You can't hear it, but my hands are clapping and applauding!!
Nice ending - having Brian go live with the Kents, makes me wish *I* could go live on the farm with Martha and Jonathan.
You *can* write a sequel....
We'd like to know how Brian is doing, down the road.

The clone was dead, he thought with an inner smile. Long live Brian Kent Fabulous story. Absolutely loved it!   
If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

Ah, Nan, that's perfect. The paper's crisis is solved, Perry's (midlife) crisis is over, and Luthor is still dead!  I just loved all the scenes with Brian, btw. He's a cute kid And Martha's got him well in hand already <g> I wouldn't mind a sequel in this universe, Nan... but then I'd also be pleased with pretty much anything else you choose to write, so you can't go by me!

Wonderful, wonderful! Great ending..Brian is so lucky to have Jonathan and Martha. And I bet Martha is thrilled to have another son in the house! ~Liz
Lois: Can I go?
Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?
Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

I like Brian!  ) Not many loose ties here... a girlfriend for Brian?  When he's a bit mature of course, now is like a kid Jose

A girlfriend for Brian, when he's a little older... Clois! They'd be a match made in... well, a laboratory <G> But just think what all they'd have in common... PJ

This is a great story.  Yet, I liked to know more about Lois and Clark's relationship.

Wonderful, Nan! I loved this story from the beginning (sorry if I haven't commented every part! ); it's awesome how you can write about unreal situations (fliyng men, clones, etc..) with so much realism! Pam said: I wouldn't mind a sequel in this universe, Nan... but then I'd also be pleased with pretty much anything else you choose to write This is exactly my thought! Thank you for a fantastic ride with your characters! Simona

Hi, Great story!  The Brian character took a life of its own. It’s beautiful!

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

Great story! Though there was one moment when I thought my heart would stop. See, I don't read these on screen, I print them off. So, I was selecting the text portion of the post to print and so got all the way to the end. The first thing I read was. The clone was dead,  he thought with an inner smile. I swear, in the time it took me to get to the last sentence, I had already thought I was reading Lex's inner thoughts as he was being rebuild in a lab somewhere.  I was so thankful that it was Clark's thoughts and not Lex's... James

Wow. I just sat down and read the whole story, to the dismay of the pile of Christmas cards next to me, but I couldn't wait any longer. I love how you resolved this, especially with Brian staying alive and going to live with the Kents. The way he mentioned not liking the big city makes me think he's going to love the farm, and probably stay with it. But that's just me thinking. It's really too bad that Lex became road pizza, but it's for the best. I absolutely loved this story. I've still got a big grin on my face after reading the ending. Wonderful! There's a lot more I could say, but I'll just instead. (can I make it go faster? Cause it deserves long, fast clapping.)

Thank you to everyone who commented and offered suggestions and corrections. It helps motivate when the muse gets bored or balky, and to me you all make excellent beta-readers, too.
