Ooh, more about Letour! With a less-talented writer, the pace of the last two or three sections would have dragged, but I can't point to any part that shouldn't be there. There aren't any puffy parts or unecessary scenes. It's solid, all the way through.
I think this story is so true to all the characters, not only to the known entities but to the ones you've established within the narrative. Lois's reactions to the doctors who hurt Clark but who now say they want to help is so very accurate. And Matt, the youth who's grown up without a father but who now sees a chance to make up for some of that loss, is portrayed so touchingly.
I can't wait to find out what Clark is going to say to them. Surely he's heard enough to figure out what's going on, what was done to him, and what was stolen from him. Even without the majority of his powers, I sure wouldn't want him mad at me!
Please fill up the buffer quickly. I'm eager to see the next chapter, whether it's seventeen or sixteen-B or whatever.
