It's the wonderful "It happened one (super) night" by Wendy, a favourite of mine!
I loved this very much too:
"I'm sorry I was so hard on you before. It was so unexpected ... being
scooped up and carried away by an extra-terrestrial. You did say
you're from another planet, didn't you?"
"Yes, Krypton," Clark confirmed.
"Do you mind if I write this down?" asked Lois.
"No," said Clark. "In fact, I'm prepared to give you an exclusive
interview if ... " he looked keenly into her face. "How strong is
ethics in journalism around here? If I tell you something off the
record, will you keep it to yourself?"
"Of course," said Lois. "Tell me about it ... "
Half an hour later, her notebook filled, Lois leaned toward Clark,
who was sitting on the park bench next to her. "Let me get this
straight ...," she said, "... the part you *don't* want me to
publish ... " She took a breath. "... you're from a parallel
universe where we all exist in altered form?"
"Hard to believe?" asked Clark.
Lois thought for a minute. "Well ... I suppose ... if there's
a man who can bounce bullets and knives off his chest, and melt
things by looking at them, and fly ... I guess I can believe in
the parallel universe." Clark closed his eyes briefly, heaving
a sigh of relief. "But ... " Lois gazed intently into Clark's
face, "we don't have anyone like *you* in this universe."
"Um, Lois," said Clark hesitantly. "Yes, you do." Scanning the
area furtively to make sure no one was watching, he stood up and
spun rapidly into Clark Kent. "You see?" he said softly, looking
down into Lois's astonished face.
Her expression changed, and she bounced to her feet. "You ...
you ... why, you, Clark Kent!" she spat. "You've been hiding this
all this time ... !"
"No! No, Lois! It's true that I'm Clark Kent, but I'm not the
one you know; I'm different, I ... "
But Lois wasn't paying any attention to him. "I *knew* there was
something strange about you; I just *knew* it!" She was on her
feet now, too, pacing rapidly back and forth. "And now I have
you!" she crowed. "Clark Kent, you are dead! You'll never bother
me again!"
"No, Lois, I've never bothered you; I'm not the Clark Kent you know.
Come on, just listen to me ... "
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!"
