“Lois, will you marry me?” Clark dropped to one knee, displaying a ring.
His question was followed by a brief moment where all Clark could hear was Lois' heartbeat, the rain and their breathing. Then Lois leaned closer, coming so close their lips were almost touching. She dropped the bombshell. “Who's asking? Clark…or Superman?”
Oh,
gaaaaaahhh!!!! How
could he????
Yes, I know very well that this is what Clark did in the TV series. And it is what he did in the comics, too. He proposed to Lois without telling her about his double identity. In the TV show, he worked his shapely little a** off to convince her that it is better to love Clark than Superman. He made her go through a lot of heartache as she gave up her crush on the Man of Steel. Considering that he himself
is the Man of Steel, I'll never like him for working so hard to keep Lois in the dark about the truth about himself. And honestly, when he asked her to marry him, he asked her to trust him completely and to accept him exactly as he presented himself to her, as plain old Clark Kent, farmboy reporter from Smallville. That is the guy he asked her to share her
life with. Please don't tell me you think this kind of behaviour is all right, Pincessanna!
I suspect that you are going to teach Lois a lesson in this story and make her see that she is hurting Clark very cruelly when she is rejecting him, and moreover she is an idiot if she is giving up a one-in-six-billion guy like Clark. I, too, want Lois and Clark to be together, and I, too, want Lois to get over her anger. But please, please, please make Clark see that he was the one who was wrong here. To be so dishonest about who you are when you are asking another person to share her life with you - well, that is very close to unforgivable.
