HOT! and it was only the Gfic version. [Linked Image] Lois is so thumbsup

Question, LabRat, did you ever write a sequel exploring what happened later on the episode and how that might have changed?

Virgina,

One of my favorite stories. The part I loved the most and was the most telling in the L&C canon was:

Quote
"Hey," he said quietly, sounding concerned. "You okay?"

She nodded. But she knew that she had grown tense in his
embrace and that he must surely feel it. She could hear the
beating of his heart against her cheek, solemn and steady. His
arms tightened around her. He laid his forehead against her
hair. "Don't go," he whispered.

She raised her head to look at him, startled. There had been
fear in those words. "Go?" she said, confused.

He shook his head and in his eyes she saw such depth of
emotion, such love, such terror, such desperate longing, that
it almost broke her heart. "Clark," she said sitting up to view
him better. "What's wrong?"

"I can feel you going," he said. He put up a hand to her cheek,
his palm warm against her skin, before he slid it deep into her
hair. His eyes were somber. "Moving away from me. Leaving
me...."

What was in his eyes....

The revelation was so startling, so profound and all-
encompassing, so *clear* to her all at once that it seared the
breath from her.

She could hurt him, too.

Neither of them had power, one over the other, she suddenly
understood. They both had the capacity to hurt, to wound....

Or to love.

It was their choice.

The passage really 'got it' for me and to me was the true epiphany. And the nFic version was even hotter!!
