Clark took his wife's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. She smiled back at him, then reached up for a swift kiss as the colors swirling around them settled into the familiar shapes of their kitchen.
I’ll have to admit, it took me a moment, but, well…I guess that’s a great way to resolve this mess
"Nobody in this room has any right to tell me what to do!" Lane thundered. "Nobody!"
"Wrong," his wife said, quietly, causing every one to look up.
He was in their arms faster than a speeding bullet. "You look so young!" he exclaimed when he finally pulled away.
Huh, right. I wonder what Clark did with his very young looking replacement wife body.

OTHER LOIS: Let’s just say, Lois will have some…interesting dreams in the upcoming nights.
Clark sighed. "It's...a long story," he said. "One I still don't think you're old enough to hear."
Oh, does it involve crossdressing as Wonder Woman?
Clark sighed. "Yeah, I know. I guess Lois was right,
OTHER LOIS: Ya think?
I don't think even you have a contingency plan for being sucked into another universe with no warning!"
"He has three," Selina replied.

"Oh, by the way, your investigation is still making progress," Lois cheerfully told their other selves.
"What investigation? Bradford?" Her counterpart asked, frowning slightly.
"No," said Lois. "Well, yes, but I meant Luthor."
"Since we didn't know who he was, it took us a while to figure out why you were pretending to date him," Clark added. "Of course, once he tried to kill Superman, everything started to fall into place."

"Anyway," Lois continued, "we couldn't find where you were keeping your notes, so we just put ours in Clark's apartment, in the place where he keeps his suits."
Yeah, ‘notes’. Right. They’re in Lois’s love-letter shoebox underneath her bed.
Nearly everyone in the room sighed with relief. Still, Lois gave a wistful smile. "I'm going to miss being young...er."
"I know what you mean," Clark replied, grinning. "I'll miss having twenty-twenty vision again."
Snuck a peak in the elevator, did he?
Lois's counterpart froze. "Twenty...twenty...vision?"
Oops?
Clark's counterpart paled. Behind them, Bruce's face schooled itself into that blank, stony expression that Selina insisted meant he wasn't laughing at something.
"So, what, does this mean Lane was Superboy?!" she snapped.
The feelings of remorse evaporated.
"Lane was *what*?!" Lois shouted.
Her counterpart snorted. "If you like," she said, "we can discuss his extradition after he's served his punishment back home."
Served, huh? Like a two week stint on the ceiling for starters?
He shook his head. "I just can't believe he didn't tell his girlfriend that he was Superman! I mean, what lunkhead tries to pull that off? And with Lois Lane, of all people?!"
To be fair, she’s not his girlfriend.
Lois laughed. "Well, Honey, it's not our place to judge his choices."
He raised an eyebrow at her.
"It's the other Lois's place," she clarified.
Oh this is such gold.
"I'm thinking," she said, "that we're alive, we're home, and our son's sound asleep. We don't have to worry about Jimmy interrupting us, or Cat needing something out of the storage closet, or Luthor trying to bug the room. As long as no one else needs Superman, we're free to do whatever we want."
Yeah, about that. Thin walls. Superhearing son.
She laced her hands behind his neck. "Kiss me, quick!"
Ooooh! That’s great
Great story, Mary!
Michael
Ooops! Outing Clark as Superman in front of everyone! 
...
. Great job, and I really enjoyed the ending.
