Great part, as always!
He looked just like a nerd. A complete, utter, hopeless small-town boy. A hick from Smallville, just like Lois had said. The kind of guy you asked for ten bucks on the street because you know they’ll give it to you with the slightest pity story, whether it was true or not. A pushover.
It was perfect.
He turned to the door and opened it, but caught his toe on the edge of the carpet and almost fell. It was an odd feeling—both the pain from the action and the fact that he had tripped at all. Usually he was careful enough to never even have to worry about tripping (not that a little piece of carpet was usually enough to get in his way without getting completely ripped apart anyway), but with his new look it felt…natural.
This reminds me so much of Superman in the movies. Clark is more of a geek in the movies (Clark is the diguise, not Superman). Is he going to lose himself as Clark after all that's happened, now that he thinks of himself as an alien?
I hope Lois sees through this new disguise of his. After all they've been through together, she just has to see that it's him.
As usual, waiting eagerly for the next part!
