What an interesting story! I really enjoyed it. You give Lex a different and quite realistic perspective here. I especially like the part where he says that he knows Lois would unmask him one day, and that he never actually intended to break her and only said that to torment Superman.

some misguided war within about wanting her to want ground version instead of the air version...Silly naive man. Only the air version would know me. Anything else sounds like a jealous person rejected or too slow to make a move.

He has a point here.

“While she may forgive you in time she would never forgive me.” Lex stopped again and looked at Clark, letting that hang in the air between them.

“Do I see us growing old together...no honestly I don’t.”

I love this part.

Thanks for sharing! wave
