Awesome chapter, SQD! I know that Lois has been severely wronged and she has serious issues, but I really love who Lois has become. You've added quite a bit (and changed some, too!) since I last saw this and it flows so well now.

I can't help but smile at how comfortable Lois is in her own skin. Maybe it comes from spending all that time being confined in jail - alone with her thoughts. I loved how she practically took over Clark's apartment and silently demanded that he and Lana accept her for herself.

The early morning discussion was my favorite part. Her curiosity about Clark's super side, her admission about shooting and wanting to kill Lex ... thumbsup

I'm also glad that she's finally started to mourn. What better place to break down and cry than against Clark's chest?

More soon,
B
