Ohh, nice save, Clark! I'm really glad Mayson wasn't hurt again. And I wonder just how strongly Clark feels about her. He was about as rough with that intruder as he could be without actually hurting the guy.

Mayson's self-control is hanging by a thread. And even though you began this story as Mayson's hopeless romance (and are still describing it this way), it could go in another direction, especially since it looks like Lois is in serious danger now. Will Clark be able to save her, too? Will Dan Scardino be a good guy or a bad guy? Will he get close to Mayson and replace Clark in her heart? Or, in the spirit of total disaster, will Dan the secret Intergang assassin kill Lois, and will Clark blame himself and withdraw and finish shattering Mayson's heart?

I know, that was mean. But this is still good. I've missed it, and I hope the muse isn't AWOL.
