Peixinho, Aww, thanks! This one was a lot of fun to write. And I love Fly Hard, too!
Imagine, her partner's last act in life would have been saving her life, and then she'd have to remain trapped under his corpse for hours!!! What a trauma!
Deep trauma - she'd never recover. Good thing he's Superman.

For God's sake, woman, don't do that!
Not everybody knows how to behave with rocks?

She also said she liked being on top, so being underneath him now must be creating some new neural pathways.
Just balancing the relationship a little bit!
I wonder if he actually needed to rest. To me, it's possible for Superman to feel tired in this kind of situation, especially because of the psychological aspect of it. Either way, it's an adorable image.
Thaaaaaanks! And I think he definitely needs rest by the end of this. He seems to use quite a bit of energy on each feat, but recharges super-fast. There was another episode (season 4?) where a villain trapped him in a missile silo to try and curb his re-charge, and it worked. Based on that, maintaining the task of holding up this much rock plus the workers on top of them should be depleting some of his resources for sure.
It's interesting how he's almost leaving the decision of whether to reveal his secret up to her.
I wanted them both to make the choice, but since they can't exactly talk about it, that can't happen in real time. So he's already decided that he'll tell her, and I guess now he's just waiting for her to take him up on the offer.
I'm melting! Their cheeks touching, the song...
Oh, good! I was really hoping this would read as gentle and sweet, not cheesy.
AmyPrime, thanks so much for the feedback! There was definitely some dramatic irony playing into how this was read! And YES, those rescuers definitely posed an extra layer of problem!
Bakasi, thank you so, so much! That's very kind to say. I tried to figure out how Lois would want to be comforted -- because telling people 'calm down, you're alright,' is usually pretty fruitless. I'm glad it worked for you!
Anna, it's like when your career is going well, things are inevitably falling apart at home or somewhere else, lol. The case isn't going well, but, boy, they're really bonding!
But one he is very willing to pay if she needs it.
Verity, Yes, absolutely! I wanted him to make the decision, but to give her the ultimate choice.
