Really love how you've got Clark's emotions coming through with the repetition blended with the fear of the new developing powers. So sad for Clark but beautifully done. Great job, Vicki.

Thanks, Val.

Poor Clark is going through the emotional ringer right off the bat in this fic. I liked doing the repetition. It's probably close to what I might think, if I were in his shoes. It's an unfair situation, and he knows it, even if lie doesn't really work on a "fair" and "unfair" basis.
