I like the fic but Clark's reaction seems so over the top.
I guess my problem is that my vision for Clark is such that I would see him reacting very differently than this. I wouldn't expect him to withdraw into himself the way he has done. My expectation would be that he would reach out and hold on more tightly to those that he knows do love and care for him.
Anyway, given the way he's reacting here, I love the fact that Lois is taking charge. I would expect no less from her.
