Laura, are you sure you can do this in just one more part? You've set up Jealous!Clark very well and put Parker right in his crosshairs. This has the potential to be very explosive, either in a positive or a negative way. And we still haven't actually seen Mary Jane! That girl's no pushover either.

I don't know if you were aware of it, but back in the 70's DC and Marvel did a couple of Superman/Spider Man teamup stories. My favorite scene was in the first story when Lois and Mary Jane met at some NASA exhibit they were all covering and Lex Luthor kidnapped the women wearing a Superman disguise in full view of both Peter and Clark. Peter then grabbed Clark's arm and yelled, "Phone booths! Where are the phone booths?" The image of Spider Man asking Superman for a phone booth where he could change clothes was hysterical to me.

Hey, are you going to have Peter discover Clark's secret too? Wouldn't that make for some interesting newsroom conversation.
