SQD, a good instalment, but a tad short. (or at least it seemed like it was short because it flew by so quickly.)
Interesting, if not totally unexpected, direction you've decided to go in. I can see, and understand Clark's reasoning here. He still has that noble streak that tells him that after so long, he is no longer the person that Lois, and his folks know and love, and since they have probably moved on, he feels it best if he lets them continue to think him dead, and live the lifes they have now. So, we can see that, even after nine years in prison, he's still a lunkhead.
WE NEED TO SEE WHAT LOIS HAS BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tank (who figures that Lois is probably the managing editor by now and Jimmy is, hopefully, lost in the Congo)
