I'm hooked. Poor Lane: Having a new power kicking in, being suspended as a result (because he sure can't tell the teacher, "But I only looked at it and it caught fire"), and then finding out his parents are -- elsewhere -- for who knows how long. I hope that at least this wasn't the first power to manifest itself, and that he knows that he comes by these abilities honestly.
I wonder whether Clark will tell his Lois all, or whether he'll just let her think that her counterpart had had an affair with Superman (or, at best, had had sex with him before she married Clark). Assuming she doesn't figure things out on her own, those seem to me to be the only real options open to Clark. (I can't see him convincing here that their counterparts had an "open marriage" arrangement, or anything even kinkier.) None of those options would be the least bit appealing to him.
I'm intrigued. Do you have a posting schedule in mind?
Joy,
Lynn
