It's too bad that Clark lost his powers, though I was wondering how he could be captured with them. Now, however, I'm starting to get a bit worried. And what will happen to Lois?
Well, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but...great beginning. I don't know anything about Xena, but I really like this opening.
Thank you Anti-K! Having Clark lose his powers was a necessary evil. Besides, it's always fun to write for a vulnerable Clark. And I really, really didn't want to bring Kryptonite into this - it would have been a little too much.
I do throw in little tidbits about Xena and her life in the following chapters. Hopefully it is enough to make the character/show concept really accessible.
Glad you liked the little throwbacks/details to the episodes. I think my mind was working in subconcious ways when I wrote the hawks in - I was actually thinking about the falcons that nest on the towers of one of the bridges where I grew up - but wrote hawks and realized much, much later that Lois and Clark were the Hawks in Just Say Noah.
