Ooh, pretty feedback!
Glad you liked Lois' mental processes, Elizabeth. Sometimes the mind works on levels we aren't aware of. And Lois has never been dumb.
I'm not planning a sequel right now, DW, but I don't know what the future holds, either. That might depend on what the gentle readers think.
Glad you liked most of it, Laurach. As for Clark's thoughts about Cat, I assume you were referring to his comparison of the two eager women to her. Guys notice things like that. We tend to rank women according to their level of attractiveness, but it doesn't mean that we're actively attracted to them. It's an objective ranking, I promise. As for Lex looking good, remember that his handsomeness is one of his tools. Guys don't always know when another guy is really good-looking, but we almost always know when he's well-dressed. That doesn't mean we're attracted to the other guy.
I'm not writing a gay Clark in this story. Or ever.
Iolanthealias, thanks. Yeah, Lois is brilliant, and because she's not blinded by the powers, she's able to look closely at both of them and realize there's only one. And that's not a bad suggestion for a sequel. I'll toss the idea at my muses and see what they think.
Glad you liked the Lois/Lucy conversation, Michael. I've met sisters who seem to be that close to each other, and I've always wanted to write Lois and Lucy that way.
Next part up very soon!
