Didn't take her long to ask to fly with him. Clark hasn't quite realized this yet, but Lois' willingness to fly with him demonstrates her complete trust in him. She trusts him fully - not just to protect her from outside dangers, but from Clark himself. She's put it all together quickly, and she knows he not only won't hurt her, he won't allow her to come to harm. This is real love, and now I wonder how long it will be before one of them suggests the M-word (marriage!) to the other.

And when will Clark decide to put on the spandex? They both know he wants to do so much more than he's doing now, and he needs to be Superman (or whoever) in order to do it. And I think that will be the thing that moves him to Metropolis, because a base on the East Coast is far more efficient than a base in Tinyville, Kansas. (Oh, sorry, Smallville.) There are more crooks for him to ferret out in Metropolis, too, whether in a business suit or in The Suit.

When Lois goes to Smallville with Clark, she'll charm Jonathan and Martha even more, and they'll be on her side. They might even be the driving force for a wedding!

Excellent work, ladies! Keep it up!
