Oooh...methinks Kryptonite bullets are involved.
Surprising, though, that they'd have made them, having not done any previous tests to know that Kryptonite is harmful to Superman. I'm assuming that will be explained in the next part. And I'm wondering if Lois saw the first bullet bounce; she might be too distraught over the second bullet hitting Clark that she neglects to think about the first one.
Oh, and it totally makes sense that Bureau 39 would work in Area 51.
I LOVE that you got the Area 51 thing! Gold star for you!
Kryptonite is definitely involved. As to how they got it/why they used it...well...you'll see. Could be luck, could be a time traveling meddler, could be...well...a number of things, really. But, yes, it will be explained.
Lois isn't registering the whole change of gun/new bullet/bullet bounce/use of the word "freaks." She's in shock/terrified for Clark. Which may be a good thing for Clark right now.
