I almost missed this, and that would have been a shame. Can I suggest changing the message icon before the story to the blue arrow?
I'm with Laura... I thought they should tell Lois's parents, too. I realize her parents were flakey as all get-out, but I felt they would guard the secret, and they deserved to know. *Especially* after this episode, where it was so obvious that Lois and Superman had some sort of special relationship going on.
I enjoyed this story very much. Thank you for posting!
Edited to add: I see I missed *another* of your stories. You might want to consider a blue arrow for that one, too. Off to read "Since Clark Kent Came to Town"...
