I like this story! I almost wish this was the way the series had gone. Then Lex would have lived longer and been a coherent villain instead of a raving lunatic clone, and Clark and Lois would have danced around their relationship without the invisible third party (Superman).
But this? This is absolutely priceless!
Honestly, Clark, it’s a darn good thing you are invulnerable, as much time as you’ve spent shooting yourself in the foot.
Oh, how I wish I'd written that! It's so Martha, and it's so true! You really have an excellent feel for the characters and their interactions. Like the previous posters, I want to read more sooner than later.
But for a story this good, I'm willing to wait. Quality is to be preferred over quantity when a choice for one or the other must be made.
