Wow! How intense. This story really draws you in. I can see why you want to finish it after stopping all those years ago. I can't wait to see where you take this.
Interesting that Lois feels a closeness to Superman where she feels it's okay to hear his thoughts but Clark is too good a friend to pry into his. I know that is how Lois rationalizes things. Strangers' minds are okay to probe, and the man she's obsessed with, but not Perry, not Jimmy, and not Clark. So Lois.
The paragraph where she describes being pulling into Superman's mind when he rescues that woman from the fire. Then he flies down and spots Lois in the crowd. She sees him watching her. I was right there with her and Superman.
Amazing description. It took me a second to realize that she heard Clark hearing the police radio on the fire, not that it was in the newsroom. Brilliant.
At first, I wondered if she'd return home and ask the genie to remove this hearing thoughts ability, but then I realized she had the power to turn it on and off. No, with the ability to control it, she's not going to ask the genie to take the ability away. Then, I wondered if she would listen to Clark's thoughts and realize that they sounded an awful lot like another man she knew, but then she never did listen to Clark's thoughts.
Well written. I wonder how Lois will discover that these two men are one and the same. What other wishes will she ask the genie for? Will she accidentally ask something of Clark or Superman and realize it affected the other one?
