I could also see how this incident with the drowning victim would cause Clark to quickly take off to avoid unwanted discussions, and how that would begin a pattern that was established in the show of Clark bouncing around the world, then taking off when he did something that aroused suspicion.

Thanks for the double post this week! smile Definitely looking forward for more. thumbsup

Thanks for continuing to read! I liked writing Clark as a bit more insecure than on the show. But considering his age, I liked how it worked. That post college, pre-job era is terrifying!

I liked the water rescue. It just felt fun to write for Clark - giving him a taste of what he could potentially do, realizing how much he just exposed himself.
