Lois Lane, Superman's Wife in "Stand Back, I've Got This One!"

[uadlika.insanejournal.com]

One of my OTPs in ANY fandom is Lois and Clark. It's not even a preference, it's a Fact that they belong together. I know Lois has had a varied history, but I love her when she is shown as smart, sassy, and sexy, which is why I loved Justice League Classified #10, because it contains all three! It also shows why Lois and Clark work together so well. 6 and 1/3 pages behind cut.

To bring you up to plot: someone commits suicide by jumping off a building. He wants to be the one suicide that Superman doesn't catch. He succeeds.



Yeah I don't know why she would wear that to work.





I believe in that case, Lois would be Batman.



Do you ever think that the Lane-Kent's sex life must be reaaaaalllly kinky? The man flies around in a spandex suit after all.







And she does figure out it out, because she is the Goddamn Lois Lane. Sadly there are no cycling shorts to be seen in the rest of the story arc.

Now hopefully I didn't screw up the cut. Enjoy!

I think it works for Clark as long as it's part of the conversation with Lois - it's not at all uncommon to adapt a conversational partner's speech patterns, particularly given these two are married and he'd have had a lot of experience with her teasing, to the point where even he's eventually going to start playing along. Perry's way wrong, of course, but while I haven't read the trade in a while, I don't recall the League being noticeably off-voice, so I'm willing to call that a single character issue rather than a general tonal one.

It's funny, I like Ellis best when he's not being Ellis. Not that I have anything in particular against his normal style, but it just seems like when he pushes himself to do something different, he, I dunno, rises to the challenge or something and it usually ends up better than either his own average work or the average work of writers more comfortable with the style he's stretching himself for. If that makes sense.
