I'm sorry I haven't commented before, but I am greatly enjoying this story. Lois has been given an opportunity so many of us would love to have--the chance to go back to a certain point in our lives and use our acquired wisdom to reshape our history.
In this case, Lois gets the opportunity to reverse a horrible mistake--failing to recognize and respond to the man she fell in love with. In so doing, she gets to modify history--to save not only his life, but also the planet itself.
How will a 28 year old Lois react to an 18 year old Clark? She loves him, of course, and feels an immediate connection (as does he). However, the man she fell in love with is a man shaped by experiences Clark hasn't yet enjoyed--traveling the world, learning his craft, saving people surreptitiously, etc. She must be careful not to expect too much too soon, regardless of his exceptional nature.
There is also the problem of changing history, as previous posters noted. It is impossible to predict with any certainty how a modification to even one decision will affect the future, much less to understand the impact of a radical altering of the time line.
I'm interested to see how this plays out!
