Wonderful part, delightful cliffhanger.
Hmm, I did read the Cat tale you cited and based on that and your remark
Something in her smile made Clark wonder how much she already guessed.
I assume Cat is going to help Lois get past the security and to Clark.
I do hope you will start the next part with a flashback to the scene in Luthor's office.

He looked at Clark now and then, but he kept the gun on the woman.
Summoning the last of his strength, [Clark] waited for just the right moment, and he leaped. Well, he tried to leap. It was more of a stagger. In any case, it worked. There was a gunshot, a struggle, and that was it. It was over.
it sounds like Clark set himself up to be shot. I assume Ms. Eskin toggled the switch to the security system allowing Pete and Mr. Eskin inside where they could deal with Luthor.
