Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic Comments: Homecoming 22

Well, what do you think? As to whether he can fly yet, obviously not. After all, if he could fly, he'd be spending his nights on a tropical island somewhere rent free. Of course, he IS only a couple of months from being eighteen....

Just because Clark first flew at 18 doesn't mean he couldn't have flown earlier. He didn't have any idea flight was even a possibility until the first time. It's not a given that the day Clark discovered he could fly was the first day it was possible.

I spotted two typos: "C lark", and "CostCo" instead of CostMart. I sincerely hope that CostCo is not a front for Intergang.

Another great chapter! It would have been too simple for everything to go perfectly. I hope there isn't an easy way to get up on the roof in a hurry, though I suppose Lois is going to be hearing a lot of pounding and cursing from the access hatch.

The question is, can Clark save the day without anyone else finding out his secret?

Eeeek! Oh, no! And with Clark gone, too. Time to put his super hearing to the test.

At least, they know the name of an honest cop. Thanks, Bill Church and unnamed policeman, for that bit of information. No wonder Henderson doesn't work with a partner.

Let's hope the video camera worked. Yeah, keeping the lens cap in your hand while juggling two very expensive very sensitive pieces of equipment, not good.

Keeping me on the edge of my seat again, Shayne.

Very evil cliffhanger. Clearly time for Clark to learn to fly. Glad the rooftop access is unopenable.

Delightful part.

Too bad Clark can't fly. Maybe he can only leap tall buildings.

Lois is suddenly hoping Clark is less than 31 miles away!

Now would be a good time for Clark to discover his gift of flight.

UH OH!!!!!!! Talk about TROUBLE!!!!!!!

But SUCH a Lois Lane moment, too.

Hoping Clark makes it back PRONTO, and that Lois managed to record everything properly because they're not going to get another chance after this.

Now would be a good time for Lois to call for Clark's help.

On the bright side, she now knows that Bill Henderson is not in Costmart's pocket. If she can get to him (presumably with Clark's aid) and if the film and especially the audio were clear, they will be in much better shape than they are now.

I'll admit that I had been confused when I started reading this part. I had thought the italics had meant that the opening paragraphs were a recap of a section of the previous part, and I double-checked that I hadn't missed any parts. Of course, when Lois awoke I realized the significance of the italicization.

Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I'm also curious about how Clark had planned to get back onto the roof. Presumably, he could have simply jumped off of it to get down; given his invulnerability, getting down from heights should be no problem -- although even that might have been tricky, since he would have had to have landed quietly enough for the people in the restaurant not to have noticed him. On the other hand, if there were an easy way to climb up the outside of the building, then that does not bode well for Lois right now.

Joy,
Lynn

Lois is going to need some help real soon. I can't wait for the next part.

I think that if Lois survives this, she'll have learned an important lesson about surveilling people.

Yay for Henderson being honest, and Lois hearing about it.

A muted yay for the unnamed cop to protest Henderson being killed, although this is probably only because it will upset the applecart, not due to any real concern about Henderson.
