Actually what told me this is not really a Lois and Clark story, is Perry says "don't call me chief", he outright encourages the title in Lois and Clark.
This story feels more like it belongs in the Other Superman fan-fiction section than the Lois and Clark fan fiction section. The only maybe a little L&C aspect is Clark being overly politically correct, but even the only example of that I can think of is SM going overboard to get a milk jug in the recycling. L&C Clark was not a bottled water drinker, he was a milk/pop/orange juice/wine drinker. Especially per the Pilot, bottled water is just too healthy for him. As we learn in ASU he is into full café, sugar and all that.
