Hi Sheila!!!
Thanks for the fdk. And yes, I did say it would end on a cliffhanger (so will the next part too... I would say unfortnately, but, well, I like cliffhangers.

)
First, I want to point out one thing. *If* Richard has Kryptonite, regardless of why he has it, it won't affect Jason. If you remember from the movie, Kryptonite didn't affect Jason when Lex exposed him to it (my own personal theory is that this was due to him being only half Kryptonian... and half human - which I also think is the reason he can be super and still have allergies... his human half allows that - he has "mixed" DNA - but of course that's just my theory) and this story is also based on "Supermen United" and in that story I mentioned the fact that Jason wasn't affected by Kryptonite.
Okay, so that aside...
Does Richard have Kryptonite? And, if so, why? Would he really go over the edge that far? Just to have Lois?
Hmmm, interesting, is it not?
I was afraid a lynchmob might come after me when I posted this part (I think Framework4 was ready to get the rope out in the other thread

) but your comments make me feel better. Maybe not everyone will lose their faith in me.
Thanks for your support and saying this was well written. I appreciate it.
