Since I adjusted the parts during the posting schedule and increased the parts to 15, I decided to post both remaining parts together.
To all those that commented on the parts as they went up, thank you, thank you. I take your comments very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to improve the story as we go along. For those that read, thanks for sticking with me until the end.
My special thanks go to KathyB and Sue S. for their counsel and suggestions over the years. They could attest to how this story changed from the first draft. Alt-Lois and Alt-Clark were in-character due to their guidance and advice. If you understood the rules around Alt-Lois's ability, then you can thank KathyB.
I'd love to hear what you thought of these last two parts, especially the resolution to the a-plot. Are there questions that I didn't answer for you?
Thanks!
