This part will answer a lot of the questions from the previous part. Thought I'd just show you rather than hint on the feedback. Hope you like my idea-- and special thanks to Corrina and IolantheAlias who have been steadfastly BR-ing this fic! They helped iron out some bumps in this part that I think made it much stronger!

I really enjoyed this part, though the phone conversation between Lois and Clark was really sad, reminding me of those episodes where he's always running off on her.

Lois's conclusion from Clark's lie is not sounding good so far. I hope she realizes that he's not a bad guy!

Clark's search of the house and his memories was really precious, and the journal entries were exceptionally poignant. I was able to see Martha writing them with Jonathan in the background. It's pretty cool that they already had the Suit made, so when Tempus asks him why he wears it, he can still give the same answer.

Thanks for sharing.

Hope Clark's powers return soon. Love the excerpts from Martha's diary. They were sweet. I like the new way you've introduced his history and the suit. (Though I wonder how his mother knew the right size to make ).

I hope Lois learns the truth about Clark soon.

Yup, that was the idea. And this Lois is even more insecure because of her guilt.

Thanks! I really enjoyed writing this scene. And the journals came really easy --Martha Kent is a strong character and even in a journal you kinda know what she wants to say!

Thanks! I had decided I would get him into the spandex, but wanted to do it without having Lois come into this alt-verse (although, honestly, I've really only borrowed Lois and Clark from this verse...)I know it was a bit of a stretch that Martha would know his size... but hey, it's spandex! As IolantheAlias said in her beta-read, 'hey, it's stretchy!' And it serves the purpose of the story and gave Clark a connection to his dead parents.

Very nice twist to get the costume to Clark. I'm guessing from the timing and Lois's attempt at going to her old apartment, that she will be caught by Lex, then Clark will fly home tomorrow and rescue her as Superman?

The diary of Martha's was so emotional - it brought tears to my eyes. I could just sense Martha's turmoil, excitement and wonder at this little gift child.

I'm sorry Lois isn't trusting Clark but then again with her history, it was amazing she had trusted him at all.

The Suit! Martha made his the suit and hid it in the fortress! You surprised me there. I thought he'd get the idea from the sketch. I never thought she would have made him a suit. I thought he'd find the globe in the treehouse. You got me!
