Thanks for your responses, guys. Glad you like the premise.
Doubt it will go over well with Lois when she awakes
Ya think?
You are a lawyer, ML. In a case like this, would the kidnapper always be the bad guy? Would it always be the kidnapper who had to face charges, not the guy mind-controlling the victim?
You know, Ann, you might find this hard to believe but in all my years of practicing criminal law, I've never actually encountered this particular situation.
It might be an interesting case to argue though - always assuming, of course, that one could even prove the premise.
it may be the kind of thing that can only happen in a Superman universe
Ya think?
Ahh... now that's one of the fun things about playing in this universe. In a universe where there is a flying man, almost anything else is possible.
I just still feel so traumatized by the whole amnesia arc that the reminder is a bit painful.
If you feel traumatized, just think how Lois and Clark feel.
I loved the little clues you sprinkled in about how Lois' subconscious might be reacting to Clark - how she kissed him back and her reaction to Clark standing up to (or threatening) Deter - and I hope that he'll be able to build on that.
You might want to keep that in mind as you continue to read.

Perry lunged for Deter even before Lois finished speaking. Clark had to jump forward to hold him back from doing exactly what Clark was forcing himself not to do.
“What the Sam Hill are you doing?” Perry yelled. “You conniving little brain sucker.”

I never saw that coming
Actually, that is taken directly from the episode - word for word. So you should thank the episode writers for that one.
In fact, that is the reason I chose to stop posting where I did. That ends what we were given in the episode. From this point on, we're in uncharted territory.
it certainly sounds like it's going to be pure waffy fun.
Well, at least until Lois wakes up.
Are you willing to give us a rough estimate how long this is going to be? 10 parts? 25 parts? 50 parts? 100 parts? Longer?
Don't know how many parts. But it is a bit over 300kb. So it's not all that long. Sort of on the same level as Super Stud or The People v. Clark Kent. It's the length of story I most like to write because I can edit it in a single sitting - which makes finding plot holes and keeping the story line tight a whole lot easier.
I wouldn't mind a really, really long story
Sorry. That's not this story. But then, really long stories take so much out of me. This is just a little bit of fun. Or at least, it's fun for me. Not so sure about Lois or Clark or the rest of you.
