As usual, I have way too little time to write FDK, so forgive me for mainly pointing out how I smiled and almost giggled to myself when you showed us how the amusement flowing between Lois and Clark at the (not too serious) fire site got their telepathy going, flowing between them like champagne, sparkling, delightfully dizzying and irresistible. If our two favorite reporters weren't actually high on each other!
This, of course, prompts me to ask you another question. So, Lois and Clark know that they are not brother and sister. They know there is nothing to stop them from getting together, from getting married. So when will they start discussing such things? When will Clark buy Lois a ring? Wait, that's right, they don't need rings, they have those bracelets, right? Anyway, Janet, you know what I mean. When will they seriously start making plans for their future together? And do you have some more evil obstacles to hinder their union?
After seeing Lois so deftly making all those excuses for Clark, and after seeing how she watches him take off to do his hero stuff,
Tipping her head back and staring at the ceiling, she faked a stretch and watched through the floors as he spun into the suit – a sight she’d probably never get tired of watching – and launched himself into the air.
I have to wonder if Lois is going to be content to be staying on the sidelines all the time, just watching Clark doing all the rescues. Yes, she can help him deal with his own situation by covering for him, but surely sooner or later Clark is going to need help with his actual super rescues? Who is the best person to pitch in for him there, if not Lois?
I'd like seeing Lois enter the actual hero business, too. All right: it's not necessary that she becomes an "official" hero, with an official name and an official outfit. She could stay in the shadows, working in secret from the sidelines, still letting the public believe that Superman is the only Kryptonian on the Earth. But I really think that sooner or later, she is going to blow her cover. What will happen when she does?
I'm so looking forward to seeing how you will answer these two questions, Janet. What will happen to Lois and Clark now, romantically and "matrimonically"? And what will happen to Lois in her capacity of Princess Elizabeth, Mama's favorite slayer (or stabler?) of dragons?

Too cute!
