Very interesting...

So assuming the "him" Miranda referred to was Lex, who was the woman he was with? And did Miranda spray him? And did he have her killed?

I love how you've switched Lois and "Clark" when it comes to relationships. Lois seems to be more open and trusting, probably largely thanks to her time with the Kents, and Kal is the one with emotional scarring. Obviously they're attracted to each other, and they've just all but said so outright. But Lois definitely pegged him and his psychological troubles in her own particular fashion!

This part was great, and I'm looking forward to more! I'm especially looking forward to when Lois decides to really make getting Kal to have a life her "project!"
