Phillip added Luthor and his known associates to the list of people for Eugene's program to watch.
That ought to keep them busy.
Given that it was the night before Luthor's wedding, the odd request had sparked off a series of wild speculations.
I bet.
It was disturbing, and, in a way, almost embarrassing, as if I'd intruded on something private, something I wasn't supposed to see.
Poignant.
It was amazing. Even in his condition, he was still fighting. I knew a lot of people who wouldn't have had nearly that much willpower. It made me pause. Maybe things weren't always as easy for him as it seemed. Strength of will is like any other kind.
The respect builds. It helps that Tommy fancies himself working on the same team. This is something altogether different, though.
We talked about it, and, all things considered, decided to take him in. We'd seen his work, and he was obviously capable of keeping a secret. With us, he'd have a home, food, something to do, and the opportunity to help his hero from time to time. He was quick to take us up on the offer.
I'm glad they have the opportunity to talk about it this time. I believe that Jack is a good choice--trustworthy & proven with a decided investment already in the protection of Superman. The group does seem to be getting large, though, for such a big secret. (Just an off thought, but I'm surprised professional soldiers wouldn't notice goo coming from nowhere.)
It's nice to see something good come to Bibbo, as well.
