Wonderful! I love that Lois isn't completely snowed by Lex. That she recognizes that she should give Clark the benefit of the doubt - he's her best friend, and that she discards his warnings about Lex in canon is beyond annoying. Glad you fixed that!
Some funny lines:
“Still in the room,” Perry called from the dining room table.
“Who knew you were once hot, Ms. Lane?” Jack said before stepping out of range.
Looking forward to the ending.
