6. Hmm… that one, too.
7. Sounds familiar.

QUOTE #1:
As it happens — fairly frequently — I’m the first one on the scene.
Now that I've figured out which story this is, suprised that it took so much 'research' to figure it out. I think it is:
QUOTE #2:
“The tune. Come Fly With Me. You know, by Frank Sinatra.”
Oh! I know this one! YES!
QUOTE #3:
“You take the keys.” Lois said as she tossed them.
I just don't know! Hmm. Hopefully the excerpt will help.
QUOTE #4:
“It must be hard to be the only one on Earth without powers.”
Ok--I'm going to go on a guess here. Fairly...really just 'maybe' confident my answer:
QUOTE #5:
Love isn't supposed to be this hard.
Ummmm.....Hmmmm. Yeah.....I am clueless
QUOTE #6:
And the laugh — the full-out, roaring laugh — silently spilling from the child’s toy, but echoing loudly in her head, sounded just like Clark Kent.

Know it. Pretty confident. I believe it is:
QUOTE #9:

I've thought and thought on this one. Can not figure it out
.
QUOTE #10:
"I know about Christmas. I know all the different traditions and where they came from, what they mean."
Just had the pleasure of reading this recently

EXCERPT#3
Totally going to go for a guess here. Is it?
EXCERPT #6
Oh! Wow--Can I blame not getting it the first time on my cold?
