Brava! clap What a great chapter - I loved it! Ditto to what all the others have said. This story is so well-written. Very, very well done.

I had been wondering how Clark would manage to escape without the cummerbund. (Well, he hasn't actually escaped yet, has he? - But the entire rewrite of the scene with Luthor, substituting the tie for the cummerband was pure genious.)

I'm on the edge of my seat here, anxiously awaiting the next chapter...

PS - I didn't get around to posting fdk on the previous chapter, so I'll make a quick comment here - I absolutely loved and adored the entire puke-green-shirt-for-a-cat-bed scene, and I loved it even more that this wonderful Lois and *Clark* moment took place while he was Superman. What more proof does this boy need? <g>
