Wow, lots of feedback!
jackiek- Clark does have a tendency to brood over things. I thought Lois would be a good person to give them the metaphorical slap on the back of the head he needed
TaliaJoy- thank you! And I'm glad you enjoyed it even though the previous part didn't resonate with you that much. It always struck me that Superman (and any other superhero, for that matter) is supposed to just basically take all the death and destruction they see in their stride and never show any of the effects of dealing with it. I thought this was a bit more realistic.
Morgana- yes, finally! My story count has been very low this year
I need to get my butt into gear.
PuffyTiger- Lois saves Clark almost as much as he saves her
Thank you, everyone, for commenting. I'm glad you liked my ending! Now if I can just get Unmasked finished...
