I really enjoyed this beginning. I could visualize the bedlam of the burnt building and the managers and technicians along with the doctors.

Quote
half of the STAR Labs building was now just a charred ruin, eerily standing out against the orange glow of Metropolis' night sky.
That image of the remains was really great

I can't wait to see where you go with this. Part of me was holding out for a more ambiguous portrayal of Luthor, but I got the feeling Clark went from the frying pan into the fire. At least when he was held captive he wasn't forced to do anything morally suspect, something tells me he might not be so lucky with Luthor.

And of course I can't wait until he gets to meet Lois. I would imagine after all he's been through that she would be more open than he would be. It'd be a nice change for her to be drawn to him first.

Wonderful! I'll be reading!
