And once again, I'm in that quandry of "why, oh why, did I hover around hitting refresh to read this part because now I have to wait a full 48 hours --ack, 72 hours this time!!! -- to get the next section??"
Gosh, that was good. You could just take everything KathyM said and paste it here ... it must be the name. Like her, I loved every word.
I am so curious about Silas and his connection to Lois, and I loved how Clark recognized it in him. And you did a good job of showing Silas as a very bright and capable but very young and confused man as he kept trying to figure out the merry-go-round that is Lois and Clark. His (paraphrased) "you seem normal, kind of, but then you lose it" was great, as was his thought of calling his big brother to help him deal with them. I'm liking him more and more with each passing part.
Loved L&C's conversation about The Departure Room (you nailed them both, as well as Silas's reaction to them), and Hank and Elise (am I the only one who was looking for hints of Lois in everything Elise does?)
And then Madge and Petal (and Andrus-who-no-longer-makes-brownies) trying to smoke out Tempus!! What a twist and I can't wait to see how it plays out! (BTW, the weapons discussion was brilliant, too -- yes, Tempus would be gleeful if Utopia resorted to such means to get him, yet I'm still finding myself thinking that maybe it's only his methods that are off, not his beliefs.)
Feel free to keep adding parts, CC ... I'm enjoying this too much to ever want it to end.
Kathy (Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday ... where the heck is that damn time criminal Wells with his blasted machine so I can get it sooner?)
