Amen to that. And I don't see how this Lois Lane could live long enough to ever
trust Clark again.
As I see it no matter how much groveling he does she would
never be able to trust him. So she may accept him back, she may
try to forgive him, but I can't see it working and I can't them being happy.
If they did get together it would just be another federal disaster.

When Lois left shortly after Clark died...Lois Lane was already a three-time Kerth winner by the time Kent joined the Planet...Two months after Kent’s death, Lane’s byline had not appeared on the front page of the Planet since the article about Bonnie and Clyde. When she quit suddenly, her colleagues were not surprised, but they expected that in a few months she would recover and come back. However, it was two years before anyone saw her byline again, and that was on page 7 of an issue of the Boston Globe. Only her old colleagues at the Planet and those at the Globe even noticed how far she had fallen.
“Lane lasted at the Globe for no more than a year, never bringing in a big story, and when her byline was seen again six months later for Long Island Newsday it was only for small pieces – things like local dog shows. She stayed at Newsday for five years, but a year ago she quit the paper and no one has seen her byline since then.
“She just wasn’t herself after. She blamed herself for Clark’s death..."
Somehow I think learning Clark is alive may be just what
this Lois Lane needs to move on in
all aspects of her life.
I expect to see some classic hard hitting Lois Lane reporting appear
very soon as she throws herself into her work.
I can see her walking into the offices of the
San Diego Union Tribune with a top notch article. They take it as freelance, it is picked up nationwide and a couple of weeks later she is back with another. A month later
NewsWire's
Where are they now? feature is about the stunning return of Lois Lane.
This might make a better prelude to
Superman Returns than did Superman II.
Lois and Clark could try to get together but after they get together it just isn't working and he flys off to check on Krypton. This Clark seems the type who would do so without saying "Goodbye".

anonpip Please don't think we are angry with you, it is not you. You write an interesting tale, but your Clark is such a total
scumbag, you are going to need dozens of parts to make us accept him as a good guy, let alone Lois accepting him again.
You need a good reason, or perhaps several good reasons,
why Clark didn't tell Lois he was alive. Perhaps something like the events in the beginning of ML Thompson's
The Second Stage of Grief Perhaps you need both that and something like sending him to help Zara on New Krypton for a decade and starting this story just shortly after he returned to Earth.
I can see a jealous Clark
not telling her and going to New Krypton because it is his duty and it is so much easier than staying and watching Lois go on with her life and get over him.
When he gets back she has dropped from sight and he assumes, since the Kents have not heard that she died or anything, that she has married and been distracted from her career by having and raising children.
Disclaimer: I did
NOT say Lois Lane would be distracted from her career by having and raising children. I said this Clark could
think that.
It could be that
NewsWire's
Where are they now? feature is the first time he learned what really happen to her.
