Hello everyone! Hope you all are having nice weekends! Thanks for all this yummy fdk.
Hi Dandello! Well, Clark wasn't "critically/life-threateningly" hurt but I wouldn't flippantly dismiss what's happened to him either... poor guy...
Hmmm, you just never know about Lois. That's why she's such a fun character to write. Depending on her mood and how she reacts to a situation, she can very easily blow up at Clark over his secret, or sometimes she can be led into being a little more understanding... especially if circumstances are problematic. <shrug> We shall see. <g> Thanks so much for the fdk!
Hi Framework4! I'm glad you like that. Yes, just how long is Clark's powers going to stay missing??? And how is it going to affect him? I loved your line about "doped up hurting Clark Kent" -- LOL that was funny. Thanks for the fdk.
Hi mervoparkite! Thanks! Yes, she knows who she's in love with - even if her conscious mind had trouble reconciling it. Thanks for the fdk! I'll have another part up in a few days.
Hi Ann! Thank you (and I see you came back with more fdk later - yay) I'm so glad you enjoyed that chapter. Thanks.
Hi another folc - thanks! <g> Yes, I could just see her in such a tizzy to get to the hospital that she didn't even want to change clothes. She just had to get there. And yes, what about Clark/Superman??? Will she figure it out???
Hi ignoredsins! LOL at the passing time at work. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the compliment on the portraying of the emotions and fears - I'm glad it felt so believable. Thanks for the fdk.
LOL Jen! Yes, RAFO... I'm afraid a lot of this story is going to be like that. <g> At least, I hope it will... if I did it right.
Even if it's just a flesh wound (Monty Python flashbacks, anyone? <g>) he wasn't even a healthy, regular person when it happened.
I find it very interesting that you pointed this out. <g> Again, RAFO.

Thanks Jen!
Hi Laura S! I love that you were racing along in your reading like Lois was racing to find Clark. <g> You're welcome on the fast posting. It was all those great reviews I got. FDK feeds the beast you know. <g> I'm not sure when I'll be posting part 3 - Maybe Thursday or Friday?
Hi princessanna! Thanks for the fdk, even if you didn't have time to leave lengthy fdk (I know you said "good" fdk - but it's all "good" regardless of the length... I'm happy to have it. <g>)
Now Clark just needs to be alright and Lois needs to figure it all out...
Ahem... you do realize I said this story was going to be 20 - 25 parts, right?
Hi Mellie! Thanks for the fdk. Glad you liked it.
Hi Nan! Eeee hee hee. I'm tickled that you don't know where we're going, and I'm so glad you like it. Thanks.
Hi Ann! Thanks for coming back!!! YES!!! That's exactly what I was going for on the communication thing. I've been in such a tizzy before that I try to communicate something and no one can understand me.
Glad you enjoyed the symbolism in the ripped wedding dress. It will make another appearance in the next part.
Thanks for all the quoting at the hospital and for quoting the line about the sun shining and Clark inside in pain. That little line came to me a long time back (when I was first planning this story)and I jotted it down in note form until I could get it into the story. <g> I'm glad you liked it.
quote: Clark had been right. She had been about to get in bed with the devil. It scared her that she had known Lex so little. He had hidden so much from her.
Not like Clark. Lois knew Clark better than she probably knew any man; her father included.
In a way Lois knows Clark so well, but in another way she doesn't know him.
Yes, so so true. Little does she know both how much she knows about Clark and yet how little she knows about him. <g>
Yes, I meant for him to appear frail because of a combination of things (which are yet to be revealed) that includes long exposure to Kryptonite and being out of the sun for a while and being injured on top of everything...
I'm so glad you were able to believe in the way I had written Lois so as to understand her motivations (at least in my story). Yay! Thank you for that additional fdk Ann!!!
Thanks again everyone! Glad you're enjoying it!
