Being More Discreet

This was written for Fanfic Weekly Challenge #8.

You'd think that Clark would be better at keeping his own secret that he's been hiding his entire life.

Never could understand why those two were so indiscreet during that episode. This makes much better sense.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Yeah, this is one of those eps where you have the urge to chase them with a 2x4 to beat some common sense into them. Great untwist.

As you know from my challenge (and my fic response to my challenge) I found it staggering how they behaved season 3 and 4 - but 3 being the worst.

They fought a lot in public -when he was Superman. I guess it made for a 'funny juxtaposition' but it was annoying to me, as a viewer.

Perfect untwist! Those two were complete lunkheads during that episode. Makes me want to just slap some sense into them. This is so much more sensible. Thanks for taking up the challenge!

I'm glad you guys liked it. I don't usually do short, quick stories, but this was fun (cathartic, maybe?) to write. It really seemed like once Lois found out Clark was Superman, and especially after they got married, they got really sloppy with his identity.
