Thanks for the feedback!
Virginia: Yes, Kara is a little mature for her age, but I hope not unrealistically so.
John: I am not sure it is a good thing, either. Good luck to you and your girlfriend, and I hope you have less time to read my story soon!
As Mr. Wells said, without a navigational beacon Lois and Clark have an uncertainty of up to eight weeks and/or hundreds of miles in when and where they show up in Emily's and Caitlin's reality, relative to their targeted time/place. They still have a big role to play in the story, and there's over twenty chapters left.
