Thanks for the comments!
I’m not so sure Lois and Clark would leave, even if they were very unhappy with what happened. The U.S. has enormous influence throughout the world, so I don’t think it would do them much good to move unless they went somewhere like Russia or China, and they’d probably be even worse off there.
Plus, I’m pretty sure the government would be saying this was unauthorized and they’d track down whoever did it and punish them. Someone would then take the fall as a scapegoat and go to prison. And they’d say we’ll help you try to get home (like we have any idea how to do that) and we’ll take good care of you while you’re here (which we hope is forever).
I think Lois and Clark would know it was all smoke but I don’t know what they could do about it. They’d have to just work hard to change things for the better, like they always do, and hope H. G. Wells came looking for them.
I’m glad I didn’t write that story…
