Very nice.
Go CJ!
And how true - he's not half anything and Ultra Woman is his mother!!!! Absolutely true - if not biologically accurate.
Don't know that his parents will be ecstatic that Superboy or whoever made his appearance but he had to protect her - and by extension all of them.
More soon please, Nan!

 YAY! "Don't kid yourself, Mr. Church; I'm not half anything. Superman is my father and Ultra Woman is my mother. Kryptonians aren't human, in case you hadn't noticed." Very good, CJ! A fantastic debut!  Artemis

And guess who will get the exclusive...  I especially loved how CJ played with the way his statements will be perceived. Without ever saying so, he implied that Ultrawoman was Kryptonian. It's rather obvious he has been raised by her, even if he doesn't share her DNA.  But won't the gig be up as soon as Ally and Ben make their debut? After all, they are obviously not white, so they cannot be the children of Superman and Ultrawoman. Oh well, there's still time before that happens. (At least I hope so.) Keep it coming!

CJ totally rocks. And I did love the lie wrapped in truth... just be careful what you say, and let others fill in the blanks.
As for Ben & Ally wrecking the curve... well, I don't know that anyone's going to believe Superman fathered *all* of these future-supertypes... Linda, and Valerie, and Alex (okay, there's a strong resemblance there) and Marta, and probably a few others, when they're all about the same age. Maybe it'll be good protective coloration, so to speak, so when all of L&C's kids are flying around, people don't start thinking, wow, 7 kids... who do I know with 7 kids?
Anyway, this is great, gimme more!!

"I have a...."

Count me in as another fan of CJ! He clearly comes from his parents' school of ways to not tell the truth without lying. It's also very interesting how all the repercussions of his origins play into his life.
I loved this part...but it ended just as it was getting good! More soon please!

James, you are correct; I was forgetting how limited a man's role in reproduction can be (if they haven't any sense of responsibility). That would certainly be a reasonable explanation for Ally & Ben! The tabloids will have a field day... actually, if a bunch of them go public, I suspect people will figure out the timing and realize the NK's were involved. I guess Nan will have to keep writing so we can find out... <hint, hint> PJ who's in Nanfic withdrawal, which is not a pretty sight...
