Wow! What a emotional part.
“He’s so scared to upset me that he’s afraid sometimes to make a sound. Like an abused spouse or child…”
And so this must be affecting their marriage and not in a good way.
Summoning up what he had seen, and what he had experienced with Lord Nor, Clark tried to channel the Lord Kal that had imprisoned her.
He started out with simple menacing statements about her past slavery.
<<You’re mine>>
That must be horrifying and sickening to remember.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” and she began to beg with him in his native alien language for forgiveness.
Suddenly there was silence in her mind. She waited long and terrified moments for further reprisal.
This is bad. She's reverting to the old days.
I only hope that she can learn to block the invasion at least somewhat. It sounds as if this practicing is making her revert. It might set back her relationship with her Clark. Canon Clark must be horrified at what he's done to her. Has her own Clark picked up on her emotional distress?
And, BTW, has alt-Clark (the Clark from "Long Strange Trip") become practiced in his own telepathic abilities? Will he be able to keep out unwanted invaders? This might be important.
Excellent chapter! Please post more soon.
