Very nice, plus it brings up all sorts of questions like how does Clark and Mayson's relationship develop from there and how would Lois react to the whole situation.
I never got anywhere, I did work up an outline but never used it and no longer have it.
I did think about this point and figured if I was bumping it up I might as well add it.
I picture Mayson Drake as the daughter of Paul Drake and Della Street Drake. Named for Della's boss and unrequited love Perry Mason. Perry insisted they spell it Mayson which sounds the same but created a feminine diminutive of "May".
Mayson never used it but the thought was there. Somewhere there is fanfic wherein Mayson finds out and tells Clark that she now trusts Superman because he is Clark.
In my view Mayson saw the triangle of Perry Mason, Della Street and Paul Drake when she looked at the Superman, Lois Lane and Clark Kent triangle.
Something occurred that caused Della to give up waiting for Perry and turn to Paul. Perhaps it was a woman becoming interested in Paul that woke up Della. Assume it was.
Mayson likes Clark but can see he is crazy about Lois. She figures if she makes a play for him, either Clark will see her and become interested, or Lois will wake up and turn to Clark. She sees either outcome as a win for Clark.
Finding out Clark is Superman means she has no hope Clark will get tired of waiting for Lois and turn to Mayson. After all if he does get tired of waiting he will simply out himself to Lois and after she gets over being mad he will have Lois.
I pictured Mayson calling in the story of the avalanche and the Superman rescues to Lois at the Daily Planet.
"Lois?, Hi Clark asked me to call in the story to you as he is too busy helping the victims."
I pictured the rest of the tale being Mayson helping Superman deal with all the legal issues that bothered her and trying to get Lois to see Clark and see admit to herself that she is attracted to Clark.
I pictured Lois's dismay at seeing Mayson become a friend of Superman.
I picture Mayson arriving at the precinct in
T.O.G.O.M. "Lois, he's alright, Superman took him the
Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center "
And giving Clark hell for letting Lois believe him dead one single second longer than he had to.
So, any takers?
