Author's note: Just for reference, this is set midway through season two. ---------- Because he was intelligent. Because he was kind. Because he was thoughtful. Because he just made sense. These were only a handful of the reasons Lois Lane chose Clark Kent. Clark -- her partner, her best friend. Not the superhero in blue spandex and a red cape. Not the man who could fly her to Paris in four minutes. No. She chose Clark. Dependable, ordinary, near-sighted Clark. Because she loved him. His smile. His wit. His character. Even his unfortunate taste in neckwear. She loved Clark. The realization still left her a little weak in the knees. If only she could work up the courage to tell him. He'd won, even if he didn't know it yet. Clark Kent had beaten Superman.
