I think it was great! I wondered for a moment if you were going to tie in the cheerleader from Heros meets Superman. It's a very sweet, and very touching for Clark/Superman to know how he affected a young person, and how she remembers him.

Great job Shayne!

Very nice. It just goes to show that what does around does come around. The only difference is usually we don't see the circle being completed so directly!

This was a perfect end to a nice day.

Quite lovely, as the others have mentioned.

But my favorite part? "Luckily I get to be both." The best! laugh

I had similar thoughts. Superman 'saved the' infant 'cheerleader' and he 'saved the world' the loss of Superman.

Great story.

Nice job Shayne, I like it! Laura

This story was inspired by a true story I read today. A young man saved a woman's life. Six years before he'd been hit in the chest while playing baseball and had gone into cardiac arrest. A nurse in the audience saved his life. The woman he saved was the same nurse who had saved his life all those years before. Sometimes what goes around literally comes around.

That's two of you beaten me to that one. Very nice story, though I feel sorry for the character - that sort of injury is pretty nasty.

Very nice story. Thanks for sharing. And I agree with Classicalla, the last sentence was absolutely the best! thumbsup

Edit:

Uhh, sorry, it was really Ultragirl. blush
I just looked at the avatar. First think, then write, bakasi...

Well, okay, I haven't commented yet.... But, yeah, the last line was the best... (That only proves my recent idea that we associate people with their avatars... )

And I bet he took her flying.

Great story, Shayne. Loved it!!

I was totally getting Heroes flashes myself, but this really was a beautiful and touching piece.
Posted By: Karen Re: Comments: Hero - 12/24/06 06:16 AM
I was also thinking Heroes. But I think I like your inspiration better, Shayne. I love the story, and thank you for telling us the inspiration behind it!

It was nice to see how Clark's actions came back many years later. Usually when you say "What goes around, comes around," we think of someone's bad behavior coming back to haunt them much later. This time it was a good deed that came back.

Nice one, Shayne.

Well done!! smile

Wonderful story!

I strongly believe in 'what goes around, comes around', whether it's bad or good.

Ditto all the above, Shayne. Well done. Nice to see some spinoff from his good deeds.
