Now, the revelation was one of the requirements for the fic -- I actually had some other ideas without doing the revelation.

Oh, alt-Clark, alt-Clark, alt-Clark, haven't you learned yet not to use that phrase?

Let's hope that while he is in "our" world, a Nightfall equivalent isn't heading toward *his* world!

This brings to my mind some lines from Robert Burns' To a Louse:
Alt-Clark is (sort of) being given that gift. "Sort of" since, as he recognizes, the opinions are of "our" Clark.

I love your entire revelation scene. It rings true.

Have I mentioned lately how much I am enjoying this story? I don't see how it can be wrapped up in only one more part, but I have every confidence that you'll manage it.

Joy,

Wow - what a revelation! Guess Alt-Clark realized there was no other way to handle it. What a fun set up!

I love this:

That Lois' belief in Superman is such an important part in developing Clark's confidence.

Joan

Wildest revelation yet! Loved it! Very creative. I am looking forward to more. Laura

I think you handled the revelation well and I don't think was any other valid explanation that alt-Clark could have used.

I also don't think you can wrap this up in one part - mostly because it will be sad to see this end - but I am sure that you will do it just as excellently as the rest of the story

Looking forward to the next part

There have been a lot of revelation stories in this fandom over the last 16+ years ... and I think it's safe to say that no one has done it like this before!

Definitely wasn't expecting Alt-Clark to out our Clark like that, but hopefully since it was just to Lois, it will simply speed up their relationship. But have Alt Clark's powers really returned enough for him to fly into space and stop Nightfall? I guess if he's down the rabbit hole of his mind, his subconscious could create any scenario it needs to to teach the needed lesson. I'm looking forward to seeing the explanation in the final chapter to put it all together.

(Though I have to admit, I feel a little sorry for Clark -- if remembering being Superman is what jogged his memory in the first place, how is he going to ever get over his amnesia if he thinks Superman is someone else? )

Kathy

This is a very interesting and very different fic. It's sad, too. There is no way that alt-Clark can find his Lois, is there?

But like Lynn said, it was very nice for Clark to ask people in this Metropolis how they feel about Superman, because all the praise they gave their hero in blue can give alt-Clark more confidence in his own super-self. And it was really fascinating to see the interaction between the two Clarks/(not so) Supermen.

So alt-Clark outed Superman? Well, that was some sort of poetic justice, I suppose, given what happened to alt-Clark himself!

Ann

This is a fun, different take on both alt-Clark and Nightfall. I read the first past last night and just finished 2 & 3.

So, as of the revelation, neither of these is the main-line Clark anymore. I guess I'd call them alt-Clark (the main character in this fic) and Clark-alt (the Clark that currently has amnesia.)

So is something bad going to happen to Clark-alt?
Is alt-Clark going to have to go back to his world and miss Lois even more than before?
I know, alt-Clark will get Lois and Mayson will show up for Clark-alt.

Bob

So, will they find an amnesiac Superman?

So, how did his energy drain?



Michael

I am enjoying your story.

But I do question how Lois and 2 Clarks can have their very private conversation and revelation in the room where Clark was, with the one-way mirror/window where they were watching him before they went in the room.
Did I miss something? Or do they need to go to a more secure room?

Can't wait to see how you wrap this up!!

Wow, this is a really meaty fic!

I can't wait for more.

So glad you guys are liking this fic! Makes me feel WAFFs inside!

I love 'Rabbie' Burns, as the Scots call him -- and yes, this is part of the moral of the fic.

Thanks -- It was tricky, since I was only writing from one POV!

scifiJoan
Indeed-- that's one thing that makes the LnC relationship so special--Lois builds up her hero without even realizing it!


Laurach
Thanks! It was a little wild, but I'm glad you liked it!


DW
Aw, I'm glad you don't want to see it end! And thanks for the vote of confidence! Hope you like the finale

KathyB
I'm flattered! I hoped it was a unique take and I'm glad you think it is.


LOL I hadn't thought of that!


TOC
Yes, in a way it is poetic justice -- but how I was looking at it was this: Alt-Clark met Lois when she was completely in love with Clark and knew the secret. He knows their future, and believes their love is strong enough to survive an early reveal, if you will.


Bobbart
No, I don't have anything nearly that devious in mind!
