I read this last night but haven't had a chance to comment until now
Hmm... cultured female voice... I'd suspect Arianna Carlin, but we've already had Arianna in this series, and I don't know how she'd know about the half-kryptonian kids... I'm looking forward to meeting whoever it is.
Henderson totally rocks. Especially liked his brief reference to "gifted" children, and how Martha realized immediately what he meant. And wouldn't it get complicated for everyone to remember who knows which parts of the truth?
I have the funny feeling that the kids' new telepathic abilities will come in handy, sooner or later
I'm also always suspicious of "false labor" in fiction, but we'll see.
Write more, post more!
