Fantastic story. I did not see that ending at all. I thought you would be leading us into a sequel not into utopia. Very well written and characterized. Thanks for writing.
Thank you! Glad I could pull off a little surprise there. It just felt right to give a throw over to the Assassin's Creed franchise with Abstergo/ The Animus since it so highly influenced the story idea to begin with. And it just felt right - a tortured soul like this particular Clark would take a lifetime to heal, if ever, and would have a hard time, I think, in becoming a Superman-like entity.
I do kind of wish the muse had left it open for a sequel - this was one of those stories where it was very hard to leave that universe behind!
