I should probably comment on the story...
I can perfectly understand why Clark hasn't told Lois yet. It's going to take him getting angry at the way Lois is treating him to make him say something. And he's not going to do that because he is too full of self-doubt and fear. To him, as Clark, he's only a friend to her. I don't think they are at the best friend stage yet in this story either. There is no reason, other than his need to be with Lois, for him to come clean. So far, he has Lois (in a way) so he doesn't have the need to confess.
I'm really dissappointed with Lois, however. I saw her "helping" of Clark more of a sense of duty than any kind of feeling on her part. It's interesting that no one has ever thought to ask Clark what it was like being held by B39. For Lois, she screamed right off for Superman to come help her. What if Clark
didn't scream right off? What if they tortured him to make him cry out for Superman? Has she thought of that!? No. She's so worried Clark or someone else will betray Superman that she's ignoring the fact that maybe Clark might have taken a beating at the hands of his captors.
Enough rambling. I am really enjoying this story. I thought the ending of this chapter sucked.

It was cruel to cut the scene off in the middle like that.
