Trenna, I agree that it seems unlikely for Lois to stay in the alt-universe. But when I first watched Lois & Clarks, I did wonder what it would be like if "our" Clark couldn't be rescued, and alt-Clark stepped in to help out, permanently... I guess Tank's covered something similar in his Future series, though with genders reversed.

Interesting dynamics, though...

Ja-10, you're right, I don't think I've seen that idea before. I generally have a pretty low opinion of women who abandon their children so they can go do their own thing... but if it were presented as a formal adoption thing -- because Lara didn't think she could raise Kal to adjust to Earth, or something similar -- then it might be very interesting. Especially if she *doesn't* visit <eg> Imagine a teenaged Clark, discovering he's got the same powers as this super-woman who's been famous for the last twenty years... freaky wink
