Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Adventures of Clara Ellen Lane 9

Well, I've sure been writing this story intermittently. I don't expect anyone to remember much of what has been going on before, so thanks to Nancy, Classicalla, here's the TOC to the previous parts.

"No... no, he isn't rotting. He's alive. He was frozen.... There were some instructions on his survival unit, in an alien language, about how to unfreeze him without killing him. I hope I have translated those instructions correctly. We are thawing him now, very slowly. So I don't think he'll be rotting."

I went into space to save Dad. I did save him, or at least I brought him back to Earth. But I almost went crazy because I was so scared. I could have died out there. But when I came back Mom didn't sit by my side? She couldn't spare a minute to see me because she had to stay with Dad all the time?

I brought back Dad from space. I brought him to the Earth. I brought him back to Mom. I saved him, and I saved thousands of people on the Earth, too. Who knows, maybe I saved Mom?

I thought I would have the Dad I've never had if I brought him home to us. But instead I've lost my Mom?

I've been flying around the Earth several times before I landed here. I've been flying across the Pacific, over the Himalayas, over Sahara and over rain forests.... Imagine, just a few days ago I couldn't fly at all.

"Thank you," he says softly. "Please let me take you to my Fortress of Solitude."

"Clara," he says. His voice is so rough. Like he hasn't used it for years and years. But there's a world of meaning in that one word he said. Like he was saying, thank you for saving my life, I can't believe you're my daughter, you are so beautiful, I love you, I never thought I'd have a child, I can't tell you how happy I am.
