Lois & Clark Forums Forums Thread Like Summary - FDK: Break

Summary: A different ending to the House of Luthor. Superman manages to break the cage when he rams it, resulting in a messier escape. A detailed 'what-if'. Warning: descriptive injuries and wound treatment.
Again, a special thanks to Morgana, Chereche, and Mary who helped me flesh out plot holes and improve the story overall ^_^. And thanks to those on FOLC's Skype group who listened to me ramble and helped me clarify ideas.

Like Toomi8, I always thought Clark recovered from the cage awfully quick and I have often wondered what would have happened if Luthor hadn't been stupid enough to leave the keys within view, causing Clark to have to resort to more drastic measures.
Well, this explores that a bit.

Anyway, since I'm seeing most people utilize one thread for comments, I'll do the same.

Part 1 is here: Escape

Wow, I didn't realize I never responded to people's reviews for this fic!! Granted, looking at the dates, it makes sense. We had been out on vacation and then soon after we got back, school started and then my youngest was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma (he's thankfully in remission now), so..... Now that life has calmed and this has come to my attention, I'll reply to them now

Queen of the Capes -- I have a bare bones bunny in my brain for a sequel. Maybe one day.

gr8shadesofElvis -- Glad this fic was able to cheer you up. I hope things have improved for you.

cuidadora -- I felt the reality would be pretty jarring for her and that reaction was the only one that made sense to me. Happy it worked

LoveIsForever -- Glad you enjoyed it!

Songbird -- Clark made it super easy for me to write ^_^

Morgana -- Endings are usually hard for me to write. I don't recall this ending being one of them.

SupesFan -- I need to figure out the substance of any sequel. Currently, it's a little thin, but who knows

bakasi -- Wow, many people wanting a sequel to this.... You guys certainly come armed with carrots.

Penny_Lane -- I really love writing everyday characters into the story and have them play a part with Superman/Clark. I suppose it's a self-indulgent pseudo self-insert

Ray -- I did a great deal of research on the medical stuff and admittedly have always been more inclined to learn medical stuff because I really like just knowing. One never knows when you might need to know.
I really love Perry's character. He has so much depth that I feel is rarely fully utilized. I'm glad I did at least some degree of justice for him. And imagining Perry digging through Clark's apartment to find Superman's suit is a funny picture.... I might one day have to do something like that.
Henderson is a smart guy....
And gah! That taking back his declaration was immensely frustrating! Lunkhead.

Toomi8 -- Well, considering I took 2 years to reply, I think you're fine....

PuffyTiger -- Superman needing help by normal people is a guilty pleasure of mine. Glad it seems to be one of yours too?

LauraHex -- Well, if you had found it sooner it appears I never would have replied to the reviews, so in that case it was a good thing


Thank you EVERYONE for reading and reviewing! ^_^ I love this group.
