Still reading as well.

I liked this chapter and the Lois and Clark interaction. I like that even after all these years of marriage, these two still can't keep their hands off of each other.

You've shown nicely how Clark is adapting to being a reporter again, and how he is coping without his superpowers.

I'd like to see a bit more interaction with Clark and his daughters. How is Sara coping with her new powers? How are they finding having a father again? It's important to realize that Lois was both mother and father to these three children for nearly four years. Is Clark having trouble disciplining them for example, because he's been away so long, or doesn't want them to hurt any further? Do the girls have any resentment towards their father for being away so long? Are the girls jealous with all the time Clark spends with Matt, and not them?

You've mentioned these things before, I'm sure, but with the focus on the bomb plot and Jor-El, I miss reading about the other members of the family, including Martha and Jonathan.

It's also so difficult to see Clark without superpowers. They are a part of him, and I feel that a part of him died when they went away. I hope he'll be super again by the time this fic ends.
