After a lifetime of having men and friends betray her, it takes a lot to get her to trust again.

Add into the mix a fatal inhalation of smoke and this story takes the reader in a direction we have never gone before.

It is such a wonderful breath of fresh air that Clark is able to reveal to Lois the truth about himself. No games or angst, he just gets down to brass tacks and tells her. In the end they are having a real dialogue. Perfect.

Your description of their conversation in the conference room was so real I thought I was in there with them!

Having Herb show up in the background was a smooth move. Utopia is saved again! smile1

Hey Morgana! smile1

Thanks for reading! Yes, I did try to make this as easy for outsiders to understand that hadn't seen This is Us.

It was kinda fun having Lois and Clark ....oh, I don't know...talk to one another like adults. Friendship naturally becomes more as Lois comes to realize who Lex really is.

I'm so glad the conversation in the conference room came across that real for you. I did my best to portray the emotions these two were struggling with at that moment.

I'm so happy you liked the way I played with the fatal smoke inhalation on Lex Luthor. That was actually how this idea started. What if it wasn't Jack Pearson(from This is Us) that died from smoke inhalation but rather our very own Lex Luthor?

Yes, I had to give a nod to Herb with this one. He had to have some hand in this.
