Corrina, after the last part, I couldn't help but wonder if the mother isn't C2/3's mother. At least, until I read the line about the husband. Unless it is completely unusual of Kryptonians to acknowledge the other sex unless it is absolutely necessary.
I'm with Ann on the deer imagery. But at least you won't let them circle each other for eons before they actually talk, right? Right? Oh wait, there's part 9 up so I can go check.
