I like it! I like the fact that not only is Clark concealing his enhanced abilities, so is Lois. Nice turnabout on the cliched "You've been lying to me!" rant whenever Lois learns Superman's secret identity.

I'm not Buffy-literate, but I'm not having any problem following this story. I agree, Lois is learning as she goes, and there's no Giles around to guide her. I only hope that Clark doesn't assume that she's been co-opted by the forces of darkness before they fully earn each others' trust.

Next chapter, please, Shayne? And keep the little hidden funnies coming. They're unexpected but great.
