Author's notes: This is not what I expected for my first
foray into Smallville, but Lois was extremely incessant
that her story be told before Lex's. Ah well, I'll make it
up to him later. g

What
by Corbeau Noir



Lois worried about her rookie partner more often than she
cared to admit even to herself. When she first met him
though, she hadn't liked him at all; he'd been so polite,
so correct, so...bland.

*Hi, I'm Clark Kent.*

She'd never before gone for the wholesome American boy-look,
and she certainly wasn't starting now. Who wanted a van
full of children and a white picket fence anyway? Lois much
preferred a steaming mug of coffee, black no sugar please,
and gleaming sky rises that broke through the clouds.

*Lois... I hate skyscrapers.*

But she was a reporter, 'a damn fine one' if she quoted
Perry, and it'd only took a misstep or two before those
vaunted reporter's instincts kicked in. Now she knew that
Kent was hiding more than just stunning hazel eyes behind
those coke-bottle glasses.

*Do you ever wonder how it feels to fly, Lois?*

But what? Oh, but what...?
