Great to see another part to this story. I too am intrigued by the role reversal here--Clark being the skittish one here and Lois doing the patient thing. You'd think with this premise it would be weird, but you've nicely written the characters that things are believable.
A lot of the stories I've been reading lately have included Henderson as a friend/ally for Lois and Clark. The show didn't really explore this too well, but it's nice to see an expanded circle of friends around these characters.
