As others have already said, this is an excellent wrapup. There was no part of it that I disliked at all, and like Tank I understood enough of the Buffy stuff to keep up.

I think my favorite line was where Lois called for Superman to get the Kryptonite with the same exasperated, almost bored tone (in my head, anyway) that a wife would say, "Dear, the kitchen sink is draining slowly again." Subtle but very funny. Right after that was the "One of them is shot in the butt but it's not my fault, honest!" line. I can just see Bill Henderson leaning his head into his hand with the phone against his ear, thinking, "Not again! I should have these forms pre-filled with just the date and perp names blank!"

Excellent story! Best crossover I've ever read on these boards. Your characters were deep and full, Lois's thought processes and slow acceptance of her Slayer abilities were on the money all the way through the story, and the relationship between Lois and Clark was presented very well. My only complaint is that I won't have any more installments of "Strong" to look forward to! Wah! This was one of the stories where I really, really wanted to know what happened next. Thank you for sharing it with us.
