There's no need to rehash the comments from the other posters, suffice it to say that this is another enjoyably well-written story from the keyboard of one of the better writers on these boards.
There was plenty of opportunity to 'expand' on the action presented in order to up the emotional levels of some of the scenes, but you know how the gentle readers are. If they had their way you'd have to write a minute by minute exposition of everything that happened. We surely love our details. Still, you presented a nicely balanced story with plenty of action and emotion without drowning us in excessive angst and contrived situtations.
The epilogue gave us a nice peek into the future of the characters. We are allowed to see how Lisa has grown up and become a typical teenager/young adult (well as typical as she can be), and how the relationship of Lois and Clark turns out. It satisfies the need for the 'Happily Ever After'.
Another fine effort... what's next?
Tank (who agrees with Terry that a story about how Lisa decides to 'come into the family business' might be fun, but has no desire to see Lisa's kids)
