Okay, I think I can summarise all thse wonderful comments like this: you approve of this latest development.
Alicia, you mentioned the notion that Jon is irreplaceable to L&C, but CK sees things differently. Well, you have my super-BR, Wendy, to thank for a lot of that.
It's going to become a thornier issue as time goes on, too.
Sherry, good point about the whirlwind. Mind you, I suppose I was envisioning a fairly small-scale disturbance which wouldn't be so eye-catching, but I'll see if I can work something in to address your issue.
Metwin1, you'll find out very soon about Lois's reaction.
Maria, you ask why CK didn't hear the plane. Well, he's not exactly tuned into Superman-emergencies at the moment, is he? And he wasn't even in Metropolis when it happened. LOL! on the smelly baby!
Hi, Merry.
Yup, I liked rescuing the rescuer, too.
Tricia (and Saskia), yes, you're right - Clark thought he'd only be gone a couple of minutes and that Jon would still be asleep. Not one of his best moments.
Right, off to post the next bit!
