Chris, I'm so glad to see the continuation of this story. I really like your CJ.
Another thought flitted across the edge of his consciousness: why hadn't he thought this through before, back in the other world when he'd had the luxury of time to do so? Maybe it wouldn't have been such a bad idea to have brought back one of the Superman suits with him, after all.
It's been a while since I read the original, so I don't remember. I can understand why CJ might not have thought of this - not having had superpowers before, he wouldn't have lived with the constant fear of exposure by the media. But of course
Clark had - was there anything in there about him considering warning CJ, and then deciding against it? I know that CJ's powers are only going to last a finite amount of time, but there's still lots of opportunity for the world to discover that there is a man who can "fly", etc., and I think they would still hound him long after his powers disappeared.
And then even after he realized that he didn't want to leave clues to his identity, as Tank pointed out, he
still blurted it out to Lois even when he could have gotten away with it.
