I'm an A-plot junkie, Annie, so I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this. But you had some really lovely touches, particularly (as others have mentioned) Clark backing off from telling her as Supes and telling her as himself. I also like that, for a change, one character didn't open mouth and insert foot at the worst possible second. (Can you tell my feelings towards forced angst?
)
I confess that I found Lois' cluelessness a bit forced. C'mon, Lois: he's telling you his parents found him in a capsule, and you still don't make the connection? Although if your Lois never envisioned a secret id for Superman, the idea might never enter her head, I suppose. So I guess I should forgive her.
Lovely beginning, Annie. Looking forward to MORE!
