I noticed in the series what Framework is talking about. When faced with trouble involving his super side, Clark tended to run, until Lois stepped in to change his perspective. Considering that he'd been told all his life to hide what he was, that isn't surprising, but it took Lois to give him the courage to face those kinds of problems instead of running. I think you've captured that quite well here.
Normally I don't read stories heavy on the angst until they are finished. In spite of writing mostly suspense-type stories myself, I have little ability to handle it in someone else's story <g> but you've changed the focus here, so I think I can manage -- but don't dawdle, okay? I want to see how this comes out.
