Well I'm not surprised that so many of you are bummed out that Lois didn't end up with Scardino, but them's the breaks.
As for the Jenny question. I don't understand why everyone thought I was going to kill her off just because she was that universe's version of Jimmy. I don't like Jimmy as a character, but I've never killed him off in any of my stories. I had Ralph beat him up once, but that's it. Normally I just ignore the goof. Jenny, as mentioned, is this world's version of Jimmy Olsen, BUT, she is NOT Jimmy Olsen. She may have some similar traits and physical characteristics, but the gender difference is also going to make a big difference. Besides, according to series canon, Clark likes Jimmy, and all I needed Jenny for was for Clark to like her.
Irene mentioned that she thought Clark dismissed his grief over altLois' death too easily. As Wendy pointed out, she'd been sick for a year, and her actual death had taken place a month earlier. I would think that his loss would have moved to the ache of loss stage rather than the open grief of immediate devastation. The fact that he was still visiting her grave site says something about his grief. Also, the scene takes place from Lois' point of view so we weren't privy to his private thoughts. I think that we do see some of what he felt for altLois through Clark's discussion of her with Lois. They had a long wonderful life together and he missed her, but had probably reached a level of resignation over her loss due to the drawn out circumstances.
Chris wondered about Clark's apparent ease of 'warming up' to Lois right away. As Wendy and CC mentioned. This was a completely different situation than what altLois walked into. AltLois was literally a stranger to Clark when the tragic circumstances threw them together. It took both of them time to really get to know each other as the people they really were and not who they happened to look like. Lois was, and is, Clark's first love, he had already gone through all the 'initial' phases of a relationship. He had thought her dead, and had gone through a grieving process over the loss of her. Under those circumstances, especially in light of his recent loss, her suddenly reappearance into his life had to seem like a miracle. There would be no question that he would be able to slip back into his feelings for her immediately because, as was mentioned, he never really stopped loving her. That doesn't mean that he didn't love altLois, nor will he stop grieving for her and just forget her. It just means that he won't be alone while dealing with it. Clark will experience the high and the low of love at the same time. The only real problem that could ever develop between the two Lois' and Clark would have been if they'd both been there at the same time. And Lois knew that, so she chose to stay away until she found out that Clark was now alone again.
Chris also mentioned that she thought it was too easy for Lois to just leave her friends made over those ten years to come back 'home'. That was the point of Cat's death. It, in effect, isolated Lois. Cat was the only one with any real potential to be 'close' to Lois. Perry found his Alice, and Clark had Jenny, and Superman. None of these friendly relationships could match the strength of feeling that Lois had with any of their counterparts back home. And as I showed, Lois and young Clark, though good friends, had drifted apart due to the demands on him as Superman. The birth of Ultra Woman had allowed Jenny to share both sides of Clark's life and probably made their relationship that much stronger. Lois had some friends, but nothing that she would think twice about once given the opportunity to come home to her husband. As mentioned, Lois only saw Clark briefly a couple of times in the last month. So, it wasn't like they were big parts of each other's lives anymore. As far as a visit goes. I don't doubt that Lois might find it pleasant, but I doubt it would be something that she would actively seek to do.
I'm glad most gentle readers found this ending satisfying. I think it does bring the series to a logical conclusion. As I've mentioned before, I never really intended to write Lois' trilogy. I thought that bringing Lois back from the dead might 'invalidate' the original series. The initial Lois vignette was intended solely to 'bug' Wendy. It was her insistance that I post it that lead to the inevitable 'more', that had to be written. So, what I'm saying is... putting you all through this was Wendy's fault.
