Nice chapter! Enjoyed Clark and Lois catching up with each other. Knowing about Templar/Tempus and not fully explaining is yet another partial truth Clark finds himself in and eventually will need to explain to Lois. Clark is Clark in any dimension.
The interaction with Ariana, Daae and Lana adds dimension to the story. I like how you interspersed their scenes.
Yay! Glad to see Grace Chen and
Rhapsody Knits in this story.

Nice detail with Clark and his buddies frequenting Uncle Mike's cafe.
Across the street a man wearing a Metros baseball cap pulled low over his face and a woman with long blonde hair and sunglasses observed them with eagerness. They turned to each other and smiled.
The woman said wistfully, “Watching them brings back so many memories.”
“Yeah, honey it does. Let’s hope he doesn’t make the same mistakes.”
He could sense the woman beside him was rolling her eyes in exasperation and he could not help but smile.
Since the two timelines have converged, this Lois & Clark could be from the present, since in the old timeline the John Doe mess would have already occurred. Will be interesting to see if they are observers or the cavalry with some additional help and information.
