Ha ha ha! Thanks Ann! I'm glad you're loving it. I loved writing it and could't wait to start posting it.
Okay, let me address a couple of your concerns. First, Clark doesn't have a beard. By saying that Clark used his heat vision to shorten the beard he'd grown over night, I meant to imply he was shaving - like he did in one of the episodes. I may need to re-write that part to make it clearer.
So no, don't imagine him with a beard, he doesn't have one - he shaved off the stubble.
