Here is the next part: Damage

I think it'll be clear soon that I'm venturing into uncharted territory (more than my usual), just to give you a heads up, but don't worry, it all has a purpose.

Thoughts?

Whew. There's a lot to take in there, with his injuries and the psychological damage -- glad he recognized that right away and knows that he needs to address it before it could become a problem (hands touching him). I'm also glad and amazed (like Clark) that no one was killed by those monsters!

I'm relieved that Lois could be there for him as well!!

I am a bit worried about where you're going (uh, given some of the questions you've asked in Discord! ) but eagerly waiting for the next chapters!

Another great chapter. I, too, am incredibly curious how you will continue this tale. Thank you so much for writing.

SuperBek - Yeah, A LOT has happened. And Lois definitely needed to be there ^_^ As for what's coming . . . next part will be up shortly.

bakasi - Thanks . Admittedly, I am too (though I'm thinking more into Act 5....)
