Lois: He died trying to protect me. In one…lousy second…I lost my partner…and my best friend. He died without ever knowing. I never told him.
“Someday I’ll give you the inside story!”
Action Comics #70/#77
Don’t forget to purchase a digital copy of the next chapter in Smallville: Season 11’s first arc, “Guardian,” available today at ComiXology and hopefully the DC app (there was some trouble with it last time). It’s only $.99 and buying a copy means letting DC Comics know that you support Lois and Clark.

Clark. Look, don’t tell me I’ll meet somebody. You’re kinda… a tough act to follow, you know?
Batman #611
When I went away last fall, I… Lois, I felt so lost. When I came back to the bullpen… you were there waiting for me. You jumped out of your seat, you threw your arms around me, and the way that your eyes sparkled when you smiled, I just… I knew. I just knew that you were the one that I’ve always needed. And I needed you to know that.
![As SMALLVILLE came to an end, viewers got to watch Clark’s dreams literally come true. In Season 9’s Salvation, Clark had a vivid dream filled with bits and pieces of his life up until that point. The costume he saw himself wearing while saving a crashing plane resembled the drawing from Warrior that Alec Abrams drew of him. The glasses on his desk recalled the glasses he put on for Lois in Idol to dissuade her from thinking he was the Blur. Jeff, the intern Lois kissed in Warrior, was there being her loyal assistant and Perry, who visited Smallville and formed a partnership with Lois in Hostage, was shown occupying The Daily Planet editor’s office. Finally, Dr. Fate’s declaration about Clark’s destiny and his hint that Lex would be alive were all things Clark learned in Absolute Justice, while Lex running for President mirrored events in Apocalypse. Consequently, the dream in Salvation wasn’t a prophetic vision. It was a vision of hope Clark’s subconscious conjured up for himself.
Speaking of conjurers, the last time Clark was asked to think about his dreams was in Warrior when Zatanna came causing mischief in an attempt to enlighten Clark about his deepest fantasies. Since a little hocus pocus and a heart to heart brought Clark to the realization that his “dream was [with] Lois,” it came as no surprise that Clark’s dream in Salvation featured Lois heavily. She was the dedicated reporter Clark saw her as throughout the ninth season and the wife Clark said she’d be in Persuasion when he promised they’d “be together always and forever.” When rising tensions with the Kandorians led Clark to sacrifice his life to protect his adopted home from Zod’s tyranny, and when darkness in the form of Darkseid crept into the world following Clark’s resurrection, that dream seemed all but shattered. Then Homecoming happened.
Clark’s visit to the future in Homecoming confirmed the potential reality of what he only imagined in Salvation. After sharing a passionate kiss with Lois, Clark tells Brainiac 5, “I always hoped my life would be like this. With Lois, with all of it.” Far from forcing Clark to follow a road map he’d rather not follow, seeing a future that was possible for him if he only shed the darkness of the past and embraced the life he had in the present confirmed Clark’s heart’s desire to have a life as a reporter and superhero and to share that life with no one other than Lois Lane. Thus being with Lois wasn’t a fate thrust upon him. It was a dream that went from a hope filled imagining, to a possible future, to reality. It’s such a classic fairytale ending that the following song from Disney’s Cinderella suits it perfectly:
A dream is a wish your heart makes When you’re fast asleep In dreams you lose your heartaches Whatever you wish for, you keep Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vkoddOOn1qgb3zso1_r2_500.jpg)

Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
