & CLARK: Let's go back to *my* place.
LOIS: Jinx! Now you can't talk until I say so.
CLARK: Like I could get a word in edgewise anyway. We could fly out west and buy ticket for a show on the West Coast? Or...better idea? His palace in the clouds? Borrowing his pal Batman's desserted island? /nods/ Much more romantic. I tried.

Bringing in a change of clothing. Cuddling in a dress is not fun. Think it all you want, Clark, but wait after a few more dates before saying it out loud. <was calling now hubby her boyfriend after the first date> Worked out well for us. Look who's ready for bed. All the better for cuddling with! CLARK: *Now* she tells me! Actually, as long as we stay together, it still counts as a date, so, stay the night... forever? They are already working on "forever." Um... Lois? Have you met Clark? Clark: "Just...checking...for clones." What? Guys actually have to have a plan when you go out? Nobody told me that! And isn't that kind of putting him on the spot? I mean, *do* they have to have do to something? Okay, in my defense, I've never been on an actual date-date (like the one described in this story) that I haven't arranged myself, so I wouldn't know. All the dates I've ever been on have basically been hanging out. <<Excuse me, on my youth!>> Awww. We used to plan ahead. "Hey, next weekend, how about the zoo?" or "Oooh <fill in movie title> comes out this weekend. How about we hit that then <fill in restaurant name>?" It was a little back and forth - sometimes he'd come up with ideas, sometimes it was me, sometimes it was spur of the moment. Don't cry too hard. I married my second real boyfriend, so I missed out on that who, part of my "youth." (Am still 29 years young!) Not that it will take long to figure out how to wine and dine her again. No, no, no, Clark. You don't scoot over. You allow her to sit down on your lap. That might...make his pants too tight. Why thank ya! Oh, Clark, she's practically sitting in your lap, I doubt she's going to tell you that she's not interested in you. For a superhero, he's pretty insecure about himself. Maybe he should take self esteem lessons from Tony Stark. CLARK: Phew. I was worried there for a moment that she'd only want to date *him* and not me. Oh, wait, he *is* me! What are you saying? Oooooooh, Clark. Lois luvs you! Yeah. Just a bit.  How regency of you, DC! The 'I love yous' before the first kiss. Awwwwwww. How sweet! An enjoyable read! Actually, I didn't plan it that way. It just sort of happened and flowed. But glad you like it!

The poor old woman who'd been mugged had had a heart attack on the scene, and he'd rushed her off to the hospital. So, he saved the mugger from a 2nd degree murder charge? leaving Clark's heart rate elevated and his feet barely able to move. Good thing he can float, huh? He was aware of the fact that he was staring and that he should probably say something.  ? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/k020.gif) Somehow, it reminded him of Lois. Awwwww "I've been ready for a long time." Nauhgty! Afterwards, whenever someone asked about the restaurant, he could only come up with the words "elegant" and "warm," knowing it had to have been more than just that.  Michael

So, he saved the mugger from a 2nd degree murder charge? He's so thoughtful that way. Good thing he can float, huh? It has its advantages. Let’s hope Perry doesn’t ever send them to write restaurant critics. Or hotel critics, for that matter. “How was the hotel?” “Wonderful ceilings.” Oh dear. Like Mayson. Toni. Cat. Toni. Miranda. Linda. Lana. :p Clark! Not on the first date. She’s a lady. Not according to a lot of nfic stories... So, sitting together in a dark room filled with other, being quiet and watching some images flitter across a wall tens of feet away? Instead of strolling through Centennial Park? Less awkward silences when Clark's brain shuts down over the fact that he's dating Lois? Trying to get to the third date in a hurry, aren’t we? Yes? Yes, Clark. After everything she’s said and done this evening, she’s going to dump you now. Doofus. Aw, look. He's paranoid! What an adorable way to end the summer, Vicki! Thank you, Michael! Very much appreciated! There’s two vignettes about that on the dark side. Named ‘Jinxed’ I think I might have read those a while back... Sure it is! Depending on your motives. Cuddling in underwear, then?

He's so thoughtful that way. Isn’t he? Say, wouldn’t that make a good Star article, on how Superman always makes sure the crooks are okay and just dandy? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif) quote: Clark! Not on the first date. She’s a lady.

So, Clark should consummate with Mindy if it helps to unravel Intergang on the DP frontpage? <almost chokes on vomit> Um, I meant like x-raying through walls to get information they need.

I don't want to scare her off.

And wait-- archives is deadline too? /hangs head in shame/ Gotta look back at what's left to send over there still... Can't wait for September, then!!
