Yes, this part was a bit… rough on Lois and Clark. I guess I should have posted a disclaimer that there will be no permanent WHAMs in this story. But obviously there will be some injuries along the way.

What happened!
Lex had a plan. Unfortunately, not everyone involved was completely briefed on all the possible contingencies. (Meaning if the policemen would have realized who Lois was to the Boss, he would have never risked shooting her.)


DW:
Okay, it was a little evil. It wont be too long for part 8.

Lois and Kal El both down.
There was a 2 for 1 special in the evil-plot store.

But nice waffy beginning to the chapter
I’m glad someone noticed. See, not all evil.


scifiJoan:
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the more personal part of the chapter.


HappyGirl:
A pinch of WAFF and a dash of evil. Bring to a slow boil.

Michael, who wonders if Bob's Angst Meter shorted out a fuse, thus allowing this much angsty violence into the story.
We all see angst differently. For me the real angst was all in part 1. Lois and Clark in conflict is angst for me. As long as they are going to be okay in the long run – and the lack of that WHAM warning is a dead giveaway that they will – then this isn’t really that angsty.


Elizabeth:
I’ll get the next part up as fast as I can.


Thank you all again.
Bob
