A nice setup. I'm eagerly awaiting more.

I have only a rudimentary knowledge of the Xena show, basically knowing only that Xena runs around and Gabrielle is her sidekick. I hadn't known anything about Xena's motivations so thank you for including that information.

Clark without powers....this could be bad. Why no powers? Are they in different bodies? Does he really still have his powers, only they are suppressed for some reason?

This fic seems like it's going to be a "road trip", so it'll be interesting to see how our pairs of protagonists get to know each other, how they figure out each others' strengths and weaknesses, and what obstacles they will have to overcome before the end.
