Thanks Ann and I am glad you enjoyed it. It was fun writing a "different" sort of story.
Coolgirl, your comments or end comment,warrants a

as well, lol.

From what I remember of Ellen Lane she could take an Arctic hike as far as I'm concerned and perhaps it wouldn't be too far fetched an idea for Lois to write her off the way she did in the story. Of course the opposite holds true for J and M, who I loved getting to see both of for once in a Superman universe.
As for the "n" request, maybe Santa Penguin can cook up something for ya!
Marcus, thanks for pointing that out, but heck in a "super world" anything can happen, right? Happy you liked it anyway.
