Finally!!

This is so great. Love it!

Just one tiny thing... You haven't mentioned anyting about Clark having a beard... Does he have one? ...or, did Nor take out some kind of wierd pleasure of shaving him during those six weeks?

Keep writing.

Hi Rac,

Thank goodness Kal has been rescued. Thank you for that.

You know, I'd never thought about the beard thing.

I hope that Kal is awake and gets Lois' wedding ring back soon. I think he'll need the comfort that he gets from it. He has been through so much.

Looking forward to the next part.

Yours Jenni

I was so disappointed when this story went away for awhile. I'm so glad it's back! Despite my not being totally in love with the NK arc, you're doing a fabulous job with this. The only thing I'd like to see more is Lois as Ultrawoman, but I understand that there's only room for so much in any story.

But I'm not being critical, believe me! This is good stuff and I hope you keep it up. I really liked your description of Talan and her almost obsessive drive to rescue Clark. I wonder, is she going to suffer some mental repercussions from this? You've almost described her as being in love with Kal-El, and since she's now the keeper of the One Ring, will she be able to give it back to him, knowing that it represents his life on Earth with another woman?

Lots of dramatic potential left here, and I know you'll do a wonderful job mining it. I look forward eagerly to the next part.

Hi,

Great part. This talk more about Clark.


Why would she want to go with a stranger?


Who was the other man?


Did he leave "other man" behind and never even mention him to rescue?


The don't have plastic surgeon?

Will the yellow sun erase his scars?


Superman can't have scars!

Is time to get the Nor's family.

More ASAP, please.

Another powerful, installment, Rac. You're capturing so well the hell that millions of men have faced over way too many years when they leave home to fight wars. But here also its the so called secondary charcters that affect us - Zara and her poignant restraint as she *doesn't* greet Ching the way she wants to, and the incredible Talan.

But get Clark home safely to Lois and their child.

Thanks so much for your comments, everyone.

Mona and Jenni, I went back and added a word or two to my version to indicate that he does indeed have a beard.

Hi Terry. Thanks for your very insightful comments. I think that you'll be pleased to see more of Ultrawoman in future parts. The LOTR parallel with the ring is hard to avoid, but I don't think it'll end up being the weapon of the evil lord Sauron.

Maria, thanks for the comments, as always. The reference to 'the other man' was just a way to avoid repeating 'Clark' and 'Kal El' in that passage. There was no additional person. As for the number of people in the rescue, my thinking is that there is so much ground to cover and so many leads to look into, that the forces probably break up into very small groups to search and then if they find something, call for more help. In this case, there wasn't time to call for additional soldiers before getting Clark out. That's why only two went in after him.

Thanks for your comments, Carol. I have been hoping throughout this to capture the idea that wars, even just ones, are awful things. They put good people in terrible situations. I'm very glad taht that is coming across and that the secondary characters are coming off as sympathetic and interesting.

I will be posting more soon everyone. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!
