So … little chance of her getting the position. And much too hard work if she did.

Awww, Lois. Love this insight into her insecurity.

"Well, now. Isn't this amusing," came a sarcastic sounding, masculine voice. "Of all the people to run into … it's little, naïve, impressionable-"

Another 'oomph' sound came down the alley and the man groaned. Lois heard shuffling and she called out again. "Is everything okay?"

Gotta love it when Tempus gets thwarted, especially when it seems it's before he can carry out his plan. smile1

"My name is Lois Lane. Well, actually it's Lois Joanne Lane-Kent, but that's beside the point."

"But …" Lois was frozen in place, the coffee cup still half way from her mouth back to the table.

Lois shocked speechless! Okay, she's teenage Lois, but still...

Oh boy, I'm excited to see what changes and how with Lois's knowledge about her future name! lol dance

Looking forward to your next update.
