Nice installment, Carol!
Lois had spent virtually all of the last couple of days in the library – pouring over the texts Zara had pointed out.
Eh, Lois speaks and reads Kryptonian? I must have missed that in the earlier parts. Time for a re-read.
"Not just morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably and reliably dead? Not just merely dead? Not just really most sincerely dead?" Lois arched one eyebrow trying to comprehend what she was being told.
Zara looked at her oddly.
Lois sighed. "Wizard of Oz. I was in the play."
<snicker!> Cute.
"He was raised on a planet with a yellow sun. It's made his physiology different than ours. He can't handle the Kryptonian virus that he was infected with."
Interesting interpretation that the yellow sun changed his physiology rather than him simply lacking the immunities usually gained during childhood. Or, maybe that's what you meant.
