SQD, I haven't been reading this too closely as I prefer to wait until I can read my way out of purgatory too.
From Jen's comment, I think you didn't cover the sunlight issue enough, but it is an interesting question when Clark doesn't get enough to have his powers return but gets enough to stay alive.
Remembering People vs Clark Kent, when the lack of sunlight was causing him to die.
Thanks for the story, I'm looking forward to reading it and how 2002 is going to be for our poor Clark
