Glad the part worked for you, Laura. Yep, Clark is scared and Lois is desperate. That's always good for a story!

On Clark - remember Lois told him she didn't love him romantically and then she went ahead and married Luthor. Clark has no reason to think Lois is feeling anything other than desperation to escape Luthor.

We definitely know something is keeping Clark weak.

Thanks for the 'keeps getting better' comment. Always encouraging to hear!

I have an approximate number of parts in mind, but as you said it's more interesting not knowing, I'll keep that info to myself!
The difference between this and TMTY is that here, I have a very obvious 'out'. Wells comes back - situation fixed!! We'll see.
Thanks for all the comments. Next part soon.
Corrina.
