“So what do we know?” Buffy spoke from behind Lois, and her voice was curt.
“There’s some kind of compulsion on him. All they have to do is call for him, and he’ll come.”
Lois closed her eyes for a moment. She should have protected him.
At least this guilt was going to make her smarter. She was going to do better. She was going to save him.
And then she’d save herself.
I love the way you tie all the pieces together at the end of this chapter. It is so perfect for Lois to want to save Clark first and then herself--even in this alt-universe.
