Poor Clark. I'd again say that I want to give him a hug, but yay Lois for breaking the rules and doing that. Taking a chance; that's what it's all about.
These Superman Foundation people and Miss Simmons definitely need to get a piece of Lois' mind, if Clark won't give them his.
Loved the tiny touches you threw in, such as Patrick from Operational Services.
And then the little humorous bits like: By the time they got there, Lois was losing the will to live -- or would have been, had she not already been dead.
Very deftly handled! I love this.
