Thanks .

Huh, I was thinking someone was going to regret it in the morning. Maybe? Though it sounds like Lois is going to freak. And Bruce instead of Lex? Interesting.

nice. very nice.

Now, *this* is more like it.

Riveting! Heh, I'm supposedly on the clock at work, so thank heavens my php software is still downloading because I finally came out this part, and did one of these:

Oh my god I should have clocked out ages ago!!...oh I'm still waiting for my new software. :p

Great, great part,
JD

Hi Carol.

I finally got here. I've had trouble finding reading time but I was able to get all caught up tionight. I love the story so far.

For this part I like the wohle Clark-gives-the-theater-story-to-Lois approach. It's very in character and I can't think of a better way to prove to her that he is serious about putting her interests in front of his own.

I loved the dance and was caught completely off guard by Bruce Wayne. I have to admit that I enjoyed it when Mayson got pushy and Clark left her standing.

And finally, the whole scene in the apratment from Lois being upset, to the air-dance and finally to the more personal activities, was just absolutely wonderful.

All I can say is WOW!! The ending loved it. Now Bruce Wayne did not see that coming but think of all the possibilities. Can't wait til the next chapter.

I second the WOW!!!!! Carol, I have really been reading, but I haven't had the energy to comment somehow. But I just totally loved this. No Lex at the Orchid Ball (or whatever it was called - I can never learn that name) but Bruce! Hmmm, interesting. And Clark brushes Mayson off!!!! Way to go, Clark!!!!

But I'm with you. Everything is going so smoothly that I'm getting worried.

This is Carol, if she is letting things for Lois and Clark proceed like this then it follows that she is setting us up for something truly evil.

I'm worrying that Zara is about to show up and whisk Clark away and while he is gone saving New Krypton the Nightfall asteroid will hit killing everyone on Earth. Clark will return to find a dead planet with a three mile thick cloud of dust.

I sure didn't see that coming!

Thank you for dealing with Mayson in such an efficient and decisive manner.

I love that Clark air-danced with Lois! He's really being himself with her - for once he's not hiding anything.

And I have to say again that I love Lucy! Lois needs her around.

More soon please!

I hope I'm just being overly paranoid. But... well, this is Carol. When swimming these waters one must always ask, "Those fins in the water, are they dolphins or sharks?"

Bob

And now we find out the reason that neither of them has taken the time to find a lawyer.

I loved Lucy's warning about Lois taking Clark's story and also Lois' confession to Lucy. I can't tell if it was intentional or not, but it shows that this Lois and Lucy have a more mature relationship than in the show.

So Lois thinks about it, but we weren't given a clue to her conclusion. I hope you revisit this.

Interesting turn of events to replace Lex with Bruce Wayne. It makes me wonder if it's for plot or for fun. Oh, and I enjoyed the Mayson brush-off, but felt that Clark acted a little bit out of character with his final response to her. Mayson didn't seem particularly catty about her questions (although admittedly too intrusive), and Clark's response and him walking away from her seemed overly harsh.

I also loved the dancing on air. Lois tried so hard all night to keep up a barrier between them, but Clark wouldn't let her. And she finally gave in.

How long is this story going to be? A vague estimate would be ok, I just need to fortify myself against how much angst to expect.

I assumed that Clark is off pulling one of his "stunts." They do need a reason to invent Superman. Only this time they can do it *together.*

I also love that Lois sees right away what a good writer Clark is. She's nervous about trusting the "too good to be true" aspect of Clark, but she's not seeing him as a loser at all. That's refreshing.

I disagree. Look at the context. Clark is wearing a wedding ring and Mayson That alone deserved being abandoned on the dance floor. Mayson's questions were not simply too intrusive, they clearly had an agenda.

Sorry but a woman with an agenda is dangerous. Just as in canon Mayson saw something she wanted and went after it.

It would have been safer if Clark had been less open. He needs to learn to answer those type of questions with questions. As it stands Mayson asked a series of leading questions all very clearly focused on getting Clark to say "ignore my ring".

I couldn't agree more! And not only did Lois see Clark's story-writing skill, but she decided that she shouldn't take advantage of it - she shouldn't steal his stories, even with his permission!

I loved seeing Lois like that!

I'm with Framework4 on this one.

The first rule of a committed marriage is to run, not walk, from any member of the opposite sex who is even the least bit out of line. A lot of affairs begin as 'platonic' friendships that are inappropriately intimate in a personal, but not an overtly sexual, way. Mayson's behavior is exactly the thing that should send up giant red flags for any married man. And we know from the show that Mayson does not take subtle hints.

This is why it's so significant that both Lois and Clark have left their rings on. They are letting the world know that they are off limits, even if they haven't necessarily admitted it consciously to themselves. (Well, Clark probably has, just not Lois.) I love how Clark is slowly winning Lois over just by acting like what he is--her husband.

WOW Amazing!!!!! I agree with everyone on this -
Bruce Wayne - So-oo much better than Lex Oooh - does that mean we get to see Batman? and perhaps he is the one to help create Superman? Can't wait to see how you are going to have Superman created....
And, oh yes, great put down for Mayson - never liked *her* either! I mean, Clark is wearing a wedding ring. That is so bad.
I loved the dancing-on-air to Fly Me to the Moon. (which is fast becoming one of my all time favourite songs ) sigh.
It was so like Clark to give his story to Lois, but I am glad that she didn't take it. Clark is really such a sweetie - it won't take long for Lois to be head-over-heels. It has already started

Forgot to mention - Thankyou for the link for the dress - wow it is *gorgeous*
I had pretty much got the picture from your description, but to actually see it in your link - just beautiful!

Yeah, oh just what could it mean

Yes, yes, good idea /nods vigorously/



Aren't we a jealous mommy tonight ?

Hmm, would be nice if they were to make good use of the empty apartment. But you probably sent Lucy off to cavort with Jimmy so Clark can sleep on the air mattress.

Awwwwww...

really? You're not really going to...?

You are

This was way too warm and fuzzy to be a Carol fic! Really nice chapter.

I'm with everybody else thinking that Clark's out of the room making breakfast. I'm really liking this angst-less fic (secretly hoping that chapter 9 is not the start of impending doom )
