Eh. I just thought of something, precisely because I mentioned Odysseus and Penelope. They were separated for twenty years, because it took Odysseus ten years to fight the war against Troy, and then it took him another ten years to make the journey back home, because Poseidon, the god of the sea, disliked Odysseus and tried to trip him up all the time. In other words, Odyssues' journey home took just as long as the time it took him to fight the actual war!

Rac, you have called this part of your trilogy(?) The Long Road Home. Surely you aren't planning to write chapter after chapter after chapter describing how some god of space - whoever that might be! - is relentlessly trying to thwart Clark's attempts to make his way back to Lois, so that his journey home lasts as long as the time he actually spent on New Krypton?
