How Am I Feeling This Morning?

[kalalanekent]

Gutted. Still in pain from the knee and too torn up over all this DC bull. I feel the need to state my feelings in RV format.

SUPERMAN
Look, Lois, I…

LOIS
(brave smile)
Hey. No… regrets, you know? I mean I did it, didn’t I? I got the man I love to love me?

SUPERMAN
(very hard on him)
Yes.

LOIS
(false flipness)
So okay, then. Those people need you. I’d be buying my personal little rainbow at the cost of all those people calling, “Help! Come quick!” You think I don’t understand that? It’s the old eternal triangle, right? Except in my case I’ve got all of humanity in the next room.

SUPERMAN
We’ll see each other. All the time, like before. But it can’t be like…

LOIS kisses him passionately. He responds in spite of himself. They break. She looks up at him, trembling.

LOIS
Just don’t forget, that’s all. Hmmm? Don’t ever forget.

The two embrace for a long moment before we pan as he see Superman’s pained look and move down to Lois, who looks shattered, but tries to keep it in. After a long moment, she closed her eyes and just holds him tighter.

Who would have ever thought that the heartbreaking beauty of this scene would transition into reality?

*sighs deeply*

We'll never forget. How could we?

What did I miss now??? I've been plugged in to the Superman homepage but not much else.

Obviously they'd split Lois to be with WW (I can't imagine CLARK of all people being at all ok with cheating on anyone, lease of all Lois) but I think I agree that it is heart-rending and not a happy day for us Cloissers.
