I second these two. This needs more! You've set up some intriguing prospects (no pun intended) on whether or not this "King Midas" has superpowers. In the RL, part you're throwing hints out that Lois might end up meeting Clark, but no hint's how it would likely happen (yet). At the Parade in the chaos? At a museum? Running into each other on in front of the famous cathedral?

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.)
