When Bruno meets Mad Dog Lane he's going to fold up like last week's laundry. He'll give up Lana just to keep Lois from ripping his head off while Superman stands there whistling Dixie and watching the clouds go by.

Talk about good cop/bad cop. This is angry but restrained parent/insanely furious parent. The fat man's gonna sing like a nightingale.

And I'd bet that Lisa will figure out that Lana's doing something to her and will meet her parents halfway down the mountain. Lana doesn't know that exposure to the green K builds up some resistance to its effects in Kryptonians. Of course, when Lois finds out what Lana's done and confronts her, the meeting with Bruno will look like a tea party by comparison.

Excellent work, Shayne. I'm all but glued to my computer, wondering when the next chapter will be posted.
