Okay, Sam, you've hooked me. Why are they in the past? It appears that they didn't send themselves, so who did it? Why are they relying on Wells to fix things? And why are they deliberately changing history? Even if Wells does fetch them "home" somehow, they've already messed up a very skittish Lois and a very puzzled Clark. How could anyone handle being "invaded" by their future self?

But I like the little thoughts from Lois as she editorializes her speech and actions. And Clark's nonchalance at changing history strikes me as funny.

But the story line changes you've introduced are most intriguing. They've managed to tick off Luthor, deflate Cat (one of my favorite underused characters), entertain Jimmy and Perry, and alter their personal history irrevocably. I wonder where you're going with this, and I'm going to stay close to find out.
