Wonderful part, Erin! I got all caught up on your story yesterday - just in time for today's posting  There were so many marvelous things. I love how Lois did indeed head on up to the roof to throw herself off, and how the voice in her head kept urging her to leap into the danger. And of course the long-awaited meeting of Lois and Clark...the deer-in-the-headlights look from Clark that we can all picture instantly, that Lois sensed his nervousness and pressed right on. And I love how Clark stood right up to her when she started disparaging his journalistic skills. No doormat here!  Looking forward to Monday... Kathy

Yea! GO Clark! You tell her!  Lois==>  ~Liz
Lois: Can I go?
Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?
Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

Great part! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/froehlich/011.gif) Finally the meet between Lois and Clark. ![[Linked Image]](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_11_2.gif) I'm liking Lois and Clark in this story. Lois's too bright and Clark didn't allow she humiliate him. If she had allowed herself a moment to think about something other than tracking down the city's elusive super hero, she might have stopped to consider the fact that he wasn't wearing a wedding ring. Surely she wasn't indifferent to his good-looking. Good sign! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/090.gif) As he thought about Clark's genteel nature and Ms. Lane's fire and passion, one thing seemed certain. They were made for each other. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/liebe/025.gif) She opened her mouth to speak, but Clark rushed on. "Look, Ms. Lane, I'm sorry that you're angry I scooped you, but I'll have you know I'm not just some hack. I've paid my dues just like you have, and I would not have been hired here as an investigative journalist if I didn't have the skills *and* the credentials. If we're going to talk connections, there's also something else you've probably heard of--it's called professional courtesy. And right now I'm not feeling particularly courteous. If you're going to walk in here and call me a hack, you can just go and find your own sources." Good, Clark! Lois had what she asked for. Maybe so she learn to respect him. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/068.gif) I'm looking forward the next part. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/verschiedene/006.gif) Monday... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/traurig/014.gif) ~Andreia

You go, Clark!!! Now I'm going to sit back and watch the sparks continue to fly!  Just one nitpick: If he had asked, I would have told him I'd just gotten my black belt in Tai Chi last month. Umm... Tai Chi is a form of meditation. Lois was skilled in Tae Kwon Do. More on Monday, huh? I'll be here if I possibly can! Wendy

Hi, Great part.  Lois names him Superman. "Actually, that wasn't the only thing I did to him," Lois continued proudly, "but that's what had the biggest effect. If he had asked, I would have told him I'd just gotten my black belt in Tai Chi last month. Maybe if he had known that, he could have saved himself some pain and humiliation."
Clark was suddenly aware of his hanging jaw and snapped it shut. For a long moment, he continued to stare at this woman in a mixture of disbelief and newfound anxiety. A woman clearly well versed in using her feminine wiles, with the passion and fire to go after her stories like a mad woman, *and* a black belt to back it all up? He was in trouble. Big trouble. A mad Woman!

Lois is just telling in like it is.
Clark, in his efforts, to stay essentially hidden, has produced an weak insipid article. Why wouldn't Lois think he was a hack.

Way to go, Clark. He's been in the background up until now, but he sure didn't wimp out on the readers. Although I have to admit that Lois made some good points too...except that we know why Clark held back. Can't wait until Monday. gerry

Yay Clark, I like this growly version of Clark <g> It reminds me of the same Clark we knew when he told Lois "You're an investigative reporter Lois so investigate" Good job, looking forward to more. Laura

First off: Gathering information on unconventional story subjects called for using unconventional means. That's so typical Lois! Like everybody else, I love the way Clark stood up to Lois. Now we see what it's like when Lois isn't the reporter with the Daily Planet seniority! I can't wait for it to be Monday!!!!  Sira
