Chapter 9 lives here.
And here's the TOC.

Cliffhanger!

And from my little research section: Regarding super-vision, we all know that Superman can see very well in the dark, but there were one or two points in the show where his night vision seemed to be more impaired than his usual vision (and that translated to very impaired for Superman, who I had always assumed could see perfectly well in the dark). But this one can't see everything for some reason? So I took the show's cue and gave Clark vision that was much better in the dark than anyone else around him, but was not perfect. (And, of course, there's all that lead in the walls and rocks around them, which you can assume is also in any dust in the air.)

Enormous thanks to 90stvfangirl who kindly agreed to beta this story and pacem for a through, speedy second look!

I always appreciate any thoughts or comments on stories!
Thanks for reading!

Wow! I just started this story today and now I'm eager for the rest. It's a very gripping adventure plot, and you're doing a great job of making all the new characters you've introduced interesting, fleshed out, and memorable.

Uh-oh...

Will Superman be needed and will Clark have to reveal his secret after all? *runs to the next chapter*

I was holding my breath while reading. Such a great chapter

Carnahan continues to be looking suspicious! In the beginning, I was thinking he was looking too nice, and now he's appearing again after the mummy! HMMM!

BTW, your link for Chapter 9 FDK on the TOC mistakenly leads to Chapter 8 FDK, instead of here! I thought I was doing something terribly wrong with my clicking 😅

This was such a good, intense chapter!! So many discoveries!! The mummy!! And this ending!! I look forward to catching up with the next chapter asap!! ❤❤❤

Wow! Such a gripping adventure. I adore Lois being Lois. And this is perfect.

AmyPrime, that's an enormous compliment - thank you so much! I was really worried about each other character being specific and, well, likeable so I really appreciate your kind words. I hope you enjoy the rest of it, and that it's a satisfying reveal at the end. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Peixinho, Superman is definitely going to get a workout here, don't worry!

Bakasi, thank you!!! I'm so glad the suspense worked here! Thanks for commenting!

Anna, thanks for catching that; I redirected the link. So glad that you liked this chapter! The stakes and adventure definitely ramped up here a bit! I'm so happy to see your excitement!

Verity, thank you so much! I also like when Lois really gets to fully Lois - investigating, taking charge, kicking butt; it's fun to try to write her both as she sees herself but also the way Clark sees her.
