My favorite parts have already been mentioned and praised so I’ll just say “ditto” to others’ comments regarding the description of the loss of powers from Clark’s POV, Martha’s intervention, Lois and Clark’s argument, Mr. Phipps and her possessiveness of her daughter’s former crush etc.
I also liked the way you show Clark’s disbelief that Janice had a crush on him – very much in character.
As I haven’t commented before I’d like to say at this time that I’m really enjoying the perfect blend of characterization, A-plot, humor and relationship development evident in this story.
Can’t wait for more!
