Really interested to see where you're taking this!

This is such a delicious little clue!

“Hohe Straße,” Luise whispered

Secret Tour Guide Lois is such a cute concept! I also just love how she's going along with something absolutely average for her, but its absolutely mind-blowing for Clark, and she's just not letting his shock phase her, lol.

Luise pointed toward the woman. “It’s a shame she’s the villain in this story.”

I LOVE Lois' take on this! The 'villain' was a very clever woman, ad basically an investigator herself!

Did you know that I always wanted to be a reporter like you?

Well, that's just heartbreaking.

his comic book alter-ego had appeared, doing exactly what he’d always wanted to do and using his powers in ways Clark had never dared to imagine.

Oh yeah! I can't wait to see how this story unravels!!

Awww. Broken Clark AND Broken Lois. They're a matched set.

a strange remorse as if he were missing a life he’d never really had.

Also heart-wrenching.

Looking forward to what comes next!
