But she did not seem to mind his lack of eloquence. Instead of asking more questions, she just nodded and made her way back to her own desk. Clark straightened in his chair. He needed to shift his focus back to the tasks at hand - finish the investigation and leave Metropolis. It was simple as that. He had done it before. Perhaps he should just cut his ties right now, get up and leave the Planet, claiming to be sick. Writing his resignation would not take more than a couple of seconds.
Wow! Hard to believe Clark would turn tail and run like that! He has gained so much since coming to Metropolis. How can he possibly imagine that anyone - even Luthor - would connect the dots and think that they point to him?
He watched Mrs. Platt and her daughter until the doors of the elevators closed behind them. He felt like a traitor for having considered, if only for a moment, running off and leaving this investigation to Lois. Of course, he knew it would have been in capable hands, but still… Talking to Amy had fueled his resolve to bring Luthor to justice. He could not continue to run at the first sight of trouble. There was so much more he could have done, had he not always shied away from risking exposure. Amy had already lost her father, he should not add to her pain because he was afraid to do what was right.
That's so much better! Clark is all about helping and for awhile he forgot about that. So glad you used the character of Amy Platt to remind himself of all that she can't do, but that he can. Time for the real Clark Kent to take center stage and I don't mean Superman!
