How do you do it Nan?

A great start to what is already a very interesting story..and we get Bill!!

~Liz

Great Nan, but now they are going to have to tell Henderson.

That's so much in character for them !!!

Ingra

It should prove interesting when Henderson begins to manifest his powers that he'll remember that he was standing by Lois and CLARK (not Superman) when the lightning struck.

Will he make the connection? Hmmmmmmm?

Tank (who figures that Nan should post both this and Hottest Team in Town)

Yay, more Nan stories! This one's off to a smashing start, too.

Y'know, the actor who played Henderson in first season should be proud -- he's defined the role so well that his character shows up all the time.

Anyway, it's interesting to watch Lois interact with Superman through a third party's eyes. And I wonder, will Henderson realize what's happened before or after the return of UltraWoman? <g>

Write more, post more. Supercop, HTiT, whatever

PJ

definitely an interesting start, nan. i like the style, and i like the fact that we're apparantly following henderson.

i'm a bit confused about this planter thing, though. you said it was concrete, right? concrete is not exactly known for its high conductivity. so, will the powers really be transferred? and just where did that lightning come from? was there some person or force somehow guiding it, or did it just happen to strike a concrete planter despite the nearby presence of a much taller building (quite possibly with a lightning rod)?

well, whatever the case with those little details, i'm definitely interested to see what happens next.

What a fantastic premise, Nan! I adore Bill Henderson, always have, so I can't wait to see what you do with a superpowered Henderson. I've always liked the way you write Henderson anyway. And, yes, I can see Clark having to tell him once they work out what's happened.

/me sits back to enjoy this one.

Just one minor nitpick: while I liked seeing Lois compliment Bill on his performance on the witness stand, if she's a witness herself she couldn't have been there. She'd have been kept out of the courtroom until it was her turn to give evidence.

More soon, I hope!!


Wendy

Oops, you're right, Wendy. I'd forgotten that. Never mind, it's a minor point that I'll fix later.

Paul, it's a legitimate question about the planter, but I have an answer for you. Just have patience until the next part.

Nan

I knew what you were going to do to Bill as soon as I read his name. That was the easy part. How to get all the players in the right place at the right time was a stroke of genius!

I am hoping that Ultra Woman is involved in this one too.

Bill is such a great character and you use him so well.

James

OOOh!! More, Nan!!

Jose

Hi,

Interesting start.

They don't want Lois to give her testimony.

More soon, please

MAF

Nan

A great start!

I can't wait to see where this is headed.

Tricia

So intriguing! Please post more quickly!

oooooohhhhhh,

What a setup, what a setup, I think I see where this is going.. but I can't wait to see what you give us next!

(waiting impatiently,)

Nan,
wonderful beginning
ditto others
more

A stand-alone Nan fic! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I'm so far behind in my reading that's it's a pleasure to actually be able to read a story of yours when it hits the mbs!

This looks like a wonderfully funny premise and I'm really looking forward to where you plan to take this. Great characterization all round! Using Bill (everyone loves Bill ) as an outside POV for LnC interaction is inspired. I loved his stunned reaction to the mellowing of Mad Dog Lane and his amusement at the way Lois was more irritated by her ruined clothing than an attempted assassination.

One little detail:

Surely this was forty-five minutes after that sonic boom, if not more? The word "just" doesn't seem appropriate here.

Sooo, when will our cop turn super? How will this impact on his very sensibly considered tribute to Supes? How will he react at the realization that CK=S?

Looking forward to MORE!

Hazel

Nan,

When I spotted that you had a new story, I had to come and have a peek, tho, I should probably have waited til there was more of it!

It's not often that we see a Henderson story, so I can't wait to see what you've got planned, especially since it doesn't seem like there's a bad guy involved. (Watch this, I'm going to be so wrong! )

I loved this line -

Ok, as the chapter progresses, I can see more and more info about the Quigley case, I'm guessing this'll be the Bad Guy I thought was going to be absent...

I love how the relationship is portrayed between Lois and Henderson.

This next bit had me laughing!

The reporter that came to the courtroom with Lois...

You *have* to feel sorry for the poor guy. I can only imagine what Lois put him through, or, what he's imaginging Lois will do to him if he messes up!

I loved Henderson's reaction when Lois admited that Clark was right!

Then this bit

It could only happen to Lois Lane!

However, I have my suspicions about what's going to happen next! I can't wait to see if I'm right. I hope your muse decides to be nice to us and spends it's time equaly between this and Hottest Team In Town.
