"Kent," Lex Luthor bellowed, as he stuck his head up from the tank's innards. "There's something we need to talk about!"

Before Clark could answer, Lois Lane, wearing spandex, and Perry White, clad in a sweat shirt, sweat pants, sneakers and a very 80s headband, clambered over the rubble left by Lex's M1 Abrams.

"Clark, goddammit," Lois and Perry said in unison. "We need to talk."

Clark opened his mouth, only to have it fall completely open when Jimmy Olson and Julio, the cute busboy from Mo's, stepped out of the men's steam room, wearing only towels.

"Awww right!" Jimmy yelped. "The gang's all here!"

Noah just gawped.

"What have you done with Superman?" Lex, Lois, Perry, Jimmy, and Julio all said at the same time.

Clark gulped.

"Babe, why the hell are they asking YOU?" Noah asked.

Clark held up his finger in a just a moment gesture, then bounded over to Lex's M1. Casually, he grasped the barrel of the tank's 105mm gun with one hand -- and bent it into a pretzel.

The room erupted, Lex's foghorn voice cutting out all the rest.

"I knew it," he yelled. "Knew it, knew it, knew it!"

Lois threw at brick at Lex's bullet dome head but Clark, faster than a speeding brick, snagged it and casually ground it to dust.

"Knew what, Mr. Alopecia?" Lois demanded.

"Knew what?" Perry echoed.

"He's right, I'm sure," Jimmy chimed in.

Judging by the way Julio's eyes were bulging out, it seemed clear he was incapable of speech.

"Damn, babe," Noah said, "I knew you were strong but I didn't think..."

Clark interrupted.

"Noah, come here fast," Clark said.

In an eye blink Noah was standing with him on the tank.

"Whoaaa," they all said, everyone but Clark.

Clark pointed to the gun barrel, armored with a composite, depleted-uranium material.

"Unbend it," he told Noah.

Noah looked at Clark in disbelief but gave it a try. In no time the barrel was straight again, albeit rather lumpy.

"Holy shit," Lex said. "Two of you!"

Perry was trying to catch up.

"So are you trying to say that..."

Jimmy chimed in.

"Mr. White, meet Superman, also known as Clark Kent."

Lois fainted. Fortunately, Julio was standing nearby and caught her in mid-swoon. Of course, that dislodged his towel.

"Shit, boy," Clark said. "That's one helluva piece of meat!"

Jimmy beamed.

"You got that right," Jimmy said. "And he knows how to use it."

Perry looked around.

"Christ, it's a fucking fairy convention here," he exclaimed, then added. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

When Lois fell, Lex leaped from the tank. Gently, he took her in his arms and cradled her while she came to.

"Uh, oh, wha..." she sounded woozy. "Lex, is that you?"

Lex let out a strangled sob.

"Oh, Lois," he said. "You gave me such a fright."

Clark spared his big lover a glance. The expression on Noah's face, was, well, indescribable.

"OK," Clark said. "If the dramatics are over, I will tell you the story."

They turned as one as the giant man sat on the front of the tank, one hand resting on his tremendous quad, the other on Noah's massive shoulder.

He told them the story of Superman, from his birth on Krypton, his arrival as an infant on Earth, his childhood with John and Martha Kent, his public infatuation with Lana Lang and then Lois, his secret (even to himself) crush on Tom Welling.

"And you know the rest," Clark finished. "Noah came into my life and..."

Lex interrupted at that point.

"You lost your powers," he declared. "Or at least pretended to. Or lost them and then..."

Lois interrupted Lex.

"Regained them?" she asked. "But I don't understand, Clark. You and Superman look nothing alike!"

Clark's mouth twitched.

"Uh, Jimmy," he said. "You know where to find it, right?"

Jimmy smirked.

"I took the liberty, Clark," Jimmy said. "I have it right here."

He handed Clark the blue, red and yellow outfit and the matching red cape.

"I'm not sure it will fit," Clark said. "I'm more than twice the size I was previously."

But it did fit, it fit just fine.

"Oh," Lois said. "It is you. You don't look anything like Clark."

Clark peeled out of it and threw it to Noah.

"Here, Big Man, you try it on."

Eyes wide, as if he were approaching some sacred mystery, Noah took the suit in his hands...only to have it snatched away by Lex, who quickly stripped and put it on.

"Now I'm Superman!" he bellowed. "UP, up, and away!"

Lex jumped from the tank -- and promptly crashed to ground.

"How interesting," White said. "He looks just like Superman. But he's still the same size as Lex."

Julio observed:

"No super powers either!"

Comprehension flashed across Jimmy's face.

"D'oh," he said. "Why didn't I think of that? It's the suit. It makes you see what you think Superman ought to look like, right?"

Clark patted his young friend on the shoulder.

"Right again, Jimmy."

Lois shook her head.

"I still don't understand," she complained.

"Neither do I," Noah added.

Clark told them about the purple kryptonite.

"At first," he said, "I thought it was like gold kryptonite, which permanently takes your powers away."

Noah frowned; it certainly hadn't done anything to his powers!

"But I was wrong about that," Clark continued. "It does something entirely different."

They looked at him.

"Well?"

"Well?"

"Well?"

Clark wrapped Noah in his gigantic arms; their boners were plain for all to see. Perry, Lois and Lex looked away; Jimmy and Julio tried not to drool.

"Purple kryptonite apparently gives what you've always wanted," Clark said. "How, I don't know. But in retrospect it's clear because what I always wanted..."

Well, there were a few things, he continued:

* To be fully human;

* To lead an open, honest life, with no secret identity;

* To have a lover who could be his equal in every measure.

"You're a wonderful woman, Lois," Clark said. "I love you a lot. But you know we could never have had a physical relationship when I was Superman, right?"

Lois nodded. She'd read Larry Niven's speculative thesis.

"But I thought..."

"You are my girlfriend," Clark added. "In the best sense of the word."

Lois rolled her eyes.

"Great! I'm a fag hag!" she turned and buried her face in Lex's broad shoulders.

"But what about me?" Noah said.

Clark kissed him.

"You are what I always wanted," Clark said. "A man who could be my equal."

Julio raised his hand, as if he were in class.

"But what about the fully human part?"

Clark winked at him.

"It's true," Clark said. "I am truly human now. I eat and I drink, I crap and I piss. I build muscle and I grow."

Lex cleared his throat.

"And the super powers?"

Clark jumped to the floor. He bent down and put his big thick hand under the tread of the Abrams. Gently, easily, he lifted the tank into the air, then shifted all its weight to one hand, and then to one finger.

"The M1," Jimmy pointed out, helpfully. "Is the heaviest tank in service, weighing in at right around 68 short tons."

Julio added.

"That's 136,000 lbs."

Lex's eyes bulged out.

"They weren't gone," Clark said. "Just on hold. Babe, hold this for me...?"

He tossed the tank to Noah, who caught it like it was an air-filled beach ball.

"But how...?"

Clark smiled.

"We don't need to go into that here," he pointed out. "Remember what we did after I benched 1050 lbs. for the first time?"

Noah blushed.

"I'm unlikely to ever forget that day!"

Jimmy and Julio giggled.

Perry lit his nasty cigar.

Lois was feeling up Lex's well-developed pecs.

"It's a helluva world," Perry allowed.

"You guys rock," Jimmy and Julio said.

"Why, Lex, is that a rocket in your pocket or are you happy to see me," Lois cooed.

"Now what?" Lex asked.

What indeed?

Another great series coming to a end...

Damn, DC should bring purple kryptonite into continuity. It's not like they haven't already introduced pink kryptonite*.

* Unfortunately this happened in a now-extinguished alternate universe

...and the dialog is grrr-eat!


Good character development through dialog, especially Lois and Perry

" Perry looked around.

"Christ, it's a fucking fairy convention here," he exclaimed, then added. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

When Lois fell, Lex leaped from the tank. Gently, he took her in his arms and cradled her while she came to.

"Uh, oh, wha..." she sounded woozy. "Lex, is that you?"


"You're a wonderful woman, Lois," Clark said. "I love you a lot. But you know we could never have had a physical relationship when I was Superman, right?"
