Hurray for Lois taking charge! Clark can be such a pushover, can't he?
Especially alt-Clark, who learned meekness as a survival trait while he bounced round various foster homes.
One thing I have to tell you, Nan: I hadn't yet read your alt-story. After reading this sequel, I'm off to read it NOW.

EDIT: Read it, enjoyed it.
LOL at leaving Tempus stranded on a tropical island and being intelligent enough not to tell *anybody* about it. Two questions, Nan, that I seem to have missed: How did Tempus find them on the island? And why mention fleas, and not the lack of plumbing?
