Yvonne beat me to 'intriguing,' but that was my first thought as well.

I understand that the secret identity has been blown, and that Lois probably had something to do with it. I am seriously worried about the Kents. I'm *sincerely* hoping Lois' reaction to Clark's need to call his parents is only in response to her knowledge of the loss of his secret identity, and not her knowledge of the loss of his parents.

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for more backstory. What you've given us already promises to be a very riveting and emotional experience. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
