What a sweet story! And what a difficult assignment! Mike must fly faster than Superman, darting back and forth between Metropolis and Kansas for a good 18 years. It only makes sense that he's watching them both. That would explain their misteps; when he was off helping one of them, the other would land into federal disaster of his/her own making. How frustrating it must've been for him (along with satisfying).
I don't know how well Lois will do at assisting someone without getting any credit, but then again, she probably got used to that with Clark.
Beautiful story. I like how you fleshed out Mike's character.
Glad you enjoyed it. I always get nervous touching on religion in my stories, because I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. But the show definitely broached the subject first with Mike and his heavenly origins.
I don't envy Mike at all, having to split his time between a young Lois and Clark. Though I dare imagine Lois kept him way busier than Clark did! I agree with you on the missteps. It would explain a lot of Lois' disastrous relationships. Makes me wonder who was keeping Mike busy during the whole Luthor fiasco!
I see Lois as craving/loving the attention and credit as a reporter, but being content to be the woman in the shadows while Superman shines. She'd have to be okay with that in order to have a successful marriage with Clark.
Thanks for reading!
