Yay! Another part!
It was Kal-El, and he was in a state of complete undress.
Hubba hubba! (Oh wait. This is a serious situation.
)
No matter how benign the two Clarks were, LL always feared reprisal for things that would have infuriated her one-time captor.
This is bad. It will certainly put a big strain on the relationship between LL and the true Kal-El. We know they should be soulmates - will that be impossible, as LL has been so damaged by Clone-El?
A kind of warped version of sleeping beauty. She flushed at that. She was not the princess to wake him up. She was the evil witch, if anything.
Hee hee hee! In some ways, a very apt comparison.
She often times found herself with a Kryptonian physician, trying not to give into the panic she felt at being in Kal-El's presence. After all, hadn't she watched him sleeping so many times after his assault on her? No – not his assault. The other's. And yet, he was identical to that man.
I think that LL will have more trouble getting over this than Lois did in
"Long Strange Trip" . And in that story it took Lois well over a year to come to some sort of healing, which even now, isn't complete.
This was Kal-El. He wasn't human like the Clarks.
Huge, huge point! The Clarks were brought up by humans - their nature is Kryptonian but their nurture is human. What difference will the Kryptonian upbringing make with Kal-El? I look forward to seeing you explore this.
