That's EEEEvil - with more than just one capital E.
Still, it's also brilliant. Love your humor, as always.

"What if we weren't actually...I, I mean..." He paused again. "What if we were supposed to be...uh...." What if indeed! Brilliant, love it!  And I'm worried at how much I'd love to delve deeper into this... situation, because: what if?

Brilliant. What a wonderful, wicked, warped sense of humour you have. Thank you.  And I'm worried at how much I'd love to delve deeper into this... situation, because: what if? Well hey, if anything comes to you, go for it!

Nice concept. When I read this I think of The Girl Next Door by Janet Owens . What would have happened the TGND universe if they had both been sent in the same ship? They have been raised as brother and sister but have a betrothal mental bond. What would they do when they find out that they are supposed to be married? Bob

What if she was his infant bride instead of Zara?  Love it. It makes the whole being raised together as brother and sister thing a little more...  I love that Clark beat up Claude. That was terrific. Can I have CK for a big brother?

I loved your story, Queenie! I loved the scenes you chose and the characterizations. Claude's mumbled apology was priceless. I also love that you ended it just when you did. My psychology-geek daughter tells me that in a situation like this a romantic relationship wouldn't develop, even if they found out that they were biologically unrelated, because they are socially and psychologically siblings. Apparently we humans are designed *not* to fall in love with the people we're raised with. Of course, they're not really human, but psychologically I think they are. Two thumbs way up! 
This *is* my happily ever after.

Interesting concept! I wouldn't mind reading more to this.

That was great and Claude's mumbled apology was awesome! How much happier Lois would have been if it really happened that way (except, of course, for them both being raised like siblings). I also loved the scenes that you chose!

I have to echo everyone else. Great! And you are the new Queen of Evil, setting our heroes into a situation like that.

Hehe, love the implications at the end. Makes you wonder. Even IF they were to start loving each other romantically, how would the rest of society handle that? How would they be able to explain they weren't really brother and sister if the Kents have raised them as such all along? (It's tricky enough with them probably not having legal birth certificates or adoption papers to begin with, and whatever cover story the Kents have been using all these years might get thrown into question...) Okay, see, now I want more!

"Jonathan! In that rocket! It's...It's....."
"Babies?!" Well, the context already said it all, but still He raised an eyebrow. "You kidding? Getting away from you is one of the highlights of---hey!" A pillow smacked into him. Aww they are cute. "ImSorryForHowITreatedYou.ImSorryForBreakingYourHeartAndTryingToStealYourStoryAndIWillNeverDoItAgain. Goodbye." Now, wadda ya know. Looks like he got hit a steel beam or something falling out of the sky. Their mom handed him another outfit, fresh from the sewing machine. "Try this one, dear." Too bad we didn't get 'protective Clark' when he saw Lois's costume "Good night, Lo," he continued. "I love you. A-a-as a sister! I mean, I love you as a brother loves a sister. Um---" Oh dear, Oh dear...  ?  Michael
