"Clark, open up! It's Jimmy," came a muffled voice through the door.
Of course. It's his superpower.

It makes sense that fear of Lois getting hurt would overwhelm Clark's fear of getting hurt himself.

Nicely done story! I'm looking forward to seeing the epilogue.

Hi Sara!


Quote
There was caring, compassion, and a strongly instilled sense of... it wasnā€™t hero-worship.
laugh Soā€¦lust? Want? Need?

Quote
It was more like... she found Superman--him--as something to believe in, to build a few hopes around.
That heā€™s ā€˜superā€™?

Quote
Sheā€™d gone to make them some tea, and he could hear her shuffling around his kitchen, albeit much calmer than when sheā€™d been in her kitchen.
Duh! She *can* make tea. Wellā€¦heat water until it boils and then put teabags in there.
LOIS: Ummā€¦should I have removed them from their paper-wrapping first?

Quote
It was no wonder he loved Lois; she was passionate and smart and slightly high-strung all rolled into one, a fascinating mixture of perfect with a little crazy thrown in.

Quote
He was going to kiss her, and heā€™d make damn sure he wouldnā€™t forget this one.
Soā€¦he going to tie a knot in his tongue?

Quote
Her heartbeat was thrumming in his ears. She inhaled softly, and he went for it, closing the distance between them until their lips met, softly at first, then more insistently.

Quote
A sharp rapping at the door startled them both apart.
Jimmy!

Quote
"Clark, open up! It's Jimmy," came a muffled voice through the door.
clap

Quote
Clark followed her up the stairs onto the landing, still unsettled by both the kiss and the sudden interruption. Who was Jimmy?
laugh A soon to be dead guy?

Quote
if he was Superman, he wasn't missing any longer. He was about to open his mouth to say so when he felt a sharp tug on his arm.
Clark!

Quote
"Why didn't you tell him, Lois?" It didn't seem right send Jimmy off to research when they both knew exactly where Superman was.

Quote
"At least, I'm pretty sure no one does. I mean, if you hadn't told me, you certainly wouldn't have told Jimmy.
Actually, while reading As the Cape Flaps, it was established that Clark normally only tells people he doesnā€™t want to sleep with, so thereā€™s a good chance that Jimmy already knows.

Quote
What was he afraid of? He pushed harder for a memory. A flash of darkness, pricked by streaks of light, hit him. He was falling. Choking. Burning. Crashing... No!
So, heā€™s worried that the tiny space rock is going to give him a booboo?
CLARK: In my defense, I do have a past record with tiny rocks from space hurting me.

Quote
Losing Lois was not OK.
Duh! clap

Quote
She tried to fight away the fear in her chest. She didn't have time to be afraid; they needed to get Clark his memory back. She needed Superman.
Donā€™t cha worry. Heā€™s found his inner caveman again wink

Quote
She stopped mid-pace and turned to look at him. That voice... it was deeper, confident, and it was Superman's.
See, all she had to do was be a scared little woman for him to get his groove back.

The End

Looking forward to the epilogue smile1

I read and caught up with story last night. What a fun idea and reveal! clap

I loved his reaction to the suit, and how Lois didn't assume CK=SM from finding his secret closet. It's interesting how you had him recognize himself with glasses when no one else did. It was so funny his thoughts about why Lois had brought him this suit and not the business suit from the picture.

Quote
He was going to kiss her, and heā€™d make damn sure he wouldnā€™t forget this one.
So, he knows he kissed her already?

Quote
A sharp rapping at the door startled them both apart. Lois, wide-eyed and breathing heavily, just stared for a half a second. Another knock, but neither of them moved.

"Clark, open up! It's Jimmy," came a muffled voice through the door.

Lois sat back and gave him a worried look before she stood and moved toward the front door. "Something must be wrong."

Clark followed her up the stairs onto the landing, still unsettled by both the kiss and the sudden interruption. Who was Jimmy?

She opened the door quickly, out of breath, and he wondered fleetingly if it was from her rushed trip to the door or his kiss. Before he could ponder that further, a young man came through the door hurriedly and turned to face them on the landing.
Am I the only one who wondered what Jimmy would think at seeing a glasses-less Clark?

Quote
Well, he could solve one problem for the young man--if he was Superman, he wasn't missing any longer. He was about to open his mouth to say so when he felt a sharp tug on his arm.

Lois spoke before he could. "We'll find him, Jimmy. He's got to be out there somewhere. Why don't you head back to the Planet and see if you can pull up any sightings of anything having fallen from the sky last night. Clark and I will hit the streets and look for Superman."
Sooooo, Jimmy doesn't notice who Clark looks like without his glasses? I guess he does have something else on his mind. Wouldn't it be funny, if he said "Hi, Superman" to Clark without a second thought before rattling on to Lois about how they needed to find Superman to save the world. evil wink

Quote
Why was the Clark part of him filtering back, but he couldn't remember anything about Superman?
Except for the kisses Superman shared with Lois.

Quote
She leaned into him and he pulled her into an embrace, stroking her hair as her head came to rest against his chest.

"I don't want to die," she whispered into him. He could feel her body start to tremble, barely perceptible, as if she were trying to hold back her emotions.

And then something inside of him clicked into place. His mind was flooded with images. Red and blue. The cape. Him in the suit. Saving her. Again. And again. He felt a sharp pull in his chest, his heart racing. Losing Lois was not OK. His chest tightened. The anxiety was there again in his gut. But this time it was different. This timeā€¦

He remembered how he felt in all those moments, saving Lois, almost not making it. The fear was almost paralyzing. Losing Lois was. Not. OK.

He couldnā€™t lose her now.
Awwwww. clap

Quote
"No, Lois. I mean we don't need to call them."

She stopped mid-pace and turned to look at him. That voice... it was deeper, confident, and it was Superman's.

The End
THE END??? No, no, no! We need more! This is such a fun story. Many thanks to Darth Michael for giving you the nudge you needed to finish it.

Great ending. But an epilogue would be good too.
Back from the heat wave that was Las Vegas this week.
