Just read the prologue, 1, and 2 tonight. This story is highly disturbing -- in what has happened to Clark, and in that this isn't something that can ever be "fixed", even with Lois's arrival -- yet just as highly compelling. I find myself nearly desperate for Lois to get rid of the three "assistants", especially Moyne, who likely is a Trask-duplicate who does very bad things when no one else is around.

It also occurred to me that this story is a flip of "Awaken My Heart", of what could have easily happened to Lois had Kal not had the power to protect her that he did. Horrible and heartbreaking and just awful. Yet I can't look away.

Please help him!
