A/N I was watching Lois and Clark today and came up with this idea. Some parts are from Smallville, both shows are close to my heart. Perry knows more then he lets on...
He had been in this business for many years, seen many reporters come and go, watched love grow and fall apart. He had seen times when the Planet would barely scrape by and others when they did so well, they nearly didn't have enough papers. He watched his two best reporters as they bantered back and forth, to anyone else it looked like arguing, he knew better though. When he had been working in the Cario office and offered Lois a job, she had taken it and been miserable. He had watched the joy and life slowly slip out of her, and suddenly she had left, choosing to return to Metropolis. To Clark, though she had denied it. He had returned when Tess Mercer had retired to work on her company, she had offered him a chance to be front and center, not a week later Superman had appeared. Rescuing Lois and after he left Clark rushed in to Lois's side. He had listened to her complaining all day long, seeing Clark's attentiveness. When he had ordered Clark to take her home, Lois had faltered and smiled thanking Clark. Seeing the way her smile made Clark's worry slightly lessen, He knew there was somthing between his reporters after all. Over the next few weeks, he had noticed that whenever Clark disappeared, Superman appeared. Seen how Lois and Clark got closer and suddenly she had been in love with Luthor. He had heard from Jimmy that Clark had admitted his feelings and she had turned him down. He had never seen Lois so unlike herself, Clark had asked for any assignment that would take him out of Metropolis, it had been hard for him to keep them apart. After Luthor was arrested and the wedding canceled, Lois had insinctively reached out to Clark. Clark had appeared from behind a pillar and taken her into his arms. Yes, he knew that Clark Kent and Lois Lane were good for each other, hopefully they would see it in time.
