This story is only short, 4 chapters at the absolute maximum (though 3 is more likely).

Considering how quickly the city turned on Superman, there is a huge decision to be made.

Let's hope it is the right one.

Ah, excellent question. Seems like the entire city turning on Superman so quickly would be cause for him to pack and run. That was certainly how he lived his life before Metropolis - as soon as someone got a hint of his abilities, he'd take off. The motivation here is different, but the result could very well be the same. How important is the Daily Planet or his budding relationship with Lois at this point in time that would compel him to stay? He has had jobs and relationships before, but that never stopped him from moving in the middle of the night before. Interesting idea for a fic!

Oh, no. Poor Clark. It's not fun being rejected by a populace you thought were your friends. At least Lois hadn't turned on him. /Hugs to Clark/

But if Superman doesn't return, doesn't that mean that Lex wins? How will Lois find Superman if he's not showing his face anymore? Will he not even don his Suit if there's a major natural disaster elsewhere? What can Lois change Superman's mind? Will she put herself in danger to bring him back? Let's hope she discusses her plan with Clark first. Yeah. Right.

I like this premise. I hadn't considered that Superman might leave after he was welcomed back, but Clark has a point. Everyone turned on him too quickly. Superman is so overpowered that he can't operate effectively as a superhero without overwhelming public support. On top of that, Clark's feelings have been deeply hurt. Everyone hates to be scorned for being different and to feel isolated and alone. Knowing for sure that there is no one on Earth that is remotely like you would compound that immeasurably.
