Wow, two great stories updated within an hour... Anyway, this continues to intrigue, Nan. The action moves right along, the plot twists and turns, and we get a special Clark smile  PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Very nice, Nan.
Still not coherent enough to leave better feedback, but I can't wait for more!

Great chapter, Nan. To his surprise, his mother laughed. "Don't worry about it," she advised. "It's no worse than some of the things I've done while I was on a job. LOL, it's nice to see that Lois is still Lois and can laugh about some of the crazy things that have happened to her. The press hasn't given it much credibility, but the rumors are out there. And there's always the possibility that others besides Bureau 39 and the Luthors might be interested  The group that 'bought' the Cost Mart chain is apparently just another arm of Intergang, trying to regain lost ground." Just like a bad penny (or Lex Luthor), Intergang just keeps turning up. Alive.  "It may not work," Lois said, some of her doubts surfacing. "I'd hate it if I tried and couldn't do it."
"There isn't much that Mad Dog Lane can't do," Clark said with a slight grin. "Cooking excepted, of course." Loved the banter and I'm glad that Lois setting aside her nervousness to learn the telepathy. It sure will make parenting all those 1/2 Kryptonian kids a lot simpler.

I love it. This story is totally addictive.

Nice addition.
I loved it when Ally said, "I can FLY!" Priceless.

I love that CJ is on his parents' antics! It's great to see Lois and Clark being able to trust him with the responsibility that he can handle and including him in events that impact his life.
I'm glad Lois is finding a way not to be left out of all the Kryptonian stuff.
Loved the dialogue!

And you said yesterday that you didn't have enough to post  Guess you made the time to write more? Anyway, I loved Ally's reactions to the possibility of flight. I have to admit, that's always been my favorite ability, out of all of Superman's abilities, with being about to see through things and hear almost everything coming a close second. Can't wait for the next part That'll be posted tomorrow, right? Tara

It's interesting that Jersey didn't have an address for Morris Myers in those notes of his. I wonder why." Has Lois focused on a very important point? I'm betting he's dead and the kid is a prisoner somewhere.

Verrrry nice indeed. So you're bringing Intergang into this? Now if we just knew how Mrs. Meyers found her PI...

Great writing as always. I can't do much put agree with the prior posters... I love Ally's reaction ..
>"Fly?" Ally said, obviously astonished. "You mean I can *fly*?"<
And I think that Lois is on to something with the current whearabouts of Ben unknown. Marcus may be right, the step-dad may be dead and Ben has gone from the frying pan into the fire. I could see the father trying to "sell" his son's abilities and finding he hooked a much bigger fish than he expected. Poor Ben!
I am awaiting the next installment.. soon .. very soon, I hope.
