A great, great part!
Clark notices me staring as he approaches and his expression turns wary. He looks behind him and then surreptitiously checks his tie and then his fly. I smile.
I wonder how much of this is to distract Lois and make her think that Clark just came back from the washroom, and how much of it is real social panic ("did I leave my zipper undone?")
That’s when I realize that leaving my shoelaces untied was a mistake. The plastic tip of the lace under my left foot rolls out from under me and I suddenly find myself in a free fall.
A well-written, spine-tingling "Lois in danger" bit!
It had worked, too. I brought in the scoops, usually narrowly escaping with my life intact.
I guess I'm just out of practice because I don't see any way out of this one.
A perfect time for you-know-who! And of course, he's there.
He is, undoubtedly, the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. Well, maybe after Mel Gibson … and Clark. Clark has better hair.
This is freakin' hilarious and oh so true. I hated they way they slicked back Superman's hair on the TV show, but of course it was necessary.
“Shh,” he says.
Shh? No one shushes me. I open my mouth to tell him so when I remember he’s just saved me from certain doom.
You've got so many good lines in here I just can't stop laughing. That's Lois down to a T.
“Sir,” a third voice comes from inside the room. “Her wallet, mobile and press pass are on the table.”
Is this good or bad? Did Lois mean to leave those behind? I guess that way Lex can't track her via cell phone, credit cards, etc. I'm assuming from the previous mention of cash and fake ID's that Lois did mean to leave this stuff behind. Good for her, prepared to run at a moment's notice.
I roll my eyes at Trask’s fallacious conclusion and catch Superman doing the same from the corner of my eye.
I can just see them both doing the eye-roll....Better watch out, Clark - eye-rolls don't go with the Superman persona!
It’s definitely not the first impression I want to give the superhero – half naked and sleep creased with bed head.
I hope, after the revelation, that they talk about this later on. I'd be interested to hear what Clark thinks about Lois when she has bed head. Is she still beautiful in his eyes?
His eyes narrow slightly at my question and he releases my hand to cross his arms again. “Is this an interview?”
“Well, I am a journalist. It’s what I do.”
“Do you always interview your rescuers, Ms. Lane?”
“Only the super powered ones that fly.”
Oh, man, this is great too! It's so Lois. Dressed in sleep shirt, with bed head, just rescued from certain death - and she dives right into an interview. Good good good.
Your first public rescue was a few weeks ago, but Trask thinks you’ve been here a lot longer than that. Is it true that you’ve been here for almost thirty years?”
His stunned look and vocal paralysis at my barrage of questions is interrupted when a loud thump snaps both our heads up toward the ceiling.
Good thing for Clark that Trask distracted Lois from this question. Otherwise she'd be all over it like white on rice, and Clark wouldn't be keeping his secret for long.
My new understanding makes me realize how much I want Superman to trust me. True, any personal information about the man of steel would be a big story, almost the biggest story out there. However, I’m a big story, too, and I don’t particularly want every detail about me given to the general public. I realize that a good man doing his best to help deserves what privacy he can retain.
I like this. What a difference it makes when Lois is married and is "Mrs Luthor". She's a paparazzi target herself and automatically has more sympathy with Superman than she would have as a plain reporter. I'm glad that she will give S-man the benefit of the doubt.
Will she tell him this, though? What does Superman think about her? Does he have the trust for her, underneath?
Of course, this might be the reason Clark didn’t get much from him; it appears Superman isn’t too quick on the uptake.
Laughing out loud! Hilarious! Oh, Lois, if you only knew - he's OK on the uptake, he's just stunned at Tornado Lois.
Before he can finish the sentence, he cocks his head to the side, an intent look on his face. It gives me a strange sense of déjà vu, making my instincts tingle again...
Oh, Lois! It won't be too long before you figure it out! You just need some uninterrupted thinking time.
“Just keep them out of your closet,” I say, sliding the door shut.
Why do I suspect that Lois is going to find the Suits?
Again, another great part. As Elisabeth said in the post above, "Her ire, her attraction, his responses - all there." Thoroughly enjoyable. Please, please post more soon - I can't wait!
