She didn’t know what made her do it. Maybe it was all the emotions that had been stirred up over her investigation into Nigel and Gretchen Kelly. Maybe it was the reminder of how close she’d come to losing the one person that meant everything to her. Or it could have been the fact that he’d single-handedly destroyed her life and nearly killed Clark. Either way, it didn’t matter. What did matter was how good it felt when her hand came in contact to deliver the hard blow across his face.
He deserved that slap. Lois wasn't simply doing this for herself, but for all the countless people this man had harmed to acquire wealth and position.
Yes, that was one thing from Pheonix I had to fix. Lois' reaction was just like 'Okay I feel bad for you' despite knowing about the lies and crimes he'd committed over the years...No, the Lois Lane we know would have delivered a hard blow for that one. Especially considering the slap she gave Clark in Tempus Fugitive for lying to her for two years.
Glad you're enjoying the fic.
Chapter 5 is up.
