Peixinho, LOL - I didn't think of the 'Martha' connection from BvS when I wrote this but that's really funny! Anyway, great parallel now! (Though it does turn out slightly differently in this story.) Lois is definitely figuring some things out here that's all sort of emotional carnage and debris from House of Luthor. I think that she'll be forced to reckon with some of it, but I'll save whether she brings it up, Clark brings it up, or it's forced into the conversation by the universe. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!

Morgana, I'm so glad you're enjoying the location. I was really, really excited to tackle this, which is probably why it turned into a bit of an epic! I did do quite a bit of research for this, but honestly a lot was dusting off memory and double checking the details. I was an amateur enthusiast and came pretty close to going to college just for this. wink

Bakasi, So glad to hear it! I'll tell you that we definitely have some Superman conversations coming up. But for now I'll leave it a mystery as to whether he actually shows up. Thanks for stopping by to comment!
