Sorry it's a bit short, but there wasn't a good place to break it further along without posting too much and eroding the precious buffer.

Yvonne,

This was a great part! I love how Clark thought he was getting better and obviously he could go to work and would be able to save an airplane. That is just so Clark. And hooray for CK going after Clark. It seems like he might decide to be Superman again! Oh and I loved how Clark rationalized that even if he and Lois could have their own kid, that wouldn't make them want Jon any less - but it would make CK more likely to think that he would be able to take Jon back!

I just love it when the rescuer needs rescuing like that. Artfully done! And CK now knows that he can do the Superman thing if he just doesn't think too much!!!

I'm a little troubled (not a lot just a smidge) by the risk of the whirlwind in the news room. Could the timeline be extended just one minute more to include a quick call to Lois to say "Step into the stairwell now!" That would make me feel better than simply relying on all other eyes being on the monitors...because such a whirlwind and sudden change would cause a distraction to the eye for anyone standing behind Lois.

Anyway, marvelous as usual! Keep going!

Best,
Sherry

Very nice. I can imagine Lois's face ( and Clark's too, for the matter) when they meet later.

Loved it.

WOW! Superbly written!

I'm looking forward to Lois's reaction.
Please post the next part soon.

Oh boy, trouble ahead <g> I can't believe Clark actually left to help as Superman, while leaving Jon behind. He really didn't think well about the consequenses of his actions. That will be a lovely fight with Lois.

It's also very good CK decided to help out again. Before you know it he really is back to his Superman activities. I like him better by the parts.

So bring on more!

Okay, I think I can summarise all thse wonderful comments like this: you approve of this latest development.

Alicia, you mentioned the notion that Jon is irreplaceable to L&C, but CK sees things differently. Well, you have my super-BR, Wendy, to thank for a lot of that. It's going to become a thornier issue as time goes on, too.

Sherry, good point about the whirlwind. Mind you, I suppose I was envisioning a fairly small-scale disturbance which wouldn't be so eye-catching, but I'll see if I can work something in to address your issue.

Metwin1, you'll find out very soon about Lois's reaction.

Maria, you ask why CK didn't hear the plane. Well, he's not exactly tuned into Superman-emergencies at the moment, is he? And he wasn't even in Metropolis when it happened. LOL! on the smelly baby!

Hi, Merry. Yup, I liked rescuing the rescuer, too.

Tricia (and Saskia), yes, you're right - Clark thought he'd only be gone a couple of minutes and that Jon would still be asleep. Not one of his best moments.

Right, off to post the next bit!
