Yay! Elle is posting!
I like where this is going!

I like the set-up, I like Lois' scene with her mom. And poor Clark, stranded in L.A.
He's gonna need a place to stay . . .
I have only one complaint. Why Caltech?

Send it to USC!
Seriously, though, I think UCLA is a more likely candidate for that sort of research. Or possibly a private company.
