This was just confusing and tantalizing enough to make you want to know what the heck is going on.
One point I had to double check on though is the 'memory' of Clark's encounter with Wayne Irig. It took a second reading for me to be sure that Clark hadn't actually killed Wayne. I don't care what the lad might have been put through, the moment he kills an innocent you've lost me because it is no longer Clark Kent/Superman.
I'm intrigued enough to continue reading to see some of the myriad of questions you've put out there answered.
