Well this is an interesting twist on the original. What will Superman do now that he has overheard the conversation between Miranda and Lex? Poor Lois, how is she going to last the evening with Lex? It was good but too short for me Nan, but then again I am greedy<g> more soon. Laura

Interesting part to read after vacation  . Lois is giving Clark the benefit of the doubt with Lex and Clark heard Miranda and our favorite philantropist speak. more  Jose

Oh, Lois is *thinking*! That's fabulous <g> and an improvement from the show. So she's planning to ask Clark his reasons -- and listen to what he says. Though I have to say I totally understand how she would take criticism of Lex as criticism of her judgment, taste, intelligence, etc, and react accordingly. So it's very very good that she's starting to see past that.
And yes, Lex is acting very strangely -- and yay, she recognizes the problem! Let's get her out of there gracefully, as soon as possible. Having her alone with Luthor always makes me nervous.

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

That was great: Jealous, maybe, but not petty. The little voice in the back of her mind prodded at her. She managed to ignore it most of the time, particularly when faced with Clark's disapproval of Lex. She always felt that it was a criticism of her, and as such her defensive instincts always kicked in at the slightest hint that he was judging her taste in men. How, after all, could her partner possibly know more about Lex Luthor than she did? It was just as well for Clark that he hadn't said anything.
But there remained, now, just a little tug of doubt. It was probably silly. What possible reason could Clark have other than jealousy to feel the way he did? He'd never explained his feelings to her. Didn't that show that he had nothing solid on which to base his suspicions?

Hi, Great part.  Well, tomorrow, she would ask him point blank why he didn't like Lex. Maybe, if she were just a little less defensive, he would tell her why he thought what he did. If there was something besides jealousy behind it, she wanted to know what it was, and if it was really worth worrying about. Maybe Clark didn't approve of Lex for some reason that she would find perfectly silly. His rural upbringing had given him ridiculously rigid sense of right and wrong, moral and immoral. Maybe he didn't approve of Lex simply for his vast wealth. She'd suspected something of the sort from the beginning. Maybe that was the real reason, after all, but whatever it was, she wanted to know for sure. Is she really that s****d to believe that Clark is jealous for his money. Then, What is her? More soon, please. MAF

Great job! I hope Lois finally sees what the rest of us have known since the show started.

Seems like Lois has gotten herself into quite a predicament.
This Lois seems to have a little more on the ball intellectually when it comes to Lex, but if that will avail her well, time will tell.

Oh wow! This is getting better and better! (Which is nearly impossible since this was absolutely brilliant right from the beginning!) I love the way Lois and Clark are thinking (finally!). This is so much better than the show! Lois sighed inaudibly. It was going to be a long evening. LOL I can't wait to read the next part! MORE!!! Sira -

Still great, Nan! Now, just let Lex show his true colours before Lois leaves, okay? And then give us the happy ending we want... after Lex meets with an appropriate end, of course! )
Just a fly-by! *waves*

Good progress being made here with the A-plot, Nan.
I'm looking forward to more,

Hey Nan great post! I can't wait for the next one! And I definately like this story a lot more than I liked the show...

Clark: You are really high maintenance, you know it?
Lois: But I'm worth it.
Clark: Not exactly what you had in mind, huh?
Lois: Let's see. So far I've been given a glimpse of ritual crop worship, been treated as your girlfriend, and insulted your parents. No, I couldn't have planned this.

OMG! I cannot believe I missed this was posted for so long! Not sure how I feel about your short segements, Nan. <g> On the one hand, they fit perfectly into my busy non-life and on the other I get to the end far sooner than I'm ready for. Whatever...great things come in small packages they say and that certainly applies to this story. Another fantastic segment, following the rough outline of the episode while filling in such wonderful detail and asides, great introspection and some brilliant characterisation. Looking forward to part seven! LabRat
