I too am glad that you posted this chapter so quickly and therefore gave us some answers
Seeing that Lex Luthor died (how, why, when?) is good to read, however I feel that he still has a hold on Lois. Wasn't he the one who stopped her from being a reporter and maybe ultimatively going into politics? Wasn't he the one who taught her to make sometimes ugly compromises?And isn't his name the one, Lois Lane still uses for political reasons? In my opinion, she can regret it all the way she wants, as long as she doesn't act accordingly that's worthless. Similarily could have been Clark's view of all this.
Anyway, I'm hooked. Though this story deals with some darker topics than I am used to on these boards lately, I had fun reading these two chapters, your writing is great and constantly keeps me on the edge of my seat
