Ugh, this was flawless! Per usual
Well done, Vicki!
Your characterization of Jack was well-rounded and magnificent. I love the amount of attention to detail you have in here. That Jack noticed Clark was missing, that he noticed Perry not-so-subtly not-noticing, that he watched Lois' reaction as she searched out Clark... But even you adding in the details about Jack going to live with his aunt. I know he was written out a little hastily in the show, but I never even considered it being a protection for his reputation to leave Metropolis. Very clever!
And of course, I felt every ounce of Jack's worry and Clark's pain bleeding through the screen. I would love to see more stories including Jack in the future, whether in this same vein is up to you. But all in all, phenomenal job!
