Better her than Lex, is all I have to say. True. Because even though Lois wants to kill him, she won't actually follow through with it. Okay, it isn't. I have more. Be warned, I'm a bit corny today. Wahoo! Cornfest!  <<gulp>> let's hope he has enough invulnerability left to survive that belly flop. Well, to be fair, it's not like he's a mile high. He's not exactly 2 feet above the water either. He's going to be hurting. Aaaawwww. I'm thinking she *likes* Clark. Yeah, someone spotted him! Which is good, because he doesn't intend to sleep with the fishes. Superman was as much a friend to Lois as Clark was? Or Superman was as much her friend as Superman was Clark's friend? The first one. Perhaps I'll clean this up when I prep it for the archive. Guess summer has gone bye-bye already. Eh, I'm thinking not freezing, but colder than aniticipated. Why lifeguards save as many people trying to help drowning victims as the victims themselves. Yep. Wow, I didn't know how strong Lois was. Dragging Superman from the bottom of the lake, with his dense cell structure. Rush of adrenaline, like when a person can lift a car off a toddler. You see, it really wasn't the CPR that brought Clark back, it was Lois repeatedly applying her lips to his. Hey, whatever it takes, right? But, Superman, we already know what you look like when your suit clings to your body. Yes, but all that mouth to mouth left him...compromised.  Oh, dear, I was sure the lake would have washed it away. Nah. We need an excuse to get him naked at Lois' apartment. Henderson?! Oh, dear, did someone else spot Superman falling into the lake? Nope, just Lois. Two things actually. Kryptonite and Lois Lane's blood. Okay, three things, if you count her cooking too. Luckily, there is no Rumaki in sight. Yes, much better to go to Lois's apartment and strip naked. She would NEVER see the similarities then. Go thing that Kryptonite and/or drowning didn't kill any of his brain cells. Too much pain and sickness to think all that straight. Um... because Lois went to save him, he thinks she likes Superman as much as she does Clark? Because he thinks she's forgotten all about Clark. Drop me off at Clark's, would you? We share his apartment. I sleep in the loft, him on the bed, so I have a change of clothes there and will be able to find something edible. I'll be sure to have him call you when he gets in.  That's leads to an interesting debate. We know that Clark wears briefs (per UW episode). Would he really wear boxers under the suit? (I personally would think they'd leave more evidence under such a skintight suit.) Would he really wear briefs under the suit? (I mean he already does have those shorts on the outside.) I'm going to go with "nope." But then, where are his Clark clothes, when Superman gets naked? You know, I played with this too. I might change it. Ooops. I went over my smilie limit. Possibly me too.

That's because last year after learning that a super hero was flying around Metropolis who had a crush on her and could look through anything except lead, Lois decided to invest in a lead-lined bathroom door. And yet, she's paraded around before him in just a robe/skimpy pjs. Okay, maybe more toward the BaTP/HoL arc, but still... On a totally related subject, I was reading one of the new Superman comics at store today and Clark pulls open his shirt to reveal a Superman t-shirt. As soon as it hits the air it formed his super suit. My kids started getting antsy at that point, so I didn't get to read more, but I thought that was an interesting development on the costume change. Huh. That's an interesting thought. Would explain where the boots and cape hide, at any rate. :p Again, Lois and I aren't seeing a problem here. Me either.  That and the towel clad body, and the smart-alecky remark. Well, to be fair, the longer he knew Lois and was Superman, the more Clark-like he acted with her, before she ever knew. THAT should have been a red flag. If Lois still thought this was Superman, she would have never told him to tell her "truthfully", because she knew he would. And if he wasn't feeling so drained and achy, he would have caught that. Because... uh... this is... his monthly visit from Concubines-R-Us and honestly, Lois, you really don't want to see that. But...but...but...She has the PERFECT outfit to fit right in! Sure, he will be. Just take me along with you and I guarantee you he'll be there!  Oh, give up, Clark! You've already lost. Can't blame a guy for trying? Maybe, possibly, there is a slight chance that Clark wasn't born exactly in Kansas, yes. Or within this solar system. But really, who's keeping track? I agree with the others, not only is he in trouble, he's naked and in trouble with Lois in possession of his clothes.
This is great! I didn't expect such a discovery so early. Can't wait to see what you have in store between this two. Thank you! I hope I can deliver on such high expectations!

<checks his pocketsessss> WTH? The One Ring???? Let’s hope she won’t sink, too. Adrenaline to the rescue! What if that water contains Kryptonite? Will this be like the Krytponite lipstick? I thought about it, but figured it would be more fun to torture Clark with Lois figuring out his secret instead. So no, he just got lucky. Does Lex have someone watching? Possibly. It doesn't necessarily have a bearing on the rest of the story. Looks like he doesn’t have too much brain damage. Unless ‘Lois’ is the only thing he remembers. Will he go ‘Lois Lois Lois’ in the future? /hopes they won’t start calling him ‘Lois’, that would be confusing/ Hodor? Hodor! Hodor Hodor Hodor!!! <watches Clark pick up and carry a small child with a broken spine> Who knows. It might just deaden his powers until it’s out of his system or he’s dead. Is it like Polonium poisoning? Well, if like 2 grains of it could almost kill him in Top Copy... /slaps Clark over back of head/ No! You might really push him into Hodor land at this time! /nods/ Decon, like in James Bond – Doctor No. <has never seen a Bond film in her life>  SO full of win! Forgot to mention: what will Lois think when she see's that his boxers have 'C.K.' stenciled on the label? That's just Kryptonian for "Kal-El."

Isn’t he getting ahead of himself? Although, wouldn’t it have been extra funny if Lois had found a ringbox with a solitaire inside his uniform?  Torture by Lois or torture by Kryptonite? /imagines Clark standing here, complete undeicded/ There's a difference? Plus, he’d be willing to stand in for Clark if she wants to test them first. Lax security?

True. Because even though Lois wants to kill him, she won't actually follow through with it. She wants to kill Superman? Hmmm. That doesn't bode well for Clark's chances in Part 3, does it? Well, to be fair, it's not like he's a mile high. He's not exactly 2 feet above the water either. He's going to be hurting. I imagine so. Which is good, because he doesn't intend to sleep with the fishes. Yes, I'm constantly trying to remind my son that breathing under water isn't possible. :rolleyes: ME: Superman was as much a friend to Lois as Clark was? Or Superman was as much her friend as Superman was Clark's friend?
DC: The first one. Perhaps I'll clean this up when I prep it for the archive. Okay. So, she likes Superman enough to go on a date if he asks her? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif) I thought she was past that. Eh, I'm thinking not freezing, but colder than aniticipated. Not freezing? In September? That would have made Clark's bellyflop into the water even more surprising if he had landed on ice. Rush of adrenaline, like when a person can lift a car off a toddler. As oppose to the toddler lifting the car off of his adoptive Kansan folks? Hey, whatever it takes, right? I didn't hear any complaints from Superman; of course, he did empty his lungs of lake water. :p Yes, but all that mouth to mouth left him...compromised. No wonder he asked to sit in back, where she couldn't see him. Nah. We need an excuse to get him naked at Lois' apartment. Oooooh! Does the nakedness play an important role? Can you imagine explaining that one to a cop when you get pulled over? I'm sorry, Officier. My friend the Superman impersonator is having an allergic reaction to his new laundry soap and I need to get him to my apartment and naked... stripped of the suit as fast as possbile. Can you give us an escort so we can get him there faster? <<Lois bats her eyelashes>> Meh, I figured it was minor. Maybe I'll add something in the final prepping. Lois: Superman, do you have acne? Me neither. Something about Clark's overly modest self... Phsaw. Those very paitent men and their modesty. And yet, she's paraded around before him in just a robe/skimpy pjs. Okay, maybe more toward the BaTP/HoL arc, but still... But that is completely different than him peeking into her shower. Well, he hasn't told her yet. So, anything HE hasn't told her is a better guarded secret than the true location of Area 51? I couldn't resist the throw back in order to start the revelation process for Lois. CLARK: How did you know? LOIS: That scar under your right breast. CLARK: I don't scar. LOIS: Made you look! He doesn't come up with the laundry excuse until Season 2 though. And this is Season 1 We're easing into S2. Yep! Exactly what he needed to hear. To help relax him before her cupper cut comes out of nowhere. I had a better idea? (Though I considered making him wear her bathrobe!) Of course, Lois is bitterly distracted on the disappearance of Clark to think about offering the naked super hero in her shower more than a towel to wear. I'm sure there's no ulterior motives here, whatsoever. I only have Clark's best interest at heart. Then paint his body blue and become Dr. Manhattan? Wasn't Dr. Manhattan nude, too? I can't stop  at your back-and-forth. Michael, I think you created monsters out of Virginia and me both. I, for one, appreciate it! Me, too, Michael. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/n050.gif) Evil Writer Monsters Unite!

She wants to kill Superman? Hmmm. That doesn't bode well for Clark's chances in Part 3, does it? Depends on how mad she gets over his deception. Too bad painkillers do nothing for him. Yes, I'm constantly trying to remind my son that breathing under water isn't possible. Of course, Lois is bitterly distracted on the disappearance of Clark to think about offering the naked super hero in her shower more than a towel to wear. Yup! Also, would *you* ask Superman to cover up? Because I sure wouldn't. I only have Clark's best interest at heart. I'm sure you do. <Lois turns around> Hey, Clark! There you are. <Looks at him suspeciously> Were you just in the shower with Superman? Clark: "Uh, well, there's something you should know..." Lois: "I KNEW it! You two are lovers!" Awwwwwww. I'd love to see Clark with rumpled hair. <drools> You're right. It's much better to let his inner Clark show than his outer Clark show. Being a Gfic and all. But...but...but! Oh, I *guess* you might be right... <pouts> <Five years and counting, Lois still doesn't know> LOIS: Superman, why are you wearing glasses? Did that last nuclear blast hurt your eyes? Hehe! The harem outfit from PML. Oh, dear. Didn't mean to psych you out. I'm very much enjoying the read. And I am enjoying the feeback! Wasn't Dr. Manhattan nude, too? Yes. Very, very naked. Me, too, Michael. Evil Writer Monsters Unite! The EWM group?

I tried quoting, but it did not quite work the way I thought it would.
quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If he was hurt, she would never forgive herself, she knew.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aaaawwww. I'm thinking she *likes* Clark.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets just hope Clark clues in on this.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all, he was as much her friend as Clark was.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Superman was as much a friend to Lois as Clark was? Or Superman was as much her friend as Superman was Clark's friend?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The former meaning is what it means. If Clark knew she put both his alter-egos at the same level things would be good. Evidently it works best if he does not play his hand too soon.
On the CRU issue, the Harem outfit might not be the only one in PML that would work. Lois was showing off in multiple outfits in that episode.

Wow, so a reveal and all here. Love that Lois didn't even hesitate before diving in to save him. It's always painful seeing Clark felled by Kryptonite, though, so I hope he's managed to get it all off.
Love the bit about him still having so much to discover about the woman he loved, as well as the sentence that stepping out to meet her in nothing but a towel was one of the bravest things he'd ever done.
Here's hoping that Lois isn't TOO terribly mad at him!

Here's hoping that Lois isn't TOO terribly mad at him! I didn't start this one intending on a reveal, until I decided that it needed it and it would be a great set up for using the prompt. Lois gets to discover things about him, and he does about her.  Glad you liked that bit about stepping out in the towel. I really enjoyed writing that part in (and had a *very* clear image in mind for it - mmmmm Clark in a towel!). True, she's seen him clad only in a towel before, but this time, he's intentionally stepping out in one.
