<sigh>
Okay...
So I'm finally back...
Like 2 months after I posted originally <ducks head>
But, I just read part 1 and I am so hooked. <g> I loved Clark's whole inner conversation about the "vest thingy" - had me cracking up.
I like how you've set this story up - it is believable - rather lunkheaded of him to think he can retire Superman... yet, still believable. He DID help people before he became Superman and he DOES deserve to have a life and get the girl...
I'll be interested to see how this unfolds. <g> Off to read part 2.
