*is still mumbling from the last part*
She blinked, and ducked her head. "Yeah, no... You're right... but it's okay, really. We're both pretty emotional. It's not a big deal. Forget it happened. Won't happen again." She brushed it off with a wave of her hand, but inside she was crushed. He'd thought she was *her*. The other Lois.
ACK!!! *Thud*
She swallowed her emotions, everything. She would have to think about all this when he wasn't here. She couldn't allow him to see that it had affected her. Not with the kiss and not with his quick retreat. And if she was smart, she wouldn't *let* any of it affect her. She *hadn't* felt that surge of... something. Electricity? It didn't matter. She hadn't felt it. And it certainly hadn't stung when he'd so hastily apologized for... probably the best kiss she'd ever experienced. Nope. Lois Lane was tough as nails. Nothing bothered her.
Well, not to worry. She wouldn't let it happen again. From now on, it was just Clark and Lois, two people helping each other out and fighting the bad guys.
Yeah Right! Good luck with that.
"Not really. Kent thinks she's dead, and I'm sure he's lost interest, especially after that imposter last year." There was a short pause, then, "You say she didn't actually make contact with Kent?"
"That's right, sir, she turned tail when she caught sight of the swarm of reporters. I don't think we'll need to worry about him. Seems she's a little on guard, trying to stay out of sight. So... not a big development, sir, but I thought you should be advised."
"Keep me posted."
HA! Little do they know.
The little voice inside his head that warned him of danger. Lois Lane was dangerous. She was an unknown entity. Completely unpredictable.
Lois Lane meets Clark Kent, they fall in love and live happily ever after.
He'd fallen all right, directly off the edge of a cliff. And now he was tumbling down, grasping at strongholds and failing to catch a single one.
Ooooohhh! Nice part. Love the visual emotional image here.
He wondered if it had even fazed her. He had tried to listen to her heartbeat and been unable to hear it over the thunderous clamoring of his own.
HA! He liked it. <G>
"Lois, what happened in Kayes?"
He'd have sworn he heard her heart stop for the barest of seconds, and he knew in that instant, he'd screwed up. He'd been too abrupt. His mouth hadn't consulted the common sense part of his brain. He tried to say something else, to take it back, start the conversation again and not be a total jerk about it... but his vocal chords had suddenly gone on strike.
An inarticulate gasp made his head snap up again. Her jaw was slack and she was staring at him incredulously. "I never made it to Kayes."
.....uh oh.
The pain sara! Oy! The agony. Evil Evil Evil!!!! What Happens??? I want to know, dammit. Post SOON!
Rach
This is horrible! He wants this Lois to be the other.
Was Lois intercept in England or maybe another part of Europe?
