This is a sequel to Love and Secrets, which I posted last year. I've been mulling this one over for a while now, and I finally came up with an ending I'm satisfied with.
Don't take the epilogue seriously, but I just couldn't resist, given the setup.
"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
