Michael, I'm ambivalent here.

Clark is wallowing in typical teenage angst, and I'm quite surprised Jonathan didn't knock some sense into him. I hope that after a day or two of tragic moping around the house, the boy will come around. After all, carried to its logical conclusion, he ought to abandon Clark Kent entirely, shouldn't he? But then Superboy, or Superman, wouldn't be himself, either. I understand that Clark himself can't see that, but why doesn't Jon point out a few basic truths?

Lana... I don't know what to think of Lana. She seems more like the current re-retcon of Lana in the comics, which I despise. wink She's all set to be noble, she's willing to put up with Clark as is -- and he still walks away? Yep. Teenage angst. laugh Although I do very much doubt that her noble altruism would start smelling any later than Clark's anguished sacrifice...

Buncha teenagers, the lot of 'em. laugh Get us to Metropolis ASAP!

Lois: You know the deal.
Clark: Superman gets the guys in capes, Lois and Clark get the guys in suits.
