Hi NostagiaKick
. Great to see you back!
I really enjoyed the story, too. BATP and HOL are two of my favorite (and most-watched episodes
). It was nice to have some of those moments rehashed, have things get out in the open. And it made total sense that they'd talk, being that they had just had this encounter with Lex in The Phoenix. Lois needed to know what Clark had been through as Superman in that cage. And while it was pretty unsensitve for Lois to ask Clark/Superman why he didn't save Lex--especially right after learning what Lex had done to him, no less--I'm sure she had previously had that thought and needed to ask.
I
loved Clark's hint! That hug when they are reunited after Lois comes out of the pent house, and then again when Clark comforts her during Lex's jump, has got to be burned in her memory. It was a very indirect (but also so direct) way to tell her.
Did you decide on a title then? "House of the Phoenix" caught my attention, but there were a lot of quality ideas her
.
Thanks for the story this morning
Laura
