This is inspired by the conversation over in the "Memory Problems" topic. Lois goes on the gun-running story but instead of dying as in "Tempus, Anyone," Lois is saved by a mysterious individual that has her searching for this super-powered individual (that may or may not be Clark.) I'm imagining something along the lines of the "Birthright" origin that has Lois following the mentions of an "angel" or something like that.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)
