I'm late to the party (again). At least I made it before the next installment was posted. I think I've already missed one or two feedback threads altogether. RL, arg!!
Random thoughts:
Tek and Riz not being able to make sounds compatible with English does seem to be yet another hint that Kal once knew English. (Another clue was the give-away line in a much earlier chapter about Kal never having seen the written characters of English before, "How could he have?")
During the show, I always thought Clark's ability to learn every language under the sun was because he was Kryptonian. The scene with Tek and Riz eliminates that possibility, making me even more sure Kal was raised on earth. - I love the way everything ties together. I think if I were ever to try my hand at writing, I'd just write this long, rambling story that wanders off into nowhere. I am (as I've said before) amazed at your story-telling ability. In fact, that's why I frequent these boards - I'm amazed at the incredible talent of all the folcs posting here!
Someone pondered in an earlier feedback thread about Superman's "S" on Lois's hand. That got me thinking, and reminded me of the scene in the show where Superman was shot with a kryptonite bullet. When the bullet was removed, the wound healed itself. So.... wouldn't the brand on her hand heal itself when she became super?
I totally expected the globe to come to life when Tek touched it. I was confused when it didn't. I was even MORE confused when it DID come to life the second time Tek touched it.
