Story

I've had this story sitting around for a few months now, and I finally got back to it today to polish it up. I wrote it in a fit of pique after reading yet another story where Lois blows up at Clark when he tells her that he's Superman, only for Clark to bow and scrape to get back into her good graces.

I understand why Lois would get mad about it, but I don't think that Clark should be a doormat when she does. So I wrote a reveal scene with a crazy-angry Lois where Clark retorts the way I always want him to.

I like Clark standing up for himself. Nice job!

Nicely done! Thanks for the fun reveal!

Awesome story. How I wish it had gone down on the show. An honest, strong, and straightforward Clark :3
Thanks for sharing

Thank you for writing this. When I read a fan fiction reveal where Lois' reaction is overly self-centered and immature, I just want to scream. And I agree that prolonged groveling by Clark is out of character. After all, he is the one who early on sent her to the Sewage Reclamation Plant.

Well done!

Lol Lois’ reaction reminded me of how she reacted in Death of Superman in the DC Animated Universe. This was great! Keep it up

I'm glad you guys liked the story! Writing it was somewhat cathartic.

I totally agree! Clark stands up for himself. He often defers to Lois and lets her take charge, but he doesn't let her push him around.

Aww, cute story and a nice reveal. Well done! Good to see you around the boards!

Reading this made me realize just how much pain and isolation Clark suffered from as a child. Wearing glasses was actually quite normal compared to everything else! Yet, despite the obstacles of growing up with these amazing (and frightening) abilities he was able with the patient assistance of Martha and Jonathan, to mature into a man with principles and a desire to help. Not too bad if I say so myself.

Lois does overreact to a certain degree and that's because as Superman, Clark spent a lot of time with her, making her feel as if there could be more between them someday. Big mistake.


The lady has trust issues. But still, Clark was keeping the secret to protect her and those he loved safe from criminals out for revenge and the media which was hungry for a story.

Great job Mrs Mxyzptlk! It is awesome to have you back!

How refreshing to read a story that has such a fantastic 'moral of the story!' So glad to see Clark explaining to Lois the real reason he kept things from her. Maybe Clark in the show never had the opportunity to see it that way. It always bothered me that Lois never seemed to understand that he was going to tell her and that fact mattered. But then if it had really happened this way, what strife and tension would we have had to look forward to instead?
Excellent piece!
