The man standing there pulled the trigger of his gun and Clark’s left side exploded into a mist of red blood before he slumped, unmoving, to the concrete at her feet.

Had to be a green-K bullet. He has his powers back now, so a normal bullet wouldn't hurt him. My question is whether the shooter will also take a shot at Lois because she's a witness. Seems to me a competent assassin would do exactly that.
Or, maybe here's where we get some super-intervention, another hero coming to Clark's rescue. A little ironic, given that he's just spent the evening telling Lois how much he owes her and how much she's given back to him, but still fitting. And now we have three more chapters of wondering whether Clark will survive this latest Luthor assault.
I nearly always post long chapters, so I only notice when they're really short. Good job, DC!
Thanks for reading! I promise, new chapter soon so you can see what happened to Clark! (He's very unhappy with me for the things I've done in this fic.)
