Great chapter, Rachel! Lois's palpable relief at Superman's return was a dynamic contrast to her vitriol towards Clark. But where there's a pocketknife, there's hope.

Clark definitely needs to tell her that he's Superman. But not now. Not yet. Not until he's worked himself a little closer to her good graces. Then he can overturn her entire world with those three magic words.

Hey, is this the ultimate dark dream you were heading for? That Lois is so mad at Clark for not telling her who he really is that she pushes him away for a while? Ugh! That would be too cruel, yet it would work within this storyline.

Whatever path you choose, I know it'll be a great one. You've done such a wonderful job so far, I hate to think it might have an ending somewhere down the line.

So where's the next chapter?
