Thanks again to my two wonderful BRs - Iolanthe and Lynn.

Corrina.

Poor Clark! Lana has really ripped out his heart and torn it into pieces before burning them. Please have Lois pull him into a big hug and let her soothe his pain.
You have me hooked. Really great story!

Clark spoke.

Lois knows that Clark knows English. She understands that he is in very, very deep pain.

The big question, how did Lois win so many journalism awards without realizing how absolutely evil some people are? No matter who the main is there are some people who will dessert him.

I have to say this is probably the worst Lana we have ever seen. At some level she seems not as bad as crazy Lana who tried to frame Clark for a muder, but what she has done to Clark is more emotionally painful and more cutting and more hurtful.

at how horrendous and hurtful she is.

I really hope Lois can figure out a way to help and treat Clark. It will be very hard. At least he realizes that she is responding in a caring and loving way that Lana never did.

Well, I have to say I am glad at the progress. Now Lois knows what situation Clark is in. Hopefully she can get him to give up and really talk to her in the morning.

I have to admit this is the first story where I have hoped Clark does not soon recover from Kryptonite poisoning. The longer he is physically weak, the better chance he has to emotionally recover.

Hi Corrina,

I always enjoy your stories. This one has me intrigued.

You will probably be addressing this later and I'm sorry if I'm jumping the gun but I would like to know just why Lois stayed. The Lois we all know and love would have stolen a canoe or built a raft and floated down river to get back to civilization. She would never have been content to set up housekeeping in the Congalese jungle.

Help me out here.

Her instinct to uncover what is hidden is definitely got to be one of the things that will keep them together initially.

And she knows he knows English! She has seen a bit more of the picture.... can't wait for her to start prodding Clark for more.

Excellent read, as always! Anxiously awaiting the next part!

This is as depressed a Clark as I’ve ever seen. Lana’s betrayal hit him incredibly hard.

I was glad for this: Now Lois knows what she’s dealing with.

Also, everything we’ve seen so far points to a Lois who has been substantially changed by her African experience. This Lois is a healer and a mother. It occurs to me that in a way, Lois did die. This person is not anything at all like the hard-edged city-girl that our regular Clark met in Metropolis.

Neither do most fanfic readers, at least when they are reading a story as captivating as this one. Fortunately, we have your brilliant writing and plotting to keep us satisfied while the story unfolds.

I love how you have Lois talk to Clark, letting us in on some of the details we've been wondering about. And I especially enjoyed the way you have Clark speak for the first time and reveal that he indeed knows English. Nicely done.

More, please.

Kathy

Great part Corrina. Now Lois knows, that her patient speaks English and is planning to help him with his real issues. Clark is seriously damaged, but at least he's stopped seeing Lois as a threat. Please, more soon.

Wow, your Lana is a stone-cold bitch.

I know I should stop reading this in installments because the tension will drive me crazy, but I'm hanging in so far Fascinating world you've created here.

PJ

Fantastic part once again. I'm curious who the father of Lana's baby is. Please don't let it be Tempus.

Kathryn Great to hear from you, Kathryn!

Yes, Clark is hurting, and he doesn't even have M&J to help. But he's with Lois, so

John Glad you liked the progress.

Interesting point. Remember, she comes from the violent alt-world. She has already discerned that Clark is a good man. She's assuming he had the sense to marry a good woman, and that that woman would have realised how wonderful Clark was, compared with much of the rest of society.

Ken

The key word is 'civilisation'. From what we saw of the alt-world, it wasn't very civilised at all. Being a reporter, Lois would have seen and written about much of the violence and evil. There was no Clark or Superman in her world. Are you sure she would want to go back?

As you said, more will follow

MM The 'prodding' might be a little different to what you're imagining.

Bob

Because Clark felt that Lana was *all* he had. His parents are dead. The alt-society isn't conducive to friendship and loyalty. And he's never met Lois.

We never saw alt-Lois. I agree this Lois has been changed by her African experiences, but couldn't she also have been changed by living in the alt-world?

Kathy Lois needing to talk certainly helped me out here.

Kate A few words from Clark, and Lois understands his *real* needs. That's part medicine woman and part soul-mate!

Pam Sorry about driving you crazy! I'm only managing to write one part a week, so that's all I can post. Thanks for hanging in there.

chickberry The father of Lana's child - you won't know for quite a while.

Thanks to everyone for the FDK! I appreciate your interest and thoughts.

Corrina.

Chelo - thanks so much for de-lurking and leaving such kind words. I'm so glad you enjoy my stories.
