I know anger is traditionally the second stage, but people don't always follow the stages in order. I think I was a little blocked because an angry Clark could be dangerous, especially at thye age of ten or eleven, before he has learned to control his own strength.

Awww! I feel so horrible for poor Clark. Why do I get the feeling his powers might get him thrown out of this place (even if that's a good thing - it doesn't sound like the healthiest environment)?

Yikes just saw this one. How did I miss the first part. I am caught up. Very sad. This is Alt Clark no doubt.

Poor Clark! And, for that matter, poor other kids and, to a much lesser extent, poor foster mother.

I am hoping that the final stage of grief will hold something at least slightly positive for Clark, but I could see it going either way. I hope the acceptance will come because, say, a certain female reporter enters his life and helps him to come to terms with things, and not because he finally accepts that his current miserable situation is his new reality.

I also hope part three will follow soon.

Well written, if heart-breaking.

Joy,

Poor Clark! How hard it must be, being thrown in with strangers, changing in ways he himself doesn't understand, and not have anyone he can truly talk to about it. I just want to give him a hug.

Beautifully done.

Aw! Poor little Clark! I think the process you're putting him through is reasonable and definitely makes sense.

Glad to see you came back to this! Can't wait for the next stage.
